RANUNCULACE^. 7 



In considerable quantity in woods about the Yealm, between 



Yealm and Puslinch Bridges. 

 VI. Rather plentifully on a bank in a lane above Cling Mill, near 



Kingston. 

 A sparsely distributed species. 

 First record : Goidding and Harper, 1846. 



12. R. acris, L. Meadow Croicfoot ; ' Golden Cup.'' 



Native ; in meadows, marshes, and damp pastures. Very com- 

 mon. May to November. Area general. 

 In the turf of some garden plots in the town, as well as in the 

 pastures of the moorlands. 



13. R. repens, L. Creeping Crowfoot; ^Golden Ciq-).'' 



Native ; in waste spots, about ditches, and as a weed in cultivated 

 ground. Very common. April to September. Area general. 

 This, like R. acris, occurs in gardens in the town, and also far out 

 on Dartmoor. Some years ago I found a form with semi-double flowers 

 near Roborough village ; and the common garden plant with very 

 double ones in a waste spot at Antony Passage, St. Stephens, here 

 evidently derived from some garden. 



14. H. bulbosus, i. Bulbous Crowfoot; ^Golden Cup.^ 



Native ; in pastures, meadoAvs, and on banks. Very common. 

 April to June. Area general. 

 In certain spots a more abundant species than either acris or repeiis, 

 though on the whole probably less common than they. On the open 

 commons only sparingly seen, and generally near enclosures. The flowers 

 of this plant, of the two preceding species, and of E. Ficaria, are 

 indiscriminately called ' Golden Cups ' by the country children. 



15. R. hirsutus, Curt. Hairy Crowfoot. 



Native ; in some spots Colonist or Casual. In damp waste spots, 

 and as a weed in cultivated land. Rare. May to August. 

 c. I. JVIarsh at the head of Denabole Lake. Marsh, and damp waste 

 spots at Tideford. 

 II. Fields between Torpoint and St, Johns, 1860 ; Briggs in Phyt. 

 V. N. S, 368. One plant in a field in same locality ; a few in 

 a damp waste spot near Mendinnick ; in plenty in a clayey 

 field near the latter place, July, 1879. Single plant in a corn- 

 field between Torpomt and Antony, 1879. One near Anderton, 

 1862. Sparingly in a damp spot in a field between Ince worth 

 and Southdown, 1879. Plentifully in a grass field between 

 Moditonliam and Kingsmill, 1879.
