76 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
published a conveniently arranged Handbook of the Flora of Extra- 
tropical South Australia, which was noticed in this Journal for that 
year (p. 285), and in 1896 issued a Report on the Botany of the 
Horn Expedition. The Victorian Naturalist for October last, to 
which we are indebted for some of the above facts, concludes its 
notice by saying: “ We may with safety assert that his place as an 
all-round naturalist, thoroughly conversant with the flora and 
fauna, living or extinct, of his adopted land, will probably long 
remain unfilled.”’

in the above-named Report, which was issued on Aug. 8, 1901, and 
is edited by Mr. J. Walter White, the distributor for 1900.] 
Ranunculus cambricus Arth. Bennett. Root from Llyn Coron, 
where this year I also found it as forma terrestris growing on the 
margin of the lake. I first found it at Llyn Coron in July, 1875, 
when I sent specimens to Dr. Boswell Syme, who referred it to 
Ri. fluitans var. Bachii. The plant is remarkably unvarying through- 
out the lake, and the peculiar curve cf the leaflets may be noticed 
even in the mud form. No trace of floating leaves appears to be 
produced, and even in the terrestrial form the leaflets show no 
sign of coalescing. The petals are narrow, and so give a starlike 
appearance to the flowers. In the London Catalogue this plant is 
Bennett did not agree with this determination. I have sent a 
series of specimens to my friend Herr Freyn, and I hope a definite 
name may shortly be given to this interesting Batrachian.” — G.
