Abstract
Traditionally, all authors in Latvia summarize all taxa of Ranunculus auricomus complex under three species, R. auricomus L., R. fallax (Wimm. et Grab.) Sloboda and R. cassubicus L. However, there is a lot of compelling studies, that R. auricomus complex is a large assembly of apomictic microspecies. In this article, 18 species – first part – species with sparsely to densely hairy receptacle of the R. auricomus group in Latvia are presented: R. acutiusculus (Markl.) Ericcs., R. amblyodon (Markl.) Ericcs., R. atriviolacens (Markl.) Ericcs., R. basitruncatus Borch.–Kolb, R. brunnescens (Markl.) Ericcs., R. euryphyllarius (Markl.) Ericcs., R. glaucescens (Markl.) Ericcs., R. gyratidens (Markl.) Ericcs., R. integerrimus (Julin) Borch.– Kolb, R. linkolae (Markl.) Ericcs., R. macrophyllarius (Markl.) Ericcs., R. marklundii (Julin & Nannf.) Ericcs., R. obtusidents (Julin) Ericss., R. obtusulus Markl., R. oligandrus (Markl.) Ericcs., R. orbicans (Markl.) Ericcs., R. pullus (Markl.) Ericcs. and R. stenodon (Markl.) Ericcs.
Keywords: Ranunculus auricomus, goldilocks buttercup, flora, apomictic microspecies, Latvia.
