Flora of India, 1993 lists only one species O. endlicheri (Walp) Bennet & Chandra growing in India (syn: O. polypetala (D Don) Hook.f as its basionym Ranunculus popypetalus D. Don., 1834 is later homonym of R. polypetalus Rafin, 1817). It also considers Indian O. glacialis not actual European plant, and synonym of O. endlicheri.
Flora of China, however lists both from North India O. endlicheri: Leaves reniform with truncate to subcordate base, margin crenate, petals usually 12 O. glaciatis: leaves ovate or elliptic, base cuneate, margin usually entire, petals 12-19. Looking these the plant is clearly O. endlicheri (syn: O. polypetala).
