388. Ranunculus abortivus, L. Small-flowered Crowfoot. 
Common; moist, shaded situations in various soils. 
389. Ranunculus sceleratus, L. Cursed Crowfoot. 
Occasional; ditches and low fields. 
390. Ranunculus recurvatus, Poir. 
Occasional; in woods and shades. 
391. Ranunculus acris, L. Tall Buttercup. 
Common; low meadows and pastures. I have seen 
several pastures almost entirely abandoned to this weed. 
The Buttercups are avoided by stock by reason of their 
acrid qualities. 
392. Ranunculus Pennsylvanicus, L. f. Bristly Crowfoot. 
Occasional; wet places. 
393. Ranunculus repens, L. This and the following called 
Creeping Buttercup. 
Rare; low, wet ground along C. M. & St. P. right-of- 
way at 10th St, Racine. The only .station and prob¬ 
able introduced there. 
394. Ranunculus septentrionalis, Poir. 
Common; ditches, low woods and other moist situa¬ 
tions. Very near the preceding. Our commonest But¬ 
tercup. 
395. Ranunculus septentrionalis, Poir., var. hispidus, T. & G. 
Rare; near Tabor, in low woods, occurs an extremely 
robust and hispid variety of septentrionalis, probably 
R. repens, L., var. hispidus, Torr. & Gray of Wood, 
and which it hardly seems should have been suppressed. 
It is a striking form, well differentiated from the type 
and Worthy of at least varietal rank. Included in 
Swezey’s list. 
396. Ranunculus fascicularis, Muhl. Early Buttercup. 
Common; banks, with or without shade. Our earliest 
Buttercup, easily distinguishable by its fascicled root 
system. 
397. Ranunculus cireinatus, Sibth. White Water Crowfoot. 
Common; ponds and slow waters. 
398. Ranunculus Cymbalaria, Pursh. Seaside Crowfoot. 
Rare; in tiny pools in crevices of the limestone bed 
of Root River at Horlicksville, Racine Co., two miles
