Baldellie rampante

B. ranunculoides appears to be declining throughout most of its European range, with healthy populations known only in its strongholds of Portugal, Spain and France. The following breakdown is taken from Kozlowski et al. (2009).

• Belgium - extinct in numerous districts, rare to very rare in Maritime, Kampen and Flander districts.
• Croatia - one historic record with no recent data.
• Denmark - still present in numerous localities, however declining in many areas.
• France - still present and locally abundant in several departments in Atlantic and central regions (Normandie, Bretagne, Pays-de-la-Loire, Poitou, Lande, etc.) although there is some evidence of a decline. It is rare to very rare in other departments, especially in the southern and eastern regions (Picardie, Ile-de-France, Champagne, Bourgogne, Dombes, Hautes-Alpes).
• Germany  - two to three historic localities, probably extinct.
• Ireland - apparently occurs in the west of Connemara but few botanists distinguish the two taxa so the true status and distribution are unknown.
• Italy - mentioned in old literature, current status and distribution unknown.
• Netherlands - very scattered, but still present in several localities, some successful conservation efforts have not reversed the general decline.
• Norway - the only known country which supports B. repens but not B. ranunculoides. Known from three well documented localities (two in Hordaland County, one in Rogaland County) which are surrounded by agriculture and settlements.
• Portugal - widespread and abundant in many areas, however there are reports of local declines.
• Spain - widespread and abundant in many areas, however there are reports of local declines. Described in old literature from the Balearic Islands but current status unknown.
• Sweden - still present in numerous localities in coastal regions in the  south of the country.
• United Kingdom - recently reported a number of sites in the west, but no comprehensive information is available on the distribution and status data.
