Taxonomic Comments
This record represents the broad concept of Ranunculus eschscholtzii following FNA (vol. 3, 1997). FNA (vol. 3, 1997) expands the concept of R. eschscholtzii by including R. eximius (= R. eschscholtzii var. eximius) and R. suksdorfii (= R. eschscholtzii var. suksdorfii) as varieties of R. eschscholtzii. Five varieties are recognized in total (eschscholtzii, eximius, oxynotus, suksdorfii, and trisectus). In contrast, Kartesz (1994) treated R. eximius, R. suksdorfii, and R. eschscholtzii as distinct species.
