iNaturalist and GBIF media were skipped (not asked) when this page was built. Not asked, or not answered, is not "none": nothing here claims there is none. Why the site says it this way.GBIF's records not checked. GBIF's backbone holds no one accepted species of this name, and a name it holds only as another species' synonym is not taken for this one, so GBIF's records were not asked. So this page has no points on its map, no map marker, no habitat climate, no cultivation sheet and no species of nearest climate; the range is Kew's. Not a statement that none exist. How.
Summary
Ranunculus septentrionalis, the swamp buttercup, is a species of buttercup found in North America from New Brunswick to Manitoba and from Georgia to Kansas. Although some authors treat it as a distinct species, others consider it to be a subspecies of Ranunculus hispidus.
