General in all Districts. The double flowered variety is not un- 
common in rustic gardens, and not inelegant.

General in all the districts. This species is acrid, though commonly 
eaten along with other herbage by domestic cattle. It increases 
plentifully by seed and is of slow growth, though of long duration. 
A double variety sometimes seen in gardens is figured by the old 
herbalists.

This plant as yet has only been observed in three of the five dis- 
tricts of Wiltshire. It may not prove to be unfrequent in the 
county, when attention has once been directed to it. The seeds, 
especially towards the margin, are bordered with an irregular 
double or triple row of small sharp prominences, first observed by 
my late friend, Edward Foster, Esq. These clearly distinguish it 
from our other common crowfoots, with which it has been con- 
founded, and likewise prove the “R. parvulus,” of Linneus, to be but 
a starved variety of the same species.
