the same species is rendered the more probable, from the 

 Hungarian pedatus being found likewise on the authority of 

 Dr. Fischer, in the neighbourhood of the Volga. According 

 to De Candolle the stem of Ranunculus pedatus is some- 

 times pubescent, sometimes smooth, and sometimes smooth at 

 the lower part and pubescent at the upper. 



A hardy perennial of little beauty. Flowers in April. Com- 

 municated by Mr. Joseph Knight of the Exotic Nursery.
