* In ranunculus- the essence consists in the nectary, all other parts of the fructi¬ 
fication are inconstant; the nectary is a pit in each petal above the claws. Some 
of the species of ranunculus are acrimonious and deleterious, especially the ranun¬ 
culus hullosus, and ranunculus sceleratus. The buttercups or crow-foots in our 
meadows are of three species, viz. 1st. ranunculus bulbosus (bulbous) hath the calyx 
turned back to the flower-stalk, the peduncles furrowed, and a bulbous root.—2d. 
ranunculus repens (creeping) hath the calyx open or spreading, the peduncle fur¬ 
rowed, and puts out runners like the strawberry. —3d. ranunculus acris (acrid) hath 
She calyx open and spreading, the peduncle round, and grows the highest.
