658 SUPPLEMENT— RANUNCULACE^. 



must be erased under C. crispa. — /?. Walleri. C. Walteri, Pursh ! (v. sp. 

 in herh. Wall.) 



15. C. reticulata (Walt. !) The specimen in Walter's herbarium, which 

 is clearly the plant described by himself and Pursh, is labelled ' C. crispa.'' 



2. ANEMONE, p. 11-14. 



10. A. Virginiana (Linn. !) Flowers from June-August. 



11. A. mnltifida (DC!) consists of the original A. multifida. Pair.! 

 siqyjjl., which is founded entirely on a plant collected at the Straits of Magel- 

 lan by Commerson (v, sp. in herb. mus. Par.) ; and of the fi. Hvdscniana 

 (A. multifida, herb. Banks ! A. sanguinea, Pursh .'), a North American 

 plant ; which is doubtless a different species, (as we had already suggested) 

 with flov.'ers only half the size ; the sepals red (not ochroleucous) &c. Our 

 plant must consequently bear the name of A. Hudsoniana, Richardson. 



5, RANUNCULUS, p. 15-25. 



1. R. aquatilis. — To this must be added : 



s. brachypus : leaves all filiformly dissected ; peduncles shorter than the 

 leaves. — Hook. S^' Am. ! bot. Beediey, sup)pl. p. 316. — California, Douglas ! 



2. R. glacialis, — Collected in Greenland by Capt. Scoresby ! (v. sp. ia 

 herb. Hook.) 



13. R. cardiophyllus (Hook.)— Add syn. Bot. mag. t. 2999. 



15. R. glaberrimus (Hook. !) — In the ' Snake Country,' along Snake or 

 Lewis River, Mr. Tolmie ! 



28. R. repens. — To this several described species must be referred. R. 

 tomentosus DC. (as to spec, in herb. Lamb.! R. lanuginosus, var. Pursh!) 

 and R. < arolinianus, DC. ! (as to the specimen accompanying R. lanugi- 

 nosus, Pursh, in herb. Lamb, and probably entirely, altliough we have 

 not seen Bosc's plant) are vernal states of our R. repens, resembling 

 those we frequently meet with in rather dry and sterile soil. R. Belvisii, 

 DC. ! is a larger state of the same S])ecies, nearly the same as R. niiidus, 

 Muhl. and Ell. ! R. hispid us, Michx. ! (and of this work, excluding the 

 appended remark respecting the leaves) is the same with the R. Marilan- 

 dicus, Pair. ! (fide spec, in Mus. Par.), our own R. repens y. To this also 

 belongs R. Philonotis, Pursh! — Among the very numerous European forms 

 of R. repens in Prof. Schlechtendal's herbarium, we recognized most of the 

 American varieties which we have referred to that species. 



29. R. hispidus (Michx.) must accordingly be referred to R. repens y. 

 (which should bear this name instead of Marilandicus.) 



30. R. occidentalis. — Add syn. R. recurvatus ;5. Nelsonii, DC! syst. 1. 

 p. 290. (v. sp. in herb. Banks.) ; which must be erased from no. 32. R. 

 recurvatus, p. 23. 



33. R. Carolinianus. — The plant we have described under this name is 

 not the R. Carolinianus of De Candolle. (Vid. remarks under R. repens.) 

 It is apparently the R. palmatus, Ell. which name must be substituted, and 

 all the other synonymy excluded. — The species should stand to R. repens, 

 with which it has many points of resemblance.
