R. icelandicus (should be R. islandiciis) puhlished by Davis (Minne- 

 sota Botan. Studies, IV, 1900 p. 472, Nalive and cultivated Ranun- 

 culi of North America and segregated genera) upon specimens col- 

 lected by Miss E. Taylor in Seydisfjord in Easl-Iceland (which does 

 not belong to North America!). 



143. R. auricomus L. 



Recorded from the Færoes by Trevelyan and rediscovered by 

 Mr. G. Patursson in 1904. 



Str.: Kirkebo, the lowest ledge of the hill above Kirkebo. 

 t R. ficapja L. 



The Rev. J. Landt mentions this species from Kirkebo (Str.), 

 and Mr. G. Patursson has seent me pretty and large specimens 

 taken April 10., 1904 in full flower. It occurs on the churchyard 

 and around the ruins of the cathedral; without doubt it has been 

 introduced in former times. 



144. R. flammula L. 



My form speciosa (1. c. p. 74) resembles in many respects the 

 Scottish species R.scoticiis Marshall (= R. peliolaris (Lange) Marshall, 

 Journ. Botany, XXX, 1892, p. 289, pi. 328), but ditTers in the more 

 numerous, larger and broader petals a. o. 



145. R. glacialis L. 



146. R. repens L. 



147. R. reptans L. 



I should prefer to take this as a distinct species and not as a 

 form of R. flamnuila, as I have done in my list (1. c. p. 74). 



148. Thalictrum alpinum L. 



Fam. XXXVII. ROSACEAE. 



149. Alchimilla acutidens Buser; Syn. A. Wichiirae Buser. 



150. A. alpina L. 



151. A. faeroénsis (Lange) Buser. 



In J.Dorfler's Herbarium normale, Cent. XLVII, Nr. 4654, Ice- 

 landic specimens of this inleresting species have just (Dec. 1906) 

 been distributed, and the well-known authority in Alchimilla Mr. 

 R. Buser of Geneva has thereof taken the opportunity of giving a 

 rather exhaustive list of citations concerning the form in question. 

 He is of the opinion, that it is a subspecies o( A. splendens Christ, 

 to which it is very near-allied, but its quite peculiar geographical 

 distribution removes it so much from the alpine A. splendens and its 

 different races, that it deserves — after my opinion — specific rank.
