4 RANUXCULACE^. 



II. Cotehele Wood. 

 D. III. AYoodlanJs "Wood ; a slight var. here with sepals purplish on the 

 outside from the first, and before fading of a decided purple. 

 Warleigli Wood, and near Combe Farm, Tamerton FoHot, 

 Maristow, and al)Out Denham Bridge. Walkham Valley, 

 IV. In abundance at Fancy and Bickleigh ; Banks Fl. pt. ii. Still 

 in plenty in woods about Plymbridge, and between that and 

 Bickleigh. Hedge-bank between Marsh Mills and Plympton. 

 Very sparingly by the side of Shalaford Lane, Egg Buckland, 

 1875. 

 VI. Woods of the Errae Valley between Harfoixl and I\7bridge ; also 



at Caton and Ernie Bridge. 

 Although abundant in certain woods, this has a somewhat local 

 distribution. The leaves are sometimes spotted with the Aecidium 

 leucosj^ermum. 



RANUNCULUS, L. 



3. R. circinatus, Sihth. Eigid-leaved Water Crovjfoot. 



Native ; in a stream. Very rare. July, August. 

 D. VI. Plentifully in Shilstone Brook at Gutsford Bridge ; also in this 

 stream below Edmeston Farm, close to the jModbury Road. 

 This differs remarkably from our other aquatic Ranunculi as to the 

 time when it begins to flower. 



First record : Briggs in Jour. Bot. 1874. 



3. R. peltatus, Fries. 



Native ; rivers and streams. Rare, and very local. April to 

 August, or later. 



Var. a. truncatus. 

 D. III. In the stream at Lumber Bridge, between Calluigton and 

 Tavistock. 

 V. Yealm Bridge ; Ravensh. Fl. i. (as aquatilis). In the Yealm, 

 between Lee Mill Bridge and Yeo ; also in a stream close to 

 this river, at Puslinch Bridge. 



Var. c. 2JenicilIatus, Hiern. 

 0. I. Abundant in the stream from the Tiddy that supplies Heskjii 



and Cutcrew ]Mills, near Tideford. 

 D. VI. In Shilstone Brook, at Gutsford, with E. circinatus; also in 

 streams near Strood, Ermington. 

 I have never met with flowers on this variety for examination, hence 

 there exists some slight uncertainty as to its bemg ijenicillatus. It has 

 no floatmg leaves.
