Extinct (1909).
Ranunculus trichophyllus Thread-leaved Watercrowfoot
Infrequent in and by pools, including Dumbarnie Links.
Ranunculus aquatilis (s.s.) Common Watercrowfoot
Very rare, much confused with the next: by Cassindonald Bog.
Ranunculus peltatus Pond Water-crowfoot
Common on lochs and ponds and in burns, much more likely than the last.
Ranunculus penicillatus Stream Water-crowfoot
Ssp. pseudofluitans is abundant in the R. Eden and Auchtermuchty Burn.

Records almost certainly refer to the last, or are in error.

Rather local, occasionally abundant in some NE Fife lochs.
Aquilegia vulgaris Columbine
A rare escape or throw-out.
