I have not seen the fruit of this pretty Ranunculus. i 
Candolle says of it, “ Carpella oyato-compressa, minima, leevia.” 
Delessert’s figure, which represents a much finer plant than that 
here given, exhibits the carpels as rather large than otherwise. 
The petals are five, subrotund; and the very hairy calyx is 
appressed to the corolla.
