    Abstract

    Based on an extensive morphological study of Ranunculus cantoniensis and its allied species in Taiwan four species are recognized: R. cantoniensis DC., R. chinensis Bunge, R. sieboldii Miq., and R. silerifolius Lév. (previously lumped into R. sieboldii Miq.). Ranunculus chinensis Bunge is a new record for the flora of Taiwan. A key to species, taxonomic characters, illustration, and geographical distribution are provided here.
