| Ranunculus sceleratus subsp. multifidus (Nutt.) Hultén | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Hultén, Bot. Not. 1947: 352 (1947). - Ranunculus reptabundus Rupr., Fl. Samojed. Cisural.: 10 (1845). Described from northeastern European Russia. |
| Chromosomes | (1) 32 (4x). - Canada. - Scott (1974a), see below. (2) 64 (8x). - Canada. - Mulligan and Porsild (1969b); Göpfert (1974); Löve and Löve (1982a, for "eremogenes"). The many Scott (1974a) chromosome counts of 2n = 32 from western and northwestern Canada (for Ranunculus sceleratus) demonstrate the absence of the constant difference in ploidy levels reported between North American and Eurasian plants by Löve and Löve (1975a). In this region, according to the map of Hultén and Fries (1986), the plants should be named subsp. multifidus and not subsp. sceleratus. |
