VOLUME I. 
(Page 3.) Clematis blanda and C. gentianoides are referred by Dr. Mueller to C. coriacea, DC., in 
which Mr. Archer agrees. 
(Page 4.) Clematis Zinearifolia, Steud. : 
I have referred this doubtfully to C. microphylla, DC. Dr. Mueller confirms this, and the older name of 
De Candolle should therefore be adopted. 
(Page 7.) Ranunculus scapigerus, Hook., is referred by Mueller to R. plebejus, Br., an Australian 
and New Zealand plant. 
(Pages 8 and 9.) Ranunculus inundatus, Br., and R. glabrifolius, Br., are both referred by Mueller 
to the New Zealand R. rivularis, Banks et Sol. Archer considers that R. cuneatus, Hook., is a variety of 
nanus, Hook., and R. inconspicuus, Hook. fil., of R. glabrifolius, Hook. 
(Page 10.) Ranunculus Pumilio, Br., is considered by Mueller and Archer to be a variety of 
R. sessiliflorus, Br., and no doubt rightly.

Gen. IV. CALTHA, I. 
Sepala 5, petaloidea, colorata. Petala 0. Stamina numerosa, rarius definita. Ovaria 5-10, multi- 
ovulata.—Herbee ; foliis radicalibus, scarioso-stipulatis ; pedunculis 1-fforis. 
A genus of the north and south temperate and colder zones; more rare on the mountains of intervening 
latitudes. Several species are found in Fuegia, and one on the mountains of New Zealand, which so closely resembles 
the Tasmanian species that I doubt their proving distinct.—Caltha is readily distinguished as a genus by its 5-8- 
petaloid imbricating sepals, absence of petals or glands, and many-seeded carpels. (Name from xaAafos, a cup, in 
allusion to the form of the flower of the European species.) 
1. Caltha ¿introloda (Muell. Fragm. Phyt. Aust.); parvula, foliis longe petiolatis late oblongis inte- 
gerrimis v. obtuse sinuatis apice obtusis emarginatisve, appendicibus basi sursum inflexis laminee adnatis, 
scapo brevi crasso, sepalis 5—8 linearibus, staminibus 10, carpellis sub-7 (-5-9) 3-5-spermis. 
Has. Western Mountains, Archer. 
Distr. Alps of Victoria, Mueller. 
A small, tufted, fleshy or thick subcoriaceous herb. Rhizome, with thick fibres, descending. Leaves all springing 
from the crown of the rhizome, 2-3 inches long, spreading; petioles thick, with broad membranaceous sheathing 
stipules; lamina coriaceous, 4 inch long; inflexed lobes at the base sometimes wanting in Victoria specimens 
according to Mueller, sometimes with a lobule at their base externally. Scape very short, sessile among the leaves,
