Ranunculus acris, L., var. vulgatus ( R . vulgatus, Jord.). “ Primrose Hill, 
Middlesex.” — J. L. Warren. The common form of R. acris about 
London is, according to my experience, R. tomopltyllus , Jord. ; but Mr. 
Warren’s specimens have the elongated horizontal rhizome and the broader 
leaf-segments of R. vulgatus , Jord. 
H. acris, L., var. Borceanus ( R . Borceanus, Jord.). “ Under a rock, in 
damp ground, about 500 feet, Arrochar, Dumbartonshire.” — Fred. 
Townsend. This seems to be a small, slender form of the true R. 
Borceanus. The root-stock is quite vertical, the base of the stems 
glabrous, the petioles thinly clothed with adpressed hairs, and the 
leaves are deeply cut into very narrow segments. The flowers are very 
much smaller than in French specimens of R. Borceanus, being scarcely 
half an inch across, and the whole stem little more than six inches 
high. 
Callha palustris, L., var. Guerangerii. “ Between the paper-mills and 
West Moulsey, Surrey.” — II. C. Watson. A specimen in flower, and one 
in fruit ; the former with very narrow sepals, and the latter with gradually - 
acuminate longly-beaked follicles, are very characteristic examples of this 
form. From the same locality Air. Watson sends equally characteristic 
examples, in flower and fruit, of the typical C. palustris. 
llelleborus viridis, L., Arnside. “ I have seen the Arnside station for 
the llelleborus mentioned in some edition of Gerarde’s £ Herbal,’ but can- 
not put my hands on the reference. The locality was described as £ in 
the lane leading to Arnside Tower.’ This agrees exactly with the fact, 
and the station must be more than 200 years old. I have met with the 
plant on three different years, but never saw it in flower.” — Charles 
Bailey. 
Delphiniujn Consolida , L. “ On rubbish, at Forres Morayshire.” — J. 
Keith. This is the true D. Consolida. The Bev. J. Keith mentions that 
“ it occurred on a mass of cinders and rubbish from a sulphuric acid 
manufactory.” It is thus scarcely worth notice in the Beport, except on 
account of its being the true plant, not the D. Ajacis of Cambridgeshire, 
which is the casual plant of most districts, both iu England and 
Scotland. 
Actcea spicata, L. <c This species grows here, in Liley Wood, about 
five miles from Huddersfield, in considerable abundance, covering an area 
of about 250 to 300 square yards. Though I cannot look upon it as a 
truly native species, particularly as we have not a particle of limestone
