- Comments
- According to Haines (2007, Bot. Notes 12: 4-6), Ranunculus septentrionalis is the earliest name for the plant often called R. carolinianus or R. hispidus var. nitidus. This is unfortunate since the name R. septentrionalis has frequently been misapplied to the more northern segregate of the R. hispidus complex, the correct name for which is R. carecitorum.
- Habitat
- Floodplain forests and swamps, seepage swamps, mafic fens, and other open to shaded wetlands. Infrequent and scattered throughout; locally common in some bottomlands.
