| Publ. & Syn. | Tzvelev, Byull. Moskovsk. Obshch. Isp. Prir., Otd. Biol. 99, 5: 70 (1994). Internal note: Is this a nomen novum for Ranunculus borealis var. typica Trautv., Bull. Soc. Imp. Naturalistes Moscou 33: 73 (1860)? |
| Notes | In a northern context, the name Ranunculus subborealis replaces R. borealis Trautv., Bull. Soc. Imp. Naturalistes Moscou 33: 73 (1860) type: Kazakhstan: "Songaria, in den Karkarly", 10. May 1843, leg. A. Schrenk; [R. acris var. borealis Trautv. in Regel, Bull. Soc. Imp. Naturalistes Moscou 34, 3: 48 (1861), R. acris subsp. borealis (Trautv.) Nyman, Consp. Fl. Eur. 1: 12 (1878)]. See Tzvelev (1994). Internal note: There is something inherently suspect in a species named by Trautvetter as R. borealis from Kazakhstan! |
