|discussion=<p>Plants with hispid stems and achenes are often separated as <i>Ranunculus uncinatus</i> var. parviflorus; these two characters are poorly correlated, however, and sometimes vary between plants in a single collection. <i>Ranunculus uncinatus</i> was reported from northeastern Alberta and adjacent Northwest Territories by H. J. Scoggan (1978-1979, part 3). The specimens have hairy receptacles and straight, broad achene beaks; they apparently represent small individuals of <i>R. macounii</i>.</p><!--
--><p>Some Native Americans used <i>Ranunculus uncinatus</i> as an antrirheumatic, a diaphoretic, a disinfectant, and an orthopedic aid, as well as in herbal steam baths intended to soothe sore muscles and rheumatism (D. E. Moerman 1986).</p>
