Ranunculus aconitifolius
Ranunculus pascuinus
Ranunculus yatsugatakensis

Paddy,
Ranunculus aconitifolius is found in lowland and mountains wood and meadows of Europe, very often in very wet places. It is clump forming and 40 – 60 cm tall. It has loose shower of lovely white stars, is the joy of any bog or rich waterside place.

Maggi Young:
http://www.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp/publish_db/Bulletin/no34/no34007.html  takes you to a paper on TAXONOMIC NOTES ON SOME ALPINE SPECIES OF RANUNCULUS (RANUNCULACEAE) IN THE HIMALAYA which makes soem mention of similarities between one species there and two Japanese species, one of which is Ranunculus yatsugatakensis... this may be of some help to you, Paddy.
Here is a Japanese page with pix  http://www.botanic.jp/plants-ya/yakinp.htm

As to the R. pascuinus, I can only find that it is Tasmanian ? species??  and there is a photo here:

Paddy Tobin:
Franz, Maggi,

Many thanks. I had spent some time on the internet without any great success.

I had found that R. aconitifolius grew in central Europe but that is all I found out, no  photograph, no information about growing conditions nor no description, so Franz your posting has given me great information.

R. pascuinus seems to grow in Australia and Tasmania but again I found no information about growing conditions and again, no  photograph.

R. yatsugatakensis drew a complete blank.

So now I am a little more informed.

Many thanks, Paddy

Paddy,

R. pascuinus, the Pressed Hair buttercup, is a Tasmanian endemic which is found  in grassland/grassy heaths in the eastern mountains. A small (2-3 cm) rosette herb with hairs pressed tightly on the leaves and flowering stems; leaves formed of three leaflets or three strong segments; the single flowers are golden yellow held on stems above the leaves.
