—Dr. Gillies’ specimens, although from a very different 
locality, and in a different state, appear specifically the 
same as those from Cuming; and if we be correct in 
this opinion, the peduncles vary considerably in length, 
being sometimes extremely short, and sometimes two or 
three inches long. The ridges on the fruit are very 
prominent, thick, and obtuse: the valleculz broad and 
flat. The leaves bear no resemblance to those of a 
Ranunculus, and hence arise our doubts of its being the 
plant intended by DeCandolle.
