During the Danish scientific expedition to Asia Media in the 
years 1898—1899 the botanist, Mag. sc. Ove Paulsen brought 
home a very large collection of plants especially from Pamir. The 
Ranunculaceae of his collection were given me for determination, 
and I publish here the result of my researches. The species are 
33 in number, of which one Ranunculus is new. 
It is not easy to determine plants from Asia because it is 
very difficult to use the Russian literature; there are numerous 
small lists scattered in various papers, some of which are written 
in Russian language and others are not present in the. libraries of 
Copenhagen. But we have rather large collections from Asia 
Media in the Herbarium of the Botanic Museum at Copenhagen, so 
that I think my determinations will prove to be almost correct. 
In the following list I have quoted the principal lists from 
Asia Media as well as the floras of Ledebour, Hooker & 
Thomson and of Boissier after the name of the species.
