380 CHARLES CARDALE BABINGTON. [1877 



To 



Cambridge, June 28, 1877. 



My dear Sir, — I send my notes on the interesting parcel from 



the Exchange Club. I have only recently had time to go carefully 



over the specimens, and send my notes upon them for you to use as 



you see fit. — Believe me to be, yours truly, Charles C. Babington. 



Botanical Exchange Club, 1877. 



Hubus incurvatus. Anthony, Port Wrinkle. I doubt the Trematon and 

 Roborough plants. 



R. pallidus is, I think, a form of JR. Koehleri a. 



R. pallidus from a lane near Cutmere Bridge, St. Germans, I believe to 

 be R. Lejeunii. 



R. Borreri of Warren, I think with you is R. macrophyllus ; but also 

 that your Hay Lane plants ai"e likewise R. macrophyllus. I cannot see 

 their relationship with R. Lindleianus. 



R. pyramidalis. I do not see that this is " off the type," for I have seen 

 plenty like it in North Wales. It is very interesting to find that the plant is 

 so abundant near Plymouth. 



R. Guntheri. Certainly this is not my Guntheri, nor do 1 think that it 

 can be that of Genevier. It is very like the R. atro-rubens (of Wirtgen) of" 

 Bloxam, which I suppose is also the R. exsecatus of Miiller. 



Ranunculus Jloribundus from Brockenhurst I think is peltatus, uoijlori- 

 bundus. 



R. Baudotii. The Duddingston Loch plant is this, as Mr. Hi em thinks.. 

 The Scilly plant I think is also Baudotii. 



R. pseudo Jluitans. I hardly think that this is the penicillatus. It seems 

 to me to be only a form of heterophyllus. 



R. radians. Both of Mr. Harb. Lewis' plants I believe to be forms of 

 heterophyllus, not radians. I say the same of Mr, Baker's two plants from 

 Warwick. 



R. triphyllos from Mitcham. Mr. Groves. If this is indeed the triphyllos 

 of Hiern, his idea of it is very different from mine; I call it heterophyllus, 

 and in a not uncommon form. No doubt Mr. Warren's plant is the same. 



R. salsuginosus. Probably correct according to Hiern's nomenclature, 

 but a state of confusus. 



R. Bachii. Mr. Brotherton. Is R. confusus. 



R. elongatus. Mr. Brotherton. Is, I think, peltatus. 



R. radians of Brotherton. I agree with Dr. Boswell and say Godronii.. 

 I am sorry to find that I have made so much alteration in the above names. 

 I cannot at all understand " London Catalogue," edition 7, in this subgenus. 



Fumaria Boraei, intermediate of Brotherton. Are they not really 

 pallidiflora a 1 



F. Boraei from Yetholm I am inclined to think is confusa, but have some 

 little doubt. 



F. Boraei from Mr. Burton I agree with you is muralis. 



F. pallidiflora from Hutmacher I also agree is officinalis. 



Lotus tenuis from Harrogate I doubt. It is generally a long straggling 

 plant, not at all like this. 



Tordylium maximum. May it not have been introduced lately at Tilbury ,^ 

 where manj' things are loaded for conveyance by the railway ? 



Selosciadium Moorei. What is meant by this ? It seems to me to be 

 only S. inundaium on mud, not in water. 



Arctium nemorosum. Both right.
