Ranunculus (sect. Ranunculastrum) veronicae, showing some similarities with R. subhomophyllus, is described as new to science and illustrated. The early flowering species is known only from a single population in the westernmost part of the island of Crete, where it grows at low altitude on schistose rock under Platanus orientalis trees.
