Ranunculus muricatus L. (Medit.) – A rare and usually ephemeral alien. Apparently first collected on rough ground by a canal in Wilsele in 1886. Between 1999 and 2005 regularly seen on a railway yard in the port area in Gent, obviously as a grain alien. Finally, in 2008 recorded in abundance (+ 100 plants) on gravel in an urban area in Edegem (Antwerpen), without obvious vector of introduction.
