|discussion=<p>Varieties 2 (2 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>Usually only a minority of the ovaries develop, and the fruiting receptacle is completely hidden by aborted ovaries. Populations growing at high elevations (<i>Ranunculus glaberrimus </i>var.<i> ellipticus</i>) and low elevations (<i></i>var.<i> glaberrimus</i>) are usually well differentiated, but these varieties intergrade at intermediate elevations.</p><!--
--><p>The Thompson Indians rubbed the flowers or the whole plant of <i>Ranunculus glaberrimus</i> on arrow points as a poison (D. E. Moerman 1986).</p>
