[6] [7] Although the presence of a corm distinguishes Ranunculus bulbosus from some other species of buttercup such as Ranunculus acris, the species also has distinctive reflexed sepals. Other names for the bulbous buttercup are "Goldcup" because of the colour and shape of the leaves, and "Frogs-foot" from their form. [8]

The familiar and widespread buttercup of gardens throughout Northern Europe (and introduced elsewhere) is the creeping buttercup Ranunculus repens, which has extremely tough and tenacious roots. Two other species are also widespread, the bulbous buttercup Ranunculus bulbosus and the much taller meadow buttercup Ranunculus acris .
The woodlands of Asia, including China and Japan, are home to bulbous plants such as arisaemas and the giant cardiocrinums. [16] Some bulbous plants grow in communities that are adapted to recurrent fires during the dry season (for example, many Iridaceae species). During these periods the plants are dormant and in this way can survive the heat ...

Another fossil has been described with the name Teixeiraea, also from the Cretaceous of Portugal. [5] The genus Atli from the Late Cretaceous of Canada appears to have had a liana-like growth habit. [6] According to molecular clock calculations, the lineage that led to Ranunculales split from other plants about 132 Mya [7] or 140 Mya. [8]
Ranunculus asiaticus, the Persian buttercup, is a species of buttercup native to the eastern Mediterranean region, southwestern Asia, southeastern Europe (Crete, Karpathos and Rhodes), and northeastern Africa. [1] It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing up to 45 cm tall, with simple or branched stems.
