Thanks for sharing these beautiful pics. I have never seen such long thalamus in R. sceleratus as seen in fourth image. Or may be it looks that way in the picture. I have seen R. sceleratus growing in Kashmir where they grow medium sized in wet places, the ones along banks of Tikkar tal lake in Morni were on gravely soil and much smaller, but those that grow along margins of ponds and lakes in Delhi grow very tall, sometimes up to 80-90 cm. These are grown in our botanical garden where they fruit very well and show good fruiting especially when watering is withdrawn. This was one such plant. 08022012 AP-1 Small Plant for id from Ambala Cantt Haryana:

I found four plants growing on the muddy edge of a small lake. The leaves have almost all turned yellow but the fresh flowers are still appearing. Looking at the seedheads, leaves and the flowers I think the plant is R. sceleratus. Please advise. Ranunculus sceleratus

26 May 2017. The last set of photos did not show the sepals clearly. I took some photos this morning to show them clearly. Superb presentation with great images. Yes, these pics belong to Ranunculus sceleratus.. I saw one R. sceleratus flowering a couple of days back and took some photos to show the habit and different leaves. The plant was about 26cm tall with the single flower measuring only 1.3cm across. The flower-stem (pedicel) was 2cm, leaf-stem for basal leaves 7cm and the tripartite basal leaves were about 3-4cm x 3-4cm.
