Ranunculus nilgiricus, a Replacement Name for the Illegitimate R. reniformis (Ranunculaceae)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Ranunculus reniformis Wall. ex Wight & Arn. is a rare species endemic to southern India (Western and Eastern Ghats), which is characterized by long-petiolate basal leaves with crenately dentate lamina. This species name is an illegitimate later homonym of R. reniformis Gilib. A new name, R. nilgiricus Sennikov & Val. N. Tikhom., is proposed to replace the later homonym.
