Ranunculaceae: Buttercups, Columbines, Delphiniums, Meadow Rue, Larkspurs

A highly diverse family. Some of its members are bisexual like most plants, but some are unisexual,
and those can be mono- or diocieous; flowers can be radially symmetrical (buttercups) or irregular
(delphiniums); inflorescence can occur singly, or in clusters, racemes or panicles; leaves can be
simple or compound, large or small -- in sum, lots of variability. The common features are: superior
ovary, variable number of pistils and many stamens.
