Plants of var. cae.rulea DC. in my herbarium gathered near 
Tonbridge, Kent, in 1879 ( Gard . Chron. Apr. 23, 1881, 539) 
still retain distinct evidence of the strong blue colour. Var. 
'purpurea DC. gathered in 1924 and 1927 at Lurgashall, 
W. Sussex, (J. E. L.) retains its rose-purple colour. Var. 
purpurea DC. Lansdowne, W. Glos,. 1923, (H. S. Thompson) 
lost it in three out of four flowers. — J. E. Little. 
Ranunculus trichophyllus Chaix var. radians (Revel). Old 
Quarry Pool, Wickwar, W. Gloster, May 24 and 26, 1931.— 
J. W. White. Extremely beautiful examples of this plant. 
— W. H. Pearsall. 
Ranunculus trichophyllus Chaix var. radians (Revel), forma 
Godronii (Gren.). Pond in a field near Stanton Wick, N. 
Somerset, May 17, 1929. — J. W. White. Excellent specimens 
of Grenier’s plant. See Report, 1929-30, p. 12. — W. H. 
Pearsall. 
Ranunculus peltatus Schrank. Wurple Pool, Barrow 
Gurney, N. Somerset, May 4, 1928. — J. W. White. A peculiar 
form of this species having leaves much smaller than usual, 
and nearly all of them with + imbricate lobes. The flowers, 
submerged leaves and carpels are those of typical peltatus, 
but the lower fruiting peduncles are sometimes 8, or even 10, 
cm. in length. Rather too robust for Hiern’s f. elongatus . — 
W. H. Pearsall. 
Ranunculus Baudotii Godr. Saltings at Littleton- on - 
Severn, W. Glos., May 9, 1928. — J. W. White. Yes. — W. H. 
Pearsall. 
Ranunculus Baudotii Godr. f. confusus (Godr.). Saline 
ditch near Dinas Dindlle, Carnarvonshire. [Ref. C22]. 12 
June, 1931. — J. E. Lousley. A slender form of R. Baudotii 
which would come under Godron’s R. confusus. The fruiting 
peduncles are unusually arcuate, but, on the other hand the 
plant possesses the “ Carpelles petits, nombreux, amincis au 
sommet, a bee assez long,” which are less often seen in British 
than in French examples. — W. H. Pearsall. 
Ranunculus Flarnmida L. var. radicans Nolte (var. tenui- 
folius Wallr., var. pseudo-reptans Syme). Drigg sandhills, 
Cumberland, July 31, 1931. Abundantly in damp hollows to 
the exclusion of any other form of the species, I saw none
