Ranunculus Ranunculus arvensis Genre RanunculusL., 1753 Classification phylogénétique( Ne doit pas être confondu avec Ficaire. ) Les renoncules (genre Ranunculus) sont des plantes herbacées, annuelles ou vivaces, de la famille des Ranunculaceae. Elles comportent près de 500 espèces mais Ranunculus auricomus comprend un ensemble très complexe de 800 taxons apomictiques, auxquels certains botanistes ont donné le rang d'espèces ou de micro-espèces. Elles ont un port très différent selon les espèces et sont le plus souvent des végétaux herbacés vivaces. Aux latitudes tropicales, ce sont plutôt des plantes d'altitude.
