208 A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ' FLORA VECTENSIS.' 



C. Impida, h.,\a\\ pseiido-a'ivHn, and C. polyaeavtha, A. Braim. On 

 Golden's Common, Freshwater! (F. Strattoii). 'I'his agrees fairly with 

 Plate ^IMDCCXLVI of the Flora Danica, ami also with dried specimens 

 in Braun. Eab. et Stiz., and is much more closely covered with spines 

 than in the normal C. hispida. 



C. f rat/ His, I) esY. Golden's Common, Freshwater! (F. Stratton). 



Mr. W. P. Hiern has very kindly examined and named, according to 

 his views lately published in the 'Journal of Botany ' (pp. 65, etc.), my 

 series of Batrachian Ranunculi, collected in the Isle of Wight ; and, 

 as he has given so much tinie and study to the subject, I gladly avail 

 myself of his nomenclature, which will be useful for comparison with what 

 has been said before on p. 74. Tlie numbers prefixed to the names are 

 those used by Mr. Hiern, and my comments are enclosed in brackets. 



1 . Ranunculus homceophyllus. Pond at Bembridge. (This is floating 

 " hederaceus."') 25. R. trichopliyllus. Cothey Bottom Copse and 

 Spencer Koad, Ryde. "A large form" of the same from Brading 

 Marshes Mr. Hiern thinks may belong to R.Jhribiindus. 29. R. Drouetii. 

 Knighton Upper Mill-pond and ]^iading Marshes. 19. R. Godrovii. 

 Brading Marshes. (This is my " i?. Drouetii, with floating leaves," and 

 I still think it belongs to R. Dronelii rather than to R. trichopliyllus. It 

 has no relation to the large form of tricJiophyllus above mentioned, but 

 passes into the typical Z)yo?/e/«.) 13. R. elouf/alus. Sandown Marslics. 

 14. R. truncatus. Sandown Marshes. (These two are the later stage of 

 my "■ peltatus.") 15. R.floribundus. Bembridge; Yaverland ; Pan 

 Common and Sandown Marshes. (This I believe to be the early stage of 

 the plant we call '■'' peltatus" and "truncatus.'") 18. R. radians? 

 Dennetts Marsh, Bembridge. (This is what I call " Juderopliyllus," and 

 Mr. Hiern remarks that it passes into R. Jioribundns, which I have myself 

 collected in a different season, from the same small pond ; each being the 

 only form in one year.) 11. R. Baudotii. Brading Marshes; pond 

 towards Yaverland ; and Nettlestone. R. Baudotii, var. cfpspitosus. 

 Brading Marshes. 34. R. marinus. Brading Marshes. (This is simply 

 R. Baudotii, without floating leaves.) With the addition of R. Lenor- 

 mandi, R. liederafolius, and R. submersus {Jloribundus, without floating 

 leaves), we have, in the Isle of V\'ight, thirteen out of the twenty-two 

 British forms described by Mr. Hiern. 



Omitted. 



Valeriana dioica, L. In Priory Marsh Meadows and in Clatterford 

 Marsh, near Carisbrooke (F. Stratton). 



ZannichelUa puluslris, L. The typical form is abundant in the mill- 

 dam at Lower Knighton, Var. Z. pedicellata. Fries, is plentiful in 

 ditches near the coast. 



In conclusion, it may be well to enumerate here the results which have 

 been obtained of late years both in adding to, and taking from, the list 

 since it was left by Dr. Bromfield and Dr. BcU Salter. These will be 

 best shown under separate heads, as follows : — 



Addenda. 



Full species added. 



Lepigonum rnpicola. 

 Cineraria campestris. 

 Gentiana campestris. 



Bartsia viscosa. 

 Mentha sativa.
