﻿The Flora of Neiofoundland. 11 



Ranunculus acris, L. Abundant about St. John's, but 

 occurring only on roadsides and in pastures, as though 

 introduced there as elsewhere in America. Nothing was 

 seen to confirm Dr. Gray's supposition that this species 

 might be indigenous in Newfoundland.
