only  a  heterophyllous  state  of  B.  trichophyllum ”  F.  Schultz. 
I  do  not  know  R.  radians ,  but  should  refer  the  present 
plant  to  R.  heterophyllus  Weber,  type.—  E.S.M.  One  of  the 
many  forms  put  under  R.  heterophyllus.  I  do  not  know 
Revel’s  plant. — J.G. 
R.  peltatus  Schrank.  Pond,  near  Dyes  Farm,  Langley, 
near  Hitchin,  Herts.,  v.c.  20,  May  15,  1912. — J.  E.  Little. 
Yes. — J.G. 
R.  Lenormandi  F.  Schultz.  Ditch,  near  Littlefield 
Common,  Surrey,  v.c.  17,  April  1912. — J.  Comber.  Yes. — 
E.S.M.  &  J.G. 
R.  Lenormandi  x  peltatus  (  =  Hiltoni  H.  &  J.  Groves). 
Abundant  in  a  small  pool  on  border  of  Copthorne  Common, 
E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14,  April  1912. — J.  Comber.  Yes. — 
E.S.M.  &  J.G. 
R.  hederaceus  L.,  var.  omiophyllus  (Ten.)  Floating  in 
about  two  feet  of  water,  Ditch,  near  Mayford,  Surrey, 
v.c.  17,  April,  1912. — J.  Comber.  This  is  the  state  of 
moderately  deep  water,  so  named  in  this  country.  Whether 
it  is  really  the  plant  of  Tenore  remains  to  be  seen  ;  that  is 
placed  by  Nyman  as  a  variety  of  Batrachium  coenosum 
(Guss.)  Nyman,  which  he  makes  a  sub-species  of  B. 
hederaceum  S.  F.  Gray.  The  British  ‘  omiophyllus  ’  has 
no  obvious  claims  to  such  a  rank. — E.S.M.  The  floating 
state  of  R.  hederaceus  which  goes  under  this  name. — J.G. 
R.  Lingua  L.  (Early  submerged  leaves).  Swamp, 
Kenn,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  April  13,  1912.  These  large 
leaves  grow  so  early  in  the  season  and  decay  so  long  before 
the  plant  comes  into  flower  that  they  are  not  often 
gathered.  A  few  examples,  therefore,  may  be  acceptable. 
—Ida  M.  Roper.  Very  characteristic ;  seldom  seen  in 
herbaria,  as  they  wither  by  the  time  of  flowering. — E.S.M. 
R.  Ficaria  L.,  var.  incumbens  F.  Schultz.  Lane, 
Barrow  Gurney,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  March  25,  1912.  To 
me  there  seems  to  be  very  little  in  this  variety.—  Ida  M. 
Roper.  Rouy  &  Foucaud  consider  this  a  “  forma,”  and  its 
status  cannot  be  higher,  I  think — C.E.S.  This  may  pass, 
though  not  extreme ;  some  of  the  leaves  have  divergent 
bases. — E.S.M.
