Ranunculus asiaticus, Linn. (R. orientalis, Hort., not Linn.). Fig. 3341. Perennial, 6-12 in. high: sts. erect, simple or branched, somewhat appressed hirsute: lowest radical lvs. cuneate-ovate, dentate at the obtuse apex; the others ternately or biternately cut, segms. ovate or oblong, toothed or deeply trifid, sometimes many-fld: fls. 1-4 to a st., of many various colors; sepals spreading; petals large, obovate, very obtuse, much exceeding the calyx: achenes papery-compressed, oblong, glabrous, attenuate to a much shorter beak which is hooked and black at the tip; head of achenes cylindrical. May, June. S. E. Eu., Asia Minor, Syria and Persia. F.S. 16:1679 (fl.-pl.). G.M. 49:13.—Very variable; the common garden ranunculus of which there are several highly developed strains, many of which are very double. The fleshy roots are sold as bulbs. The cult, forms of R. asiatocus are constantly increasing in number. They are of two main types: (1) The florists' section, called Persian Ranunculi, or true R. asiaticus. These require more care than the others. They are very variable in form and color, and are the most highly cult, members of the genus. (2) The gardeners section, called Turban Ranunculi, or var. africanus, Hort. (R. africanus, Hort.). Compared with the first section, these have larger, broader, 3-parted lvs., not so much cut: fls. larger and broader, with many crisp petals, not flat and spreading but erect and curved inward, forming a spherical fl., as in the double peonies. Var. superbissimus, Hort., is a taller-growing very large semi-double-fld. form. July- Sept. R.B. 16:133.
