Lesser Celandine / Bulbous Celandine Very similar to Ranunculus ficaria ssp. ficaria. but often has less flowers with narrower petals and more/less shallow-lobed leaves. Produces little ripe seed, main reproduction is by small tubers formed in the leaf-axils. Usually found on more disturbed ground than ssp. ficaria. Woodland, stream and riversides, gardens. Most records are from S, E, NE and central Ireland, but it is very under-recorded. |
