Treated by FNA as part of a cosmopolitan Ranunculus aquatilis var. diffusus, with huge variability said to be mostly under environmental control. However, recognition of Ranunculus longirostris as a species ranging over much of northern and western North America, seems both reasonable and sufficiently broad.
