This species of Ranunculus was recorded from Chakrata.. Please suggest the specific id..
I may be repeating many of them, as they are recorded at different times, different places.. Ranunculus distans only I hope the hairy characters of the plant takes it very close to Ranunculus gouanii A European Plant, not reported from India. Wow What a treasure of Ranunculus you have.

Is this from the buttercup family..?? Location Dalhousie

Family: Ranunculaceae I think same R. distans. What about Ranunculus laetus ? Thanks, … Both are same. Pl. see Ranunculus laetus
Some buttercups are flowering already. I am not sure if it is due to mild weather this winter here. Flora of China says that R. sceleratus flowers in Jan-July but has small flowers.
I am more inclined to think that my sample is R. distans (R. laetus previously but see http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242000634)
A few observations;
Flower 2cm across, sepals hairy (villous), on a long stalk with adpressed white hair. The basal leaves large—slightly wider than long, on hairy stalks (11cmx9cm). Upper leaves without pedicels, in three, and about 4cm. The main stem hollow, hairier at nodes.
Apart from lanceolate, narrow the flowering time, the features point to R. distans. Please advise.
I am including a screenshot from the Flora of British India by J. D. Hooker.

20 January 2016 Thank you … It’s curious that many spring flowers are already out this winter. Should be.
Koel which is generally silent in winters here also, is calling incessantly since last 15 days or so in Kolkata as if it’s spring time.
Thanks … I think some expert should study this phenomenon and publish a paper. Are we in every year for an early spring? Why some plants react to warm winters while others don’t? It would be a worthwhile to record this change.

Habit : Wild Which Ranunculus ??
Perhaps R. muricatus I guess slight different to your guess and the flowering period is not matching. Pl. check at Ranunculus muricatus as suggested by … I did check accordingly earlier but still doubtful.
I guess slight different to the flowering period which is not matching.
Pl. check with R. laetus as per keys and illustrations at Srivastava SK (2010) Revision of genus Ranunculus L.(Ranunculaceae) in India. Taiwania 55(3): 273-314. [Full text with line diagrams] Thank you …! It is matching !

Please identify the small herb from an estate near Ranikhet, Uttarakhand. Here are two different plants..one of them Youngia sp.

Your images at Ranunculus repens in FOI may not be of this species as it has been reported from India, only from Sikkim as per Srivastava SK (2010) Revision of genus Ranunculus L.(Ranunculaceae) in India. Taiwania 55(3): 273-314. [Full text with line diagrams].
Pl. check Ranunculus cantoniensis DC. as per
I am not sure.
Thanks …, You are right. This plant should be Ranunculus laetus, which is now called Ranunculus distans. There is confusion about the accepted name since different links says differently, viz., POWO, CoL and GBIF! .
2 Sp. mixed-up! Pl. check comparative images at Ranunculus
