THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB 
OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
REPORT OF THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR 1883. 
By GEORGE NICHOLSON. 
Owing partly to the late period at which some of the Reports were 
received, and partly to pressure of other work, a considerable delay 
has taken place in the publication of this Report. The thanks of the 
Club and the Distributor are due to Professor Babington and Messrs. 
J. G. Baker, Arthur Bennett, W. H. Beeby, H. and J. Groves, Rev. 
W. W. Newbould, and other gentlemen, for notes on critical plants 
and for help in many ways. 
The total number of plants received for distribution was about 
3,735, from 33 contributors.

Ranunculus fluitans , L., b. Bachii. In the Severn, above Bewdley,

a R. Bachii , from the Severn, is not correct, it is probably penicillatus.”
