Ranunculus auricomus complex in the flora of Latvia. Ranunculus auricomus group – species with glabrous receptales. Acta Biol. Univ. Daugavp., 2024(1): 133-156. Abstract Traditionally, authors in Latvia summarize all agamic species of Ranunculus auricomus complex under three species: R. auricomus L., R. fallax (Wimm. et Grab.) Sloboda and R. cassubicus L. However, numerous compelling studies have found that R. auricomus complex is a large assembly of apomictic microspecies. In this article, 15 species with glabrous or nearly glabrous receptacles of the R. auricomus group in Latvia are presented: R. acrifolius (Nannf. & H. Sm.) Ericss., R. amplisinus (Markl.) Ericss., R. brachyphyllarius (Markl.) Ericss., R. cosmophyllus Ericss., R. exiguifrons (Cedercr.) Ericss., R. inconspectus (Markl.) Ericss., R. latisinuatus (Cedercr.) Ericss., R. lepidus (Markl.) Ericss., R. ostrobottnicus (Markl. ex G. Kvist) Ericss., R. pseudoacris Tzvel. (R. acriformis Soó), R. pseudovertumnalis Haas, R. rotundellus (Markl.) Ericss., R. rotundidens (Julin) Ericcs., R. schillerii Soó, and R. spissidens (Markl. ex Fagerstr.) Ericss. Keywords: Ranunculus, buttercup, apomictic microspecies, Latvia. *Corresponding author: Pēteris Evarts-Bunders.
