location
Adriatic Sea, island Krk, Šotovento region, west-southwest of village Brzac, Kvarner bay (Rijeka region, Croatia)notes Slo.: bodičastoplodna zlatica - syn.: Ranunculus graecus Griseb. Ranunculus lavrentiadis Papan. & Kokkini - Habitat: on the shore of an abandoned and overgrown natural water pool, almost flat terrain; wet ground; calcareous bedrock; sunny place; elevation 105 m (345 feet); average precipitations ~ 1.000 mm/year, average temperature 12-13 deg C, sub-Mediterranean phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comment: Ranunculus muricatus is a Mediterranean, warmth loving plant. It is native in all countries around Mediterranean and Black Sea. However, it is also introduced to several other European countries. The plant loves, apart of the sun, moist ground and is not tolerant to Mediterranean dry ground during summer heat. The genus Ranunculus is huge. In spite of this, it is easy to identify Ranunculus muricatus by the shape of its leaves, characteristic shape of its spiny fruits (see Fig. 3) and moist environment. It is rare plant in Slovenia and can be found only on few places near Adriatic Sea shore. On Adriatic islands it is much more frequent. - Ref.: (1) A.
