|discussion=<p>Of conservation concern.</p><!--
--><p>C. L. Hitchcock et al. (1955-1969, vol. 2) considered the name <i>Ranunculus triternatus</i> A. Gray to be an illegitemate homonym and used the illegitimate (superfluous) name R. reconditus A. Nelson & J. F. Macbride for this species. The name <i>Ranunculus triternatus</i> Poiret was not validly published (not accepted by Poiret) and does not invalidate <i>R. triternatus</i> A. Gray.</p>
