RANUNCULACEJE. O 



6. R. Drouetii, Schnltz. 



Kative ; in a stream and a large pool. Very rare. April to July, 

 or later. 

 D. IV. Near Longbridge, 1836; Hore ; Herb. Ply. hist. {a& aquatilis). 

 Stream at Shalaford, Egg Buckland, in plenty. 



[In a large pool in a marsh between Longbridge and the 



Shalaford stream, 1863 ; destroyed a few years subsequently by 



the pool being filled up. Doubtless ]Mr. Hore's specimen came 



from one of the two stations named. ] 



This plant is not tj^Dical Drouetii, but ]\Ir. Hiern, a great authority on 



the water Ranunculi, and other leading botanists, consider it that species. 



The flowers are remarkably large for Drouetii. I named it trichopliyllus 



in Jour. Bot. i. 376. 



6. E». Baudotii, Godron. 



h. coiifusus. 



Native ; in pools close to the coast. Very rare, and extremely 

 local. April to July, or later, 

 c. I. In pools on the left of the Seaton estuary, close to the coast 

 sands ; growhig with ZannicheUia pedicillata. 

 Some of the plants have their leaves much blotched and spotted with 

 tAvo shades of dull purple. 



7. R. Lenormandi, F. Schidtz. Lenormand's Water Crowfoot. 



Native ; in moorland bogs, and in and by streams and pools in 

 the wooded and less cultivated tracts. Locally common. jNIarch 

 to September, 

 c. I. Viverdon DoAvn. Pool in the Notter Valley, between Pillaton and 



Clapper Bridge ; and elsewhere in that neighbourhood.

 Common Wood, Egg Buckland. Lovaton. 

 V. Dartmoor ; Keys, ibid. Crownhill DoAvn. 

 VI. Ivybridge. Erme Valley ; and Blackpool, beloAv the Western 



Beacon, Dartmoor. 

 This is quite general m the wet peaty spots and shallow pools of the 

 elevated moorland tracts. It begins to flower much earlier than is stated 

 by some leading British authorities. On Dartmoor its starry floAvers peep 

 forth in sprmg amid surrounding desolation.
