***  Some  plants  that  were  unaccompanied  by  notes 
or  critical  comments  have  been  omitted  from  the  Report. 
Clematis  Vitalba,  L.  Martinshaw  Wood,  Leics., 
v.c.  55,  Sept.,  1905.  I  am  sending  a  few  specimens  of 
Clematis  as  it  has  hitherto  been  recorded  as  naturalized, 
or  an  escape,  for  Leicestershire.  In  the  Martinshaw  it  is 
found  in  great  plenty  on  the  rocks  and  disused  quarries, 
and  appears  to  be  indigenous. — C.  B.  Headly.  This  is 
certainly  the  best  record  we  have ;  but  the  Clematis  is 
almost  exclusively  a  chalk  plant,  and  I  fear  we  cannot 
claim  it  as  indigenous  for  Leics.,  unless  it  should  be  found 
on  the  oolite  on  the  Eastern  border  of  the  County. — W.B. 
Ranunculus  - .  Lowesby,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  May, 
1904.  — W.  Bell.  R.  peltatus,  as  far  as  I  can  judge  from 
the  material. — E.F.L. 
R.  peltatus ,  Schrank.,  var. - .  GallowTay’s  Field, 
Stoney  Stanton,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  May  7,  1904.  The  large 
flowers  and  floating  leaves  covered  the  surface  of  a  large 
pond. — W.  Bell.  I  think  R.  peltatus ,  Schr.  var.  fiori- 
bundus  (Bab.). — A.B.J.  This  seems  to  be  R.  floribundus 
(Bab.) ;  my  sheet  has  no  well  developed  fruit. — E.S.M. 
R.  tripartitus,  DC.  C.atsfield,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14,  1894. 
— Coll.  E.  S.  Salmon.  Comm.  C.  E.  Salmon.  A  very 
pretty  but  puzzling  Batrachian.  Named  “ peltatus , 
var.  truncatus ,”  “ inter medius"  and  “ ololeucos ”  during 
the  past  three  or  four  years  by  well  known 
botanists.  Major  A.  H.  Wolley-Dod  says  that  “the 
almost  free  stipules  remove  it  from  any  peltatus  form,  and 
its  small  flowers  are  against  this,  too.”  R.  ololeucos , 
Lloyd,  must  be  very  similar  to  this  plant,  but  the  fruits 
of  that  species  have  longer  beaks,  and  the  petals  are 
wholly  white.  Prof.  Corbiere  very  kindly  sent  me  a 
specimen.  These  Catsfield  examples  showT  well-developed 
capillary  submerged  leaves,  and  appear  to  be  large-flowered 
R.  tripartitus ,  DC.  The  flowers  were  usually  of  Lenor- 
mandi  size. — C.E.S. 
R.  acris,  L.  var. - .  Near  Leicester,  v.c.  55,  June, 
1905.  — C.  B.  Headly.  Apparently  R.  Borceanus  (Jord.), 
but,  though  the  rootstock  is  well  represented,  there  is  not 
a  single  rootleaf  on  the  sheet  sent  me. — E.F.L.
