iJOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUli. 
RauHnculu-'i iuteniicdius, Hierii Moii. Pond., bctley Plciiii, b. Iliiiits, 
April 17, 1876. — H. & J. Gbovkh. Kerris Moor and Cliyanliall 
Moor, Penzance, April, 1876. Collected by Mr. Curnow ; com- 
municated by Mrs. Lomax. A small state of Lenomumdi, occurring 
m peaty moorland ground near Plymouth, comes so near this in 
the shape of the leaves and in general appearance, that the only 
good mark of distinction between the two is the hispid receptacle 
of intennedim. Both the Setley and Kerris Moor specimens show 
fruit fully formed, although collected so early as April, thus 
proving intermedim to be avery eaiiy-howering plant Lenormmidi . 
Messrs. Groves remark concerning the Hants plant: “ This shows 
an interesting series of forms, from the small typical state on the 
gravelly margin of the pond to the large form in deeper water 
(which almost becomes li. Lenorvuindi), with more rounded leaf- 
segments, longer petals, and sometimes a few submersed leaves.” 
— T. K. A. B. li. intennedim, Hiern, Kerris Moor, Penzance, col- 
lected by Mr. Curnow for Mrs. Lomax, 1876, and Setley Plain, 
South Hants, J. & H. Groves, are no doubt rightly named. I do 
not see that the absence or presence of submerged leaves is a 
sufficient distinction from R. tripartitus. From the seeds of the 
Surrey R. intermedins, Mr. Borrer raised plants with capillary 
submerged leaves quite similar to those of R. tripartitus sent me in 
1875 by Mr. W. H. Tugwell, who collected it near Hailsham, in 
Sussex. — J. T. Boswell. 
R. acris, var. vuhjatns, Jord. Eadford, Warwick, May, 1876. — 
E. L. Baker. Sowerby Flats, near Thmsk, N. E. Yorkshire, June, 
1876. — Thomas J. Foggitt. Both of these are rightly named. — J. 
T. Boswell. 
Caltha palustris, Linn., b. Gnerangerii. Swampy spot in a wood, 
Lee Mill Bridge, S. Devon, May 1st, 1876. — T. E. Archer Briggs. 
Eranthis lujemalis, Salisb. Meadow near Bagby Clnu'ch, near 
Thirsk, N. E. Yorkshire, May 6th, 1876. I first met with this 
plant in the meadow, March 11th, 1871. It was then in full 
flower, and very beautiful, growing as it does in great profusion. 
It must have been established then a long time, as I have known 
the place for more than thirty years, and there has been no garden 
or house near the place. — Thomas J. Foggitt. 
Papaver Anjemone, Linn. var. Gravel-pit, Hertford, Herts ; 
with typical Argemone and dubium, August, 1876. — T. B. Blow. A 
slight variety, having the capsules armed with only about from six 
to eight bristles, irregularly disposed around the top of the capsule : 
only two specimens sent. — T. E. A. B. This form I have not 
before seen. It comes very near the P. Argemone j3. glahrum of 
Koch’s synopsis, but that has the upper part of the stem, with its 
leaves, as well as the capsifle, “ glaberrima.” — J. T. Boswell. 
“ Fumaria IJoraiP Fields, Yetholm, July, 1875. Ediiam, 
Eoxburgh, July, 1876. Abundant on the Borders. — Andrew 
Brotherston. ‘ P\ Borm,' from I’^etholm, I am inclined to think 
is confusa, but have some little doubt. — C. C. Babington. 
“ F. Borni (Intermediate form.)” Eoadsides and cultivated 
ground, Kelso, Eoxburgh, August, 1875, and October, 1876. This
