Southern Norway, and while the habit of the Windermere plant was 
very similar in its mode of growth, the thick straight basal internodes 
remove it from reptans. The Windermere specimens now sent will 
show that the apical internodes are regularly arched, and that all the 
apical nodes possess roots as in true reptans. The plant at the date 
of collection was wholly submersed, and I could not meet with any 
ripe fruit. — C harles Bailey. 
Ranuncuhis pseudo-reptans. Near the Recess, Galway, W., 8th Aug., 
1885. A few plants were growing in a shallow of a rapid stream, with 
broad root-leaves curiously marked with brown blotches, which, I 
suppose, may come under this doubtful variety of R. Flammula , L. 
E. F. Linton. “This is quite different from Mr. Bailey’s plant, and 
I should say not the var. pseudo-reptans .” — J. G. 
R. cheer ophyllus, Auct. Mr. Arthur Bennett sends cultivated 
specimens grown from a root received from Dr. Bull, from Jersey. 
They are especially useful, as the plant appears to be extinct in the 
Channel Islands. — J. G. 
Caltha palustris, L. Gomshall Swamp, Surrey, 22nd June, 1885. 
I send a few specimens of this plant, alluded to in Brewer’s Flora of 
Surrey as answering “to the description of C. minor , DC.” Mr. 
Watson referred it to the type, as does Mr. Baker, who remarks that 
it is, in some respects, suggestive of radicans. It is a small form 
(occurring in several other places on the peat), often quite prostrate, 
and with the stems buried, but never rooting at the nodes. — W. H. 
Beeby. 
Fumaria, sp. Buckden, Hunts., 5th Sept., 1884. Differing from 
F officinalis by its minute sepals, which are those of F parviflora , in 
other respects like F officinalis , which is the only species of this 
genus which has been observed in the Buckden district. — W. R. 
Linton. — “ F. officinalis .” — J. G. 
Fzimaria ? Bullingdon, Oxon., August, 1885. A 
capreolate Fumaria, which in its flowers agrees best with F confusa , 
Jord., but the fruits are different from those of that species in my 
own herbarium. — G. C. Druce. “ Probably F. confusa , but the 
specimens are very unsatisfactory.” — J. G. 
F confusa , Jord. Reported last year, by me, as (?) a new county 
record. Still occurs in cultivated fields on Holy Island, Northum- 
berland. — H. E. Fox. 
Sinapis incana, L, Les Quenvais, Jersey, 23rd July, 1885. — 
Augustin Ley. 
Capsella Bursa-Pastoris , Moench. Mr. Mott sends some sets 
of Leicestershire forms, illustrating his paper in the “ Midland 
Naturalist,” for August, 1885. The varieties represented are 1 
gracilis , 2 densifolia , 3 stenocarpa lyrata, 4 stenocarpa coronopifolia , 
5 brachycarpa , 6 rubelleeformis, 7 macrophylla , and 8 bifida. I hope 
other members may be induced to follow Mr. Mott’s excellent 
example, and collect for the club sets of specimens of any critical 
genera to which they have given special attention. — J. G. 
Helianthemum guttatum , Mill., var. b. Breweri, Planch. Small 
specimens from Holyhead Mountain, large from Llanfairynghornwy, 
June, 1885. — J- E. Griffith.
