| Abstract | ||
| The Ranunculaceae is a dicotyledonous plant, some of its genera have special morphological characteristics. This family includes 5 subfamilies Glaucidioideae, Hydrastidoideae, Thalictroideae, Coptidoideae and Ranunculoideae. The genus Ranunculus is the largest genus in this family, which has a wide range in terms of morphology, ecology and life cycle. This genus has the ability to survive in different environments and has been the subject of historical evolutionary research from the past until now. After Europe, China is the richest region with Ranunculus genus. In this genus, there are important chemical compounds in the category of flavonoids, triterpenoids, steroid saponins, alkaloids, glycosides, organic acids and fatty acids, esters, sterols and other compounds that are found in different parts of the plant. to be Until today, about 60 genera of Ranunculaceae have been reported in Iran, which are in Anemoneae, Delphinieae, Adonideae and Ranunculeae tribes and are scattered in different regions of the country. | ||
