Ranunculus sardous Crantz. Wyke, Weymouth, v.-c. 9, July 14, 

 1914. Frequent round Weymouth, 1 believe; but this is a "new 

 locality " for the species. The flowers are much smaller than those of 

 R. repens L., but of just about the same bright polished yellow. At 

 the Lizard, the flowers I gathered there were of a lighter lemon- 

 yellow.— H. J. RiDDELSDELL. 



Ranunculus parviflorus L. Hedge bank, Upper Chase Road, 

 Malvern, v. c. 37, May 7, 1914. — C. Waterfall. "Yes, a very hairy 

 form."— G. C. Druce. 



Ranunculus 1 [Ref. No. 2791.] Near Cowbit, Lincolnshire, 



July 1912.— G. C. Druce. " R. BaudotiV'—J. Groves. " Cf. con- 



fuSUS^ W. P. HiERN. 



Ranunculus heterophyllus Weber. Pool on roadside between Great 

 Malvern and Madresfield, v.-c 37, May 2, 1914. — C. Waterfall. 

 "Yes. Carpels practically glabrous." — J. Groves. "Is tr%p)hyllusy 



— W. P. HiERN. 



Ranunculus heterophyllus Bab. [Ref. No. 41.] Stagnant water, 

 Watton, v.-c. 28, May 14, 1914. — F. Robinson. R. heterophyllus 

 Weber. Carpels with numerous strong bristles." — J. Groves. " Is 

 radians^ — W. P. Hiern. 



Ranunculus heterophyllus Weber, var. triphyllus Wallr. Portbury 

 marshes, N. Somerset, May 29. 1914. — J. W. White. "Is radians.'' 

 — W. P. HiERN. " R. heterophyllus. The carpels are bristly, whereas 

 those of R. triphyllus Wallr. are described as ' glaberrimis nitidis.' " 

 — J. Groves. 



Ranunculus heterophyllus Weber, var. suhmersus Hiern. Marsh 

 ditch, Portbury, N. Somerset, June 3, 1902. — J. W. White. "Is 

 trichophyllus.'" — W. P. Hiern. "I am doubtful about this. It has 

 more rigid leaves than is usual in R. heterophyllus suhmersus. The 

 entirely undeveloped heads of carpels suggest hybridity. I do not think 

 we can properly cite Hiern as the au thority for var. suhmersus of R. 

 heterophyllus., as in his paper on the group he treated the whole genus 

 Batrachium as one species. Moreover, his form No. 30 suhmersus was 

 not ranged under the head of R. heterophyllus.'' — J. Groves. 



Ranuncidus peltatus Schrank, var. truncatus (Hiern). Birkdault, 

 v.-c. 69b, June 13, 1914. This grows in the same ditch as the form 

 distributed last year [Ref. No. 380], and seems intermediate between 

 it and var. truncatus. — W. H. Pears all. " ^. truncatus."—^. P. 

 Hiern. " Yes, I suppose this curious plant must be so labelled, but I 

 have never seen truncatus with similar leaves." — J. Groves.
