2 CATALOGUE OF PLANTS. Na 
Hepatica, Dill. (Liver-leaf—Liverwort. ) 
H. acutiloba, DC. Montclair. (Wm. Churchhill.) 
H. triloba, Chaix. Flowers purple ; scapes hairy ; calyx consists of = 
three parts—ovate, obtuse, silky, hairy—separated from the petals. 
Flower varying from deep purple to a dingy white. March to May. I 
have collected this plant in the woods near Princeton, in February, in 
full flower. The leaves vary in form from three to four, rarely five, 
distinct rounded lobes to kidney shape ; sometimes cordate, the early 
leaves covered with silky hairs, especially when the plant is found on 
dry hill-sides. Bears cultivation well. 
Thalictrum, Tourn. (Meadow-Rue.) 
T. anemonoides, Michx. (Rue-Jeaved anemone.) Stem, six to eight 
inches high ; root-leaves on petioles nearly or quite the length of the 
stem ; twice three divided ; stem-leaves in a whorl] just below the flowers, 
and ternate ; parts rounded and heart-shaped at the base. Flowers white, 
in a cluster at the summit of the stem. Found on southern exposures of 
dry, wooded hill-sides, usually near trees or stumps, common. 
T. dioicum, L. Princeton, not common, Hud. (7. @. B.), frequent in 
Sussex. (Auwstin.) 
T. purpurascens. Bergen Co. (Auzstin.) 
Var. ceriferum, common in Bergen Co. (Austin.) 
T. Cornuti, L. Meadows and along streams, throughout. 
~~ 
Ranunculus, L. (Crowfoot—Buttercup.) 
R. divaricatus, Schrank. Pquan and Shark rivers, rare. (Knteskern.) 
R. aquatilis, L. 
Var. trichophyllus, Chaix, Andover. (Porter.) 
R. multifidus, Pursh. West Hackensack, Saddle river. ( Woolson.) 
(Leggett.) Closter. (Austin.) 
R. alismefolius, Geyer. This species is so different from the general 
character of the genus that it needs a passing notice. The young botan- 
ist, after inspecting R. repens, which appears among the early spring 
flowers, would not suspect this to be Ranunculus. I have never found 
it in any place except the swamp near Penn’s Neck, about two miles east 
of Princeton. It delights_in damp places, frequently growing in the 
water, has a long stem, from two to three feet in extent, which is pros- 
trate unless held up by surrounding plants. The leaf is lance-shaped ; 
flowers bright yellow, smaller than R. repens. Woodbridge. ( Woolson.) 
Weehawken. (7. C. B.) Common north. (Avstin.) 
R. Flammula, L. 
Var. reptans, I have never seen growing in the State. I put itdown 
on the authority of Dr. Torrey. Prof. Porter reports it as growing along 
the Delaware, above Phillipsburg. 
R. pusillus, Poir. Princeton, Dr. Torrey. Mor. (Austin.)
