Ranunculus reptans L. [Ref. No. 360. J Gravelly N. shore of 

 Ullswater, Cumberland, Sept. 3, 1913. — S. H. Bickham. "Yes, true 

 reptans with the slender arched internodes and hooked styles. Rouy 

 and Foucaud (^Fl. Fr.) class this as a mere variety of Flammula on a 

 par with their other five ' leaf variation ' forms. It deserves a better 

 fate." — C. E. Salmon. " As Nyman does not include France for R. 

 reptans^ it may be that Rouy's plant is not identical with our northern 

 plant which is at least sub- specifically distinct from Flammula.''^ — 

 G. C. Druce. 



Ranunculus fiuitans Lam. % [Ref. No. 9677.] In the Cher well, 

 near Gosford Bridge, Oxford, 1913.— G. C. Druce. "Not R. 

 fluitavs I should say ; the leaf-segments are too thin and too 

 numerous ; the stamens of R. fluitans, moreover, are usually, though 

 not always, quite short. I think this must be a large state of the 

 plant which Mr Hiern has referred to R. sphaerospermus Boiss. 

 (fe Blanche, and which has characteristically large flowers, long 

 peduncles, produces no floating leaves even in still water, and has the 

 submersed leaves much divided, with the segments thin and short so 

 as to form dense tufts." — J. Groves. 



Ranunculus tricJiophyllus Chaix, 1 var. fluitans Gr. & Godr. 

 Lonojlands, Dalton, v.-c. 69, May 30, 1913. This was a verj^ pale- 

 coloured plant when growing. — D. Lumb. " I should say R. 

 Drouetii.^^ — J. Groves. "I think a weak form of the type." — G. C. 

 Druce. " Why named var. fluitans ; that is the ordinary form of 

 the plant, being merely separated by Grenier and Godron to exclude 

 the terrestrial form. More lax than usual trichopliyllusr — A. Bennett. 



Ranunculus Drouetii F. Schultz. [Ref. No. 113.] Ditch, Rossie 

 Moor, Forfar, v.-c. 90, Aug. 3, 1913. — R. and M. Corstorphine. 

 "Yes." — J. Groves and G. C. Druce. 



Ranunculus heterophyllus Weber, var. triphyllus Hiern. Abun- 

 dant in several ponds near Dalton-in-Furness, May 24, 1913. Not 

 previously recorded for 69 b. — W. H. Pearsall. " Yes." — J. Groves 

 and A. Bennett. 



Ranunculus heterophyllus Weber. [Ref. No. 192.] Pond, Little 

 Ley, N. Essex, v.-c. 19, May 7, 1912.— G. C. Brown. "Yes, the 

 form with glabrescent carpels and the floating leaves very deeply cut 

 with wedge-shaped segments which I understand to come under f. 12, 

 triphyllus Hiern." — J. Groves. 



Ranunculus heterophyllus Weber. [Ref. No. 110.] Quarry pool, 

 Dubton, Auldbar, Forfar, Aug. 21, 1913. — R. and M. Corstorphine, 

 " Yes." — J, Groves and G. C. Druce.
