PLANT HOST AND DISTRIBUTION. In Poland, Ramularia didyma var. didyma has been found on Ranunculus bulbosus L. (Adamska, pers. observ.), and R. repens L. (Mulenko 1996) growing in the Slowinski National Park and the Bialowieza National Park, respectively.

According to Braun (1998), this fungus was found to occur on different species of the genera Anemone and Ranunculus (Ranunculaceae) in New Zealand, Asia, Europe, and South and North America.
