Abstract: 
Five Ranunculus species, R. acris, R. auricomus, R. bulbosus, R. flammula, and R. repens were studied in respect to phenology and pollination biology at several places in their natural habitats around Giessen (50 degrees 35'N, 80 degrees 41'E), Central Germany, and at garden-beds of Giessen University in 1989. For R. auricomus, R. bulbosus, and R. acris quite distinct phenologies were observed at the two sites, with a much longer flowering period at the bed site. Flower visiting insects, belonging mainly to the Diptera, Hymenoptera, and Coleoptera, varied considerably in the natural habitats and at the bed sites. The great variety of flower visiting insects and the substitution of insect species at different sites are an expression of a generalistic pollination syndrome of the studied Ranunculus species.
