198 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Thalictrum minus , L., var. ( calcareum , Jord.). Ben Bulben, Sligo, 
17th August, 1885. — W. R. Linton. “Correct.” — J. G. Baker. The 
leaflets are much narrower than those of the preceding plant. — Ed. 
Anemone ranunculoides, L. Naturalised in Calverton Park, Bucks, 
April, 1878. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Ra?iunculus fluitans , Lamk., form. Brailsford, S. Derby, Septem- 
ber, 1880. This plant is very plentiful in Brailsford Brook, mostly 
producing no floating leaves, but in one spot producing them rather 
freely. The receptacle is not glabrous, and, I should have said, is 
more than glabrescent. — W. R. Linton. “ R. fluitans, form.” — H. 
Groves. “ I should have doubted the correctness of this name 
much.” — Arth. Bennett. “ It seems to be penicillatus. Is not the 
receptacle hispid ? ” — C. C. Babington. 
R . elongatus , F. Schultz; or, R . aquatilis , L., var. (?) elongatus , 
F. Sch. Ditch, roadside, in somewhat brackish water, Canvey Island, 
Essex, 1888. If so, hardly, perhaps, typical; stems very long and 
tapering; petals, though larger than those of trichophyllus , are smaller 
than those of any form of peltatus , floating leaves tripartite — Eyre de 
Crespigny. “ R . BaudotiiN — Ed. “Is R . BaudotiiP — J. Groves. 
R. hederaceus , L., form. Near Ashbourne, Derbyshire, 13th July, 
1 888. This, Messrs. Groves consider is not R. omiophyllus , Ten. 
It is a remarkably large and stout growing form, which feature may 
possibly have been aggravated by the wetness of last season. — W. R. 
Linton. Prof. Babington would cross out the omiophyllus , and call 
it simply hederaceus. 
R , acris , L., var. pumilus , Wahl. Corrie Sneachda, Easterness, 
August, 1887 and 1888. — G. C. Druce. Previously recorded from 
the Dovrefjeld; see Ahlberg’s specimens in British Museum and 
Herb. Oxon; and from the Faroe Islands. — Ed. 
R. sardous, Crantz. Portwilliam, Wigton, August, 1882. — G. 
Claridge Druce. New County record. 
Caltha palustris, L., form. Bradley, S. Derbyshire, 1 6th June, 
1888. This species in this neighbourhood presents considerable 
variety in the length of the beak of its fruit. I send a few plants 
showing long-beaked fruit ; there is no other noticeable variation 
accompanying this point that I can see. — W. R. Linton. Prof. 
Babington would have liked to have seen the lower leaves. 
Eranthis hyemalis , Salisb. Near Naseby monument, Northants, 
March, 1878. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Epimedium alpinum , L. Calverton Park, Bucks, May, 1878. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Nymphcea pumila , Hoffm., Nuphar minimum , Sm. Loch Avin- 
lochy, Easterness, July, 1887. — G. C. Druce. This was first 
described in E. B., by Smith, as Nuphar minimum ; but subsequently 
discovering that Hoffmann had described it as Nymphcea pumila , he 
changed the name in the ‘ English Flora ’ to Nuphar pumilum. If 
Salisbury’s genus Castalia be adopted for Nymphcea , Hoffmann’s name 
of Nymphcea pumila is the name this plant must bear. If Smith’s 
arrangement be retained, then his E. B. name of Nuphar minimum 
will have priority. — Ed.
