ORDER RANUNCULACE^. 1 9 



15. Ranunculus Flammula, L. (Lesser Spearwort). Native. 

 British type. Range 1-3. Common in swampy places and 

 about the lakes and tarns ; ascending to 700 yards on 

 Helvellyn, and to the highest springs of High Street and 

 Coniston Old Man. Dr. Boswell, in the Exchange Club 

 Report for 1880, p. 28, identifies a plant gathered by Mr. 

 Bolton King on the stony shore of Ullswater with the Loch 

 Leven R. reptans. Long ago Woodward recorded it from 

 Coniston Water, but specimens gathered there lately by Mr. 

 A. G. More were the var. pseudo-reptans ; and I have also 

 notes of this var. from Rydal Lake (J. C. Melvill), Ennerdale 

 Lake (Whitehaven Cat.), Bassenthwaite Lake from Peelwyke 

 downwards (W. Hodgson), and Urswick Tarn (Miss 

 Hodgson).

 English type. Range 1. Deep ditches and shores of some 

 of the tarns. Rare.
