Ranunculus, sp. ? Saddington, Leicester, 6th June, 

 1903- — W. Bell. Material insufficient to name, probably 

 a form of R. peltatus. — A. B. 



R, peltatus, var. Middlesex, 20th May, 1903. —

R. flammula, L. var. reptans, Lej. and Court. (1828- 

 1831). Llanberis, 19th September, 1903. — S. H. Bickham. 

 I do not know this variety. For me, this is simply a 

 rooting lake-side state, much nearer to the type than var. 

 radicans, Nolte. — E.S.M. Only a var. of R. flammula, 

 L. ; nothing, of course, to do with R. reptans, L., found in 

 Scotland and the Lake country (though I am not sure 

 that the latter is the true plant). With regard to the 

 plant that Syme in E.B. ed. 3 calls var. pseudo -reptans, 

 no general accord amongst authors as to the name it 

 should bear is to be found. I have not been able to 

 trace it back further than Wallroth's Sched. Critic, 

 p. 289 (1822), where he mentions this plant under the 

 name of tenuifolius. Ascherson and Graebner, Fl. Flachl. 

 P- 336, (1899) refer the name tenuifolius to Nolte Nov., 

 but no such name occurs in the 1828 ed. Prahl in 

 Fl. Schl. Holstein (1890) adopts the name var. gracilis, 

 Meyer, giving as a synonym radicans, Nolte. — A.B. 



Nasturtium officinale, R. Br. var. siifolium, Reichb. 

 Nine Wells, Cambs., October, 1903. — A. Hosking. 

 Correct, I think, though often much larger. Are the 

 so-called vars. siifolium and microphyllum really more than
