(3). E. Esula L. Downs at Lewes, June, 1915, R. S. 
Standen. Is E. virgata W. and K. [Report 1915, 553]. 
Dr. Turrill remarked that “ it is always desirable, and 
sometimes essential, to have fruiting as well as flowering 
material of critical Spurges.” 
45th Report, 1928, p. 494. 
Carex contiguaxdivulsa % [679]. I have now grown this 
Carex in my garden, 1926-1930, and wish to withdraw the 
above suggested name in favour of C. divisa Stokes. Will 
members kindly make the correction ? — J. E. Little. 
. Correction to the Last Report. 
P. 35, line 2. — For Rice read vice, and omit comma after 
(Stokes). 
Ranunculus [radians Revel]. Abridge, Essex, v.c. 18, 
June 1, 1930 [Ref. B 17]. This was growing in a wayside 
pond which, judging by the presence of numerous caddis 
cases, was well aerated. — J. E. Lousley. 
These admirably presented specimens bear a certain 
superficial resemblance to R. radians, but are not nearly 
symmetrical enough for that species. The submerged leaves 
are longly petiolate, much too large and irregularly diffuse, 
and by no means regularly disposed. The floating leaves 
are those of R. heterophyllus and the plant is best under its 
var. trifidus Pears. — W. H. Pearsall. I have not seen Revel’s 
plant, but take it this is correct. — J. Groves. 
Ranunculus heterophyllus Weber, var. submersus Bab. A 
very muddy “ pool,” dried up in mid-summer, Mitcham 
Common, Surrey. May 24, 1930. [Ref. B 13]. These flowers 
are considerably smaller than I should have expected to find 
in any form of heterophyllus. In most cases submerged leaves 
only are present, but one or two sheets show floating leaves 
which are similar to those of heterophyllus. I should consider 
the plant an ecological state attributable to the liquid mud in 
which it was growing. At mid-summer it was reduced to a 
small plant, about an inch high, with 2-3 leaves with rigid
