Plate 29 shows 5 illustrations of ranunculus. I-V shows the Asiatic buttercup (lat. Ranunculus asiaticus), one of the most frequently cultivated Ranunculus species, which was probably introduced to us a long time ago. In 1613, the first edition of the magnificent Hortus Eystettensis was published, produced by the pharmacist, botanist, collector, engraver and publisher Basilius Besler from Nuremberg. 2013 was the 400th anniversary of the first edition!
