| Halerpestes Greene | |
| Publ. & Syn. | Greene, Pittonia 4: 207 (1900). |
| Notes | Elven and Murray: Molecular analyses (Hörandl et al. 2005; Paun et al. 2005) support Halerpestes as a genus apart from Ranunculus. The names Cyrtorhyncha and Halerpestes are based on different species and are assumed by, e.g., Emadzade et al. (2010) not to be synonymous. |
| Chromosomes | (1) 32 (4x). - Canada, U.S.A. - At least four reports. (2) 48 (6x). - Canada, U.S.A. - At least three reports. Not included: A report of 2n = 42 from Colorado (Löve and Kapoor 1967b) may be a misprint for 2n = 32. |
