Plate 26 shows three splendid illustrations of I. Monkshood buttercup (lat. Ranunculus aconitifolius), II. troll flower (lat. Trollius euopaeurs), III. bulbous buttercup (lat. Ranunculus bulbosus). The troll flower owes its name to the old Germanic word troll, meaning ball, and not to the well-known Nordic spirits. The troll flower is on the “Red List” of endangered species in Germany.
