  Ranunculaceae
Ranunculaceae occurs throughout the world, but is most abundant in temperate and cool regions of the northern and southern hemispheres.
The Ranunculaceae is also an example of a family whose circumscription is supported by cladistic analysis of morphology and various kinds of nucleotide sequence data.
Origin: The Ranunculaceae is thought to have evolved from one of the older groups of angiosperms, the same group that includes magnolias and tulip-trees.

 Ranunculaceae (Buttercup Family) Part 2
Ranunculaceae has few obvious traits that distinguish it: the plants are usually herbaceous (lacking a woody stem), the flowers have numerous stamens, and either many pistils that develop into single-seed fruit or a few separate pistils that develop into many-seeded fruits.
When both sepals and petals are present, there are usually 5, but sometimes 4, and sometimes no petals, but brightly colored sepals; the petals may have spurs that run between the sepals (as with columbines), or only some petals with spurs that run into the sepals (as in delphiniums).
But the basic combination of numerous stamens with a few or many separate pistils is uncommon anywhere outside this Family.

In the laboratory during the extraction of anemonin, all the plants yielding this compound were troublesome to handle (Lloyd 1887).
Several genera in the family Ranunculaceae possess irritant properties from the presence of an innocuous glycoside, ranunculin, which readily breaks down in bruised plant tissue by enzyme action to release protoanemonin which is a volatile, strongly irritant, unstable oil (Shearer 1938, Hill and van Heyingen 1951).

Dew and rain slide off the slick, shiny surface carrying the pollen to the stigmas below to fertilize them.
The Ranunculaceae name is ancient and probably is derived from the Latin "rana", meaning "frog" or "tadpole".
Most likely the name was applied because frogs and some Ranunculaceae prefer the same moist habitat -- or the name might refer to some long forgotten perceived relationship in size, shape, smell, etc. Linnaeus named this genus in 1753.
