General/Distribution: About 30 species in the Northern and Southern temperate region. Represented in Pakistan by 2 species.
Comment/Acknowledgements: Often included in Ranunculus as a subgenus, but the shape of the nectar-pit alongwith the very specific ecology and its morphological features seem to justify generic separation.

In order to identify specimens correctly it is essential that flowering material is collected alongwith the mature or nearly mature fruits. Leaves tend to collapse as soon as they are removed from water and it is necessary to arrange them in a way that shows the original position of the filiform segments. The small petals often get lost, but should be preserved for identification.
