REPORT FOR 1914. 



Ill 



Thalictrum minus L., var. montanum. Dry bank, sandy soil, 

 Tottington, v.-c. 28, July 23, 1914. — F. Robinson. " So I should name 

 it." — E. S. Marshall. 



Thalictrum majus Crantz. East Kennack Valley, June 19, 1914, 

 and near Penhale, June 18 and August 12, 1914, both in the Lizard 

 peninsula. There can be no doubt, I think, that this plant is native 

 in the Lizard district, though it seems strange that it should be there. 

 I think the plant is correctly named, though, as far as I know, it has 

 - never been determined by any competent authority. Is T. majus 

 Crantz, of the Lond. Cat.^ ed. x., and Druce's List = T. majus Sm. of 

 Bab. Man., ed. ix., and = T. majus Jacq. mentioned by Mr Salmon in 

 last year's Report 1 The Penhale locality is a new one. Some of the 

 plants in both places were more than four feet high. I am much 

 indebted to Mr E. Thurston, CLE., for this and other Lizard plants. 

 Coll. E. Thurston ; comm. C. C. Vigurs. " I prefer to call this 

 T. collinum Wallr." — E. P. Linton. " I have seen a similar plant on 

 the rocky coast near Mullion. Not T. majus. I should refer it to 

 T. mo7itanumWal\r.'' — E.S.Marshall. " Not a majus form, I should 

 say. Is it not dunense ? " — C. E. Salmon. 



Thalictrum alpinum L. In abundance on what is termed the 

 " Sugar-Loaf Limestone," Cronkley Fell, Teesdale, v.-c. 65, June 9, 

 1914. Altitude 2000 ft.- J. Cryer. 



Myosurus minimus L. Arable land near Madresfield, Great 

 Malvern, v.-c. 37, May 7, 1914. — Coll. R. P. Towndrow ; comm. C. 

 Waterfall. 



Ranuncidus hulhosus L. Golf Links, Askam, v.-c. 69 b, June 15, 

 1914. I think that this could not be anything but spontaneous. I 

 thought the plant had "flowered itself to death," but it has recovered. 

 — D. LuMB. " This seems to be the " Ranunculus dulcis multiplex, 

 Double wilde Crow-foot" figured in Johjison's Gerard, 957 (1633), 

 where one reads that it "hath of late beene brought out of Lancashire 

 unto our London gardens, by a curious gentleman in the searching 

 forth of simples, Mr Thomas Hesketh, who found it growing wilde in 

 the towne fields of a smal village called Hesketh, not farre from 

 Latham in Lancashire." — C. E. Salmon. " A form with double 

 flowers ; new to me." — E. S. Marshall. " Good examples of the 

 ^fiore pleno ' form." — G. C. Druce. 



Ranunculus Flammula L., f. minima Ar. Benn. Slacks in sand- 

 hills, Preshfield, v.-c. 59, July 5, 1914.— W. G. Travis. "I have 

 much the same thing from Holburn Head, Caithness. Only a state 

 due to local conditions." — E. S. Marshall. "^. Flammula L." — 

 G. C. Druce.
