Comments
Woodland buttercup has fewer than 10 Watershed records. They are from creek sides, wet meadows, and forest seeps of the montane and the subalpine; e.g., E of San Luis Peak in Saguache Co (1999). All collections of Ranunculus uncinatus are from the west side of the Watershed. The USA distribution is mainly the Rocky Mountains and the West coast ranges. The species follows the Rio Grande drainage only to Bernalillo Co, New Mexico.
