  • Ficaria Verna Huds
    DRAFT: WRITTEN FINDINGS OF THE WASHINGTON STATE NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL BOARD DRAFT July 2013 Scientific name: Ficaria verna Huds. Synonyms: Ranunculus ficaria L., Ranunculus ficaria L. ssp. bulbifera (Marsden-Jones) Lawalree, Ranunculus ficaria L. ssp. calthifolius (Reichenbach) Arcangeli, Ranunculus ficaria L. var. bulbifera Marsden-Jones, Ficaria verna Huds. Common name: Lesser celandine, fig buttercup, pilewort, figroot buttercup, figwort, bulbous buttercup, and small crowfoot Family: Ranunculaceae Legal Status: Proposed Class B noxious weed Images from left to right: 1. Plant growth with flowers, image: Catherine Herms, The Ohio State University, Bugwood.org; 2.Tuberous roots of Ficaria verna, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org; 3. Close up of flower, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org; 4. Bulbils in leaf axils, image: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org. Description and Variation: As Post et al. (2009) outline, North American treatments of Ficaria verna did not include subspecies or only included one while European treatments include five subspecies: subsp. ficariiformis, subsp. chrysocephalus, subsp. calthifolius, subsp. ficaria, subsp. bulbilifer. Through a review of herbarium specimens, Post et al. (2009) determined that all five subspecies existed here in the United States. Sell (1994) provides descriptions of all five subspecies. Whittemore (1997) states that the species is highly variable and that the different forms intergrade extensively and varieties are often impossible to distinguish. Listing Ficaria verna as a Class C noxious weed includes all subspecies of F. verna and any cultivars of the species and subspecies. Overall Habit: Ficaria verna is a highly variable, glabrous perennial with tuberous roots.
