REPORT FOR 1912. 



225 



Thalictrum majus, Crantz. Shores of Loch Rannoch, Perth, Aug. 

 1912. — G. C. Druce. "Correct, I believe; fohage large, peduncles 

 up to two inches long." — E. S. Marshall. 



Myosurus minimus, L. Gravelly fields, St Ippollitts, near Hitchin, 

 Herts, April and May 1912. — J. E. Little. 



Ranunculus flab ellatus, Desf., var. europaeus, Nyman. Origin, St 

 Aubin's, Jersey; cult., Ledbury, May 31, 1912. — S. H. Bickham. 

 " Beautiful specimens." — J. Cryer. 



Ranunculus acris, L. Seedlings. Garden, Wembley, in stiff clay 

 soil, v.-c. 21, May 12, 1912.— A. B. Jackson. 



Ranunculus i^ejjtans, L. Damp, sandy, and gravelly margins of 

 Loch Leven, Kinross. Here it varied considerably in size, but could 

 be distinguished from R. Flammula, which grew with it, by its smaller 

 flowers of a different tint of yellow, and usually by its arcuate creep- 

 ing growth. In one case either a hybrid with Flammula or a condi- 

 tion caused by growing among herbage was observed, Aug. 1912. — 

 G. C. Druce. 



Ranunculus ophioglossifolius, Vill. Near Cheltenham in some 

 quantity over a very limited area. Kindly shown to me by Mr J. 

 Fletcher and Mr Montgomery. It was known in this vicinity nearly 

 50 years ago The specimens are a Httle over as I wanted to obtain 

 it in fruit. The plant is quite distinct from R. Flammula, not only 

 by the achenes being granulate, but by the smaller flowers, and larger 

 leaves of a different outline and texture. — G. C. Druce. " The 

 tubercled carpels are well shown in my specimens ; they are very 

 acceptable." — E. S. Marshall. 



Ranunculus ophioglossifolius, Vill. Near Cheltenham, v.-c. 33, 

 June 1912. See Journ. Bot. 1912, p. 316. In good quantity over a 

 very limited area. Bears fruit generously. It is remarkable that it 

 does not spread to other localities. It has been known in this spot 

 for over 20 years. Dries a bad colour. The light green of this species 

 easily distinguishes it from R. Flammula, though I saw one specimen 

 as dark as the latter species. — H. J. Biddelsdell "Fine speci- 

 mens." — J. Cryer. 



Ranunculus trichophyllus, Chsiix, forma. [Ref. No. 11.] Pond, 

 Peldon, Essex N., May 14, 1912. This may, I think, safely be re- 

 ferred to R. trichophyllus, though luxuriant. It much resembles the 

 smaller form from Langenhoe marshes, and like it grows in company 

 with R. heterophyllus. — G. C. Brown. "Leaves slender, collapsing ;
