identical location from which Fendler obtained his plant, published by Dr. 
Gray in Pl. Fendl. p. 4, as R. tridentatus, H. B. K., and this I take to be 
the same form as that above alluded to from San Luis Valley. In addition 
to the difference noted by Dr. Gray in Pl. Fendl., I find the beaks of the 
achenia are in my specimens more tapering than in typical R. Cymbalaria. 
Collected also in California, Eastern Arizona, ‘and Utah. (Colorado. 101.) 
Ranuncu.us AnpEersoni, Gray.—Belmont, Nev. (Plate i, vol. v, King’s

Ranuncuus Aaponevs, Gray. (Enumeration of Plants, Parry, Hall, and 
Harbour. )—‘ Low, sparsely villous, becoming with age glabrous ; root fasci- 
culately fibrous; branching from base, with one to three leaves above, either 
erect, simple, and one-flowered, or fleshy, decumbent, and with two or 
more flowers; leaves twice pedately parted, segments narrowly linear, peti- 
oles at base with dilated scarious margins ; peduncle short; corolla golden- 
yellow; conspicuous petals flabelliform, twice as long as the hairy, oval 
sepals; scale at base adnate, small.”* Usually a strictly alpine plant. My 
specimens, however, were obtained as low as 6,000 feet above the sea-level. 
RaNnuncuLus GLABERRIMUS, Hook. (Flor. Bor.-Am. tab. v.)—Leaves 
rather lanceolate than ovate. 
Ranuxcuus AFrinis, R. Br. var. carpiopHyLius, Gray. R. cardi- 
ophyllus, Hook. (FI. Bor.-Am. tab. v.)—Colorado, at an elevation of 8,000 
to 9,000 feet. (121 and170.) Willow Springs, Ariz., at 7,202 feet altitude. 
Also collected by Dr. Loew in Western New Mexico. 
RANUNCULUS SCELERATUS, L.—Cauline leaves, with a manifest tendency 
to division of the lobes; otherwise like an Eastern form. Colorado. (99, 
110, 111, 116.) 
Ranuncutus Pursuu, Richardson—Among my specimens are a large 
number with petals trifid and the scales distinctly three-lobed. Twin 
Lakes, Colo, at an elevation of 9,500 feet. (117.) © 
RANUNCULUS HYPERBOREUS, Rottb., var. narans, C. A. Meyer.—Stem 
weak, diffusely branched, glabrous, rooting from the nodes, creeping ; leaves 
petioled, palmately 3-5-cleft, 3-5” wide, lobes ovate, obtuse, petioles 
6-12” ; peduncles naked, 6-12”, often reflexed; sepals yellow, ovate, or 
* When, as frequently occurs, I have been seats to quote a specific description, it is from some 
imperfection in my own specimens.
