Ranunculus sceleratus subsp. sceleratus
CELERY-LEAVED BUTTERCUP---- POISONOUS WEED !!
COMMON NAMES : blister buttercup, celery buttercup, celery leaved crowfoot, celery ranunculus, celery-leaf buttercup, celeryleaf buttercup, celery-leaf crowfoot, celery-leaf crowsfoot, celery-leaved buttercup, cursed buttercup, cursed crowfoot, cursed crowsfoot, marsh crowfoot, poison buttercup
BOTANICAL NAME : Ranunculus sceleratus subsp. sceleratus
FAMILY : Ranunculaceae
ORIGIN : The exact range of this species is obcure, but it is thought to be native to northern Africa (i.e. northern Algeria, northern Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia), Europe, western and northern Asia (i.e. Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, China and Japan), the Indian Sub-continent (i.e. Bhutan, northern India, Nepal and Pakistan) and North America (i.e. most of the USA).
GEBERAL DESCRIPTION: Suitable for: light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It can grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It prefers moist or wet soil and can grow in water.
HABIT AND HABITAT :Celery-leaved buttercup (Ranunculus sceleratus subsp. sceleratus) generally grows in moist or muddy sites (e.g. along drainage lines, on riverbanks, in swamps and marshes, in moist low-lying areas and in poorly drianed pastures) and can displace native species from such areas. It is listed as an environmental weed. Grows up to 2 feet tall in marshy or shallowish wet places. It is native to North America and Eurasia, where it grows in wet and moist habitat, including ponds and streambanks. It is an annual herb growing up to half a meter tall.
STEM :Very stout main stem, with side branches at intervals. Glossy leaves.The stalks have single yellow flowers at the tips.The stems are hollow.
LEAVES: The leaves have small blades each deeply lobed or divided into usually three leaflets. They are borne on long petioles.
Upper stem leaves are commonly three-lobed and narrower than the palmately lobed leaves lower down. Leaves shiny, darkish green with very short hairs. Upper surface of petals is shiny, underneath matt.Palmately lobed dark-green, shiny lower leaves.
FLOWER: The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs).Each flower has an elongated fruit in the middle. Flowers have five typically buttercup shiny yellow petals. The flower has three to five yellow petals a few millimeters long and reflexed sepals.
FRUITS: The fruits grow bigger, losing the petals. Fruits have numerous small pimples. The fruit is an achene borne in a cluster of several.
TOXICITY : ==>It has an acrid taste and is poisonous, containing Ranunculin which is converted to the poisonous Protoanemonin by the action of enzymes, which it contains and are released on damage. On the skin the sap will cause severe irritation and blisters with ulceration. If eaten, diarrhoea, abdominal pains, tinnitus, headache, dizziness, seizures, tachycardia, nephritis and perhaps death by respiratory and cardiac arrest. Accidental poisoning of cattle is more common.
==>Ranunculus sceleratus
(marsh buttercup.)
Gnawing and screwing pains in the evenings and before mid-night.
Twitches in the limbs.
Fainting from pain.
The pains are aggravated in the evening and diminish toward mid-night and are followed then by sleeplessness.
Periodical complaints.
Sensation of enlargement of the head.
==>Celery-leaved buttercup (Ranunculus sceleratus) is a native herb found across most of Canada. This plant contains a toxic irritant that produces protoanemonin upon mastication. All types of livestock can become ill upon ingestion, but cattle are most commonly affected. Horses and goats have also been poisoned (Cooper and Johnson 1984, Fuller and McClintock 1986).
