    I believe this to be Ranunuculas repens. Appreciate your opinions.

    I'm wondering about the inflorescence having a tall primary stalk and the leaves not having blotches.

    Not Ranunculus repens. Note the sepals are folded backward and the fold mark is above the base of the sepal. This is not characteristic of repens. Maybe R. sardous?

    Thank you for replying. I will check the keys for sardous.

    Not sardus, could well be lanuginosa.

    I had originally and incorrectly labelled this as being bulbosus, now I have settled on laginosus, correctly I hope!
