Three new species of Ranunculus (Ranunculaceae) form Tasmania.

Abstract

Three newspecies of the genus Ranunculus L. are reported from Tasmania. Two of the new species, R. collicolus and R. prasinus, are stoloniferous and show affinities with R. acaulis Banks & Sol. ex DC., R. collinus R. Br. ex DC. and R. glabrifolius Hook. The third, R. jugosus, has close affinity with the endemic R. triplodontus Melville.
