Thalictrum coUmum, Wallr. Rocks near Black Flead, Co. Clare, 

 1 2th July, 1894 — Leg. B. O'Kelly. Vide Report Watson 

 Exchange Club, 1893, p. 2. 



Mr. Bennett pronounces this plant to be T. coUinum, Wallr. 

 7'. Jacquineanum, Koch., and not T. majus or flexuosum as I had 

 named it {vide Report, '93-94, p 2). 



On referring to Mr. Egerton Warburton's little handbook of 

 Synonyms of British Plants, I find it there stated (p. 157) that 

 T. collinum, Wallr. = T. saxatile, DC, but as my specimens of 

 the latter, from the Gogmagog Hills, do not agree with the 

 Clare or Arran plants, I again referred the matter to Mr. Bennett, 

 who, while remarking that it is difficult to say what the Gog- 

 magog plant really is, states that he is quite satisfied that the 

 Clare and Arran plants are not the T. saxatile of Schleicher and 

 Dr. Candoll. In this uncertainty I venture to send out another 

 batch to the Club in the hope that further investigation may 

 tend to throw some light on the subject of the identity of these 

 Thalictra. It will be observed that the specimens differ among 

 themselves considerably, especially as regards the size and 

 cutting of the leaves — H. C. L. 



Besides the above identification with Jacquineanum^ T. collinum, 

 Wallr., appears to be the same as T. flexuosum (Bernh.), Rchb., 

 T. saxatile, Bab., and T. minus, L., v. montanum, Syme.

R. Drouettii, Godr., v. Godronii, Gren. Road ditch, Quarry 

 Bog, Knockdrin, Co. Westmeath, ;5th June, 1894. Specimens 

 of this plant, grown in shallow water, were sent to the Club 

 under this name in 1891, and were accepted as correct {vide 

 Report, 189 J -2, p. 3); but this summer, owing to the excessive 

 rain, the water being consequently much deeper, the plant seems 

 to have developed a different form.- — H. C. Levinge. By the 

 flower, etc., it looks correct. —A. B.
