1. RANUNCULACEE. 477 
Ranunculus gramineus, Linn. 
Province 7. Brought from North Wales, by Pritchard; With. 
Error. Cyb.i. 85. The Rev. W. W. Newbould informs me that 
there is a specimen of this plant in Withering’s herbarium, 
received from Pritchard, but without locality stated. 
Ranunculus alpestris, Linn. 
Province 15. Clova mountains; G. Don, in Smith herb. 
Error. Cyb. i. 82. Now generally excluded from our flora. 
Ranunculus (acris) Steveni, E. B. 3. 
Ranunculus (acris) vulgatus, Ditto. 
Ranunculus (acris) rectus, Ditto. 
Provinces. ..? The two first of these segregates are stated to be 
“very common throughout the kingdom”; the third ‘on Loch- 
nagar, Aberdeenshire, and probably in other places.” I have not 
yet clearly understood them apart. Synopsis 19. 
Caltha (palustris) minor, E. B. 8. 
Provinces 12 - 14 15 16. In other provinces also. 
Syn. 26. Cyb. i. 92. A series of intermediate, apparently 
connecting, forms between the typical C. palustris and the widely 
aberrant C. radicans ; some of which were certainly included under 
the latter name by Smith and his cotemporaries, as is shewn by 
the descriptions and the cited localities in ‘English Flora.’ The 
four provinces enumerated above are those in which J have 
gathered specimens, still kept in my herbarium ; and some of those 
specimens seem more nearly allied to the C. radicans now under 
culture in gardens, than to the ordinary wild form of C. palustris, 
as seen in Surrey and elsewhere. ‘“ Guerangerti” is unknown 
to me. 
Caltha (palustris) radicans, Forster. 
Province 15. In a ditch, Carse, Forfarshire, 1790; G. Don. 
Syn. 26. Cyb. i. 92. In English Botany the Editor restricts 
the name of radicans to the garden plants, representatives of the 
ditch plant found by Don, as above indicated. The same name 
has been applied by others to examples of Caltha in various 
counties, even southwards to Dorset; and in this manner the topo- 
graphical distribution is made into a question of nomenclature, or 
a difference between Caltha radicans (limited) and Caltha radicans 
(unlimited). 
Erranthis hyemalis, Salisb. Helleborus, L. 
Provinces -23-5--8-10---14. Sussex to Edinburgh. 
Alien. Cyb.i. 98, iii. 876. Surrey! Notts! Derby! York! 
Delphinium Consolida, Linn. 
Provinces... ? No province certainly known for this. 
Casual? Error? Reported from several provinces by name; 
erroneously so in all or most of them. The plant which is seen
