Taxonomic Comments
This record represents the concept of Ranunculus glaberrimus following FNA (vol. 3, 1997) which treats R. glaberrimus with two varieties: R. glaberrimus var. ellipticus (including R. oreogenes) and R. glaberrimus var. glaberrimus, and splits out R. glaberrimus var. reconditus as the distinct species R. triternatus. In contrast, the concept of R. glaberrimus of Kartesz (1994) includes R. glaberrimus var. reconditus and does not include R. oreogenes.
