ON RANUNCULUS FLAMMULA, ETC. 

 By the Rev. E. S. MARSHALL, M.A., F.L.S. 



I READ with great interest Mr. E wing's recent paper (No. 

 12, pp. 235-239), which shows that he has studied these 

 plants with much attention. Detailed criticism is impossible 

 for me, as I have never visited Loch Leven, upon the plants 

 of which his observations are mainly based ; nor have I had 

 an opportunity of seeing his specimens. As, however, I 

 cannot agree with some of his inferences, I will venture upon 

 a few remarks. 



In the first place, the method adopted of writing all 

 the nine forms discussed as " R. Flammula" " jR. pseudo- 

 reptans" etc., is open to grave objection. " States," varieties (?), 

 and species or subspecies, are here put side by side as if of 

 equal rank, which obviously will not do. 



Secondly, it is asserted, with regard to the plants treated 

 of (excepting R. rcptans], that " situation has no more to do 

 with these forms than it has with the forms of other plants."
