While reading Janis Ruksans's new book, I came across a reference to
"Ficaria kochii." I surmised this was what has long been known as
Ranunculus kochii (a plant I lost some years ago and would love to have
again), so I Googled it and found four citations of Ficaria kochii Ledeb.
Then I wondered what has now happened to the common Ranunculus ficaria L.
(the bright yellow weed that gets into lawns), and apparently it's now
Ficaria verna Huds.

Does anyone know whether this revision is fully accepted? It'll certainly
annoy a lot of people who grow 'Brazen Hussy'!
