Records of Ranunculus longicaulis and R. pseudohirculus (Ranunculaceae) from Nepal by Andrey S. Erst* and Alexander P. Sukhorukov – Taiwania, 56(3): 218-222, 2011 218 –

ABSTRACT: The records of Ranunculus longicaulis and R. pseudohirculus are cited from Nepal. Both species were earlier identified as R. pulchellus. The key for delimitation as well as taxonomic notes of these three species are provided. Some populations from Central Asia and Himalayas differ in pubescence details and morphometry.

Attempting to get the exposure right for white and yellow-flowered plants (especially those with shiny petals) on sunny days is a challenge as they ‘reflect’ the light.  It can be impossible with most cameras to expose correctly for both the flowers and darker green foliage.
Most buttercups are yellow-flowered and thus fall into this category.  The images posted on efI of Ranunculus spp. bear testament to this!
However, they present additional difficulties, even in shady spots.
The best I usually manage is a ‘fair’ exposure.  Seldom am I comfortable with my photos of Ranunculus spp.
I spotted a small piece in ‘The Times’ (of London) 22nd February 2017 entitled ‘Secret of petal power’ which appears to provide an explanation for our ‘trials and tribulations’ trying, often with little success, to photograph buttercups satisfactorily.
Casper van der Kool of Laussane University has discovered the ‘secret’ behind the buttercup’s shiny petals: an outer layer only one cell thick that hides an air chamber beneath.  This “…acts as an optical film similar to oil on water of a soap bubble”.  It seems that butterflies use similar structures to produce colour.  His findings are published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.

Functional optics of glossy buttercup flowers

Having read the abstract (though not the full article), I find the brief summary of this within ‘The Times’ is incomplete.  I recommend anyone interested, at the very least reads through the abstract, if not accesses the full article.  I shall quote the first sentence of this Abstract, “Buttercup (Ranunculus spp.) flowers are exceptional because they feature a distinct gloss (mirror-like reflection) in addition to their matte-yellow coloration.
NOT that this helps with photographing the buttercups themselves – especially a high elevations where u.v. light is an additional consideration.
AND there is the ‘small’ matter of correct identification of this challenging genus.  I must wait and STEEL myself for the task of scrutinising this genus in the Himalaya along with the entries for it in eFI.  It will not be a quick & easy task!  I have images of Ranunculus taken in the Himalaya decades ago that I cannot, at present, identify with confidence.

Pl. go throughRanunculus ‎(Ranunculaceae) page with images of species in efloraofindia.

I request you to pl. go through & point out mistakes, if any. I hope this will aid in identifications in future. If anybody can send images of other species of this genera (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified images, it will be really nice.
