against their identification as Moorci is found in the styles, 
which are certainly those of inundatum. The record must 
remain doubtful ; on the whole I rather incline at present 
to put the gathering to inundatum, but hope llie plant 
may be found again. 
Scotland. 
In Herb. Boswell-Syme there is a specimen from Loch of 
Drum, Kincardine, 1850, three to eight inches high, which 
belongs to the inundatum-Moorci series of plants. The 
segments of leaflets are not quite capillary ; fruit pedicel is 
longer than usual in inundatum, and so is the stvle. I am 
not confident, but on the whole think that it is inundatum 
and not Moorei. 
In Herb. C. Bailey is a plant from Castle Donington, on 
the Trent, coll. July, 1885, with the segments of the sub- 
merged leaves not capillary ; and I have seen the same thing 
in a specimen from near Bristol. These and the like must 
be kept imder H. inundatum.
