Thalictrum . majus , Sm. Kyloe Crags (basalt), Northumberland, 
24th August, 1885. This form is apparently confined to a very 
narrow limit in Northumberland, on the basaltic rocks at Kyloe and 
Ratcheugh. J. G. Baker, Flora of Northumberland and Durham, 
says, “ It recedes in the direction of T. minus , by its hollow stem, 
smaller size, smaller leaflets, which are glaucous and somewhat 
glandular beneath, and few flowered scarcely leafy panicle.”— H. E. 
Fox. “ I place it under minus , probably var. b. It appears that much, 
if not all, of my former saxatile will go there as suggested in Stud. 
FI.” — C. C. Babington. 
Ranunculus peltatus, Fries. Pond at Knypersley, Staffordshire, 
July, 1885. — W. H. Painter. “ R. peltatus type, the form floribundus 
of Hiern’s Monograph.” — H. and J. Groves. 
R. peltatus , var. Rapid stream of the Tillingbourne, Albury, 
Surrey, 22nd June, 1885 ( 2 34 an d 2 35 )- The latter plant (235) on 
the brick steps of a waterfall, apparently a shorter growth of the 
former. — W. H. Beeby. “ This is a very puzzling plant, and with- 
out seeing more complete representation, we are unable to express 
any definite opinion on it. It is unusually small for a river form of 
R. peltatus .” — H. and J. Groves. 
R. pseudo-fluitans , Hiern. In the Axe at Cheddar, N. Somerset, 
31st May, 1885. — J. W. White. “ Probably a form ot B. penicillatum , 
Dumort., without floating leaves.” — H. and J. Groves. 
R. heterophyllus , var. ? Pool on the Gault, below Tatsfield, 
Surrey, 7th June, 1885. No floating leaves on any of the plants 
when seen, but some planted in a glass tank produced floating leaves 
later. I have no specimens of rhipiphyllus , but so far as I remember 
it, these late floating leaves were much those of that plant, that is, 
resembling truncatus , but with the cutting sharper. — W. H. Beeby. 
“ R. heterophyllus , specimens too young to say more.”— H. and J. 
Groves. 
R. Petiveri , Koch, fide Dr. Scheutz. Ponds at Sheepy, 
Leicestershire, May, 1885. — W. H. Painter. “ R. heterophyllus , 
form radians of Hiern’s Mon.; R. Petiveri, Koch, is generally under- 
stood to belong to R. Baudotii or R. tripartitus — H. and J. Groves. 
R. intermedius , Hiern. ? Ditch at North Camp, Surrey, 24th 
June, 1885. If I am correct in this name, the record is a good one, 
as the plant is all but extinct in the old station. — W. H. Beeby. 
U R. intermedius .” — H. and J. Groves. 
R. Flammula, L., var. pseudo-reptans, E. B. On the margin of 
the western shore of Windermere, near the Ferry, Lake Lancashire, 
25th July, 1885. This plant grows in dense patches in the lake, and 
in habit and characters it closely approaches the R. reptans , L., 
which Mr. Bolton King sent from Ulleswater, a few years ago ; it is 
very distant from the coarse procumbent form of R. Flammula met 
with in exposed bogs and ditches. Dr. Boswell separates pseudo- 
reptans from reptans , by the character of the internode, which, in the 
former is described as “straight (not regularly arched), usually rooting 
only at the lower nodes,” and in the latter by its being filiform and 
arched, (Eng. Bot., ed III., Vol. I., p. 34). I have collected the 
true reptans only once, on the edge of the Hitterdal Vand, in
