REPORT FOR 1900. 
619 
early period of the year there was only the foliage of the plant to be 
seen ; I did not find the plant in the Dee near by, although it had 
doubtless come into the canal through the inlet from the river ; it 
would therefore be a record for counties 48 and 50, for neither of 
which is it recorded in ‘Topographical Botany,’ ed. ii., p. 9. — 
Charles Bailey. 
Ranunculus fluitans , Lam., var. Bachii , Wirtgen. (The name is given 
as Bachi in Dr. Ph. Wirtgen’s ‘ Flora der preussischen Rheinprovinz,’ 
1 85 7, pp. 15-16.) In the sluice feeding the paper mill at Ayton, 12th 
and 13th July 1900; and in the Eye Water between East Reston and 
Aytonlaw (which feeds the paper-mill sluice), 1 6th July 1900; both 
stations in north-east Berwickshire. I have seen the same plant in the 
same county in the rivers Whiteadder and Blackadder, and I 
collected it in the river Tweed between Cornhill and Wark, near 
Coldstream, vice-county 68, 17th July 1900. Mr. James Groves has 
confirmed the naming. — Charles Bailey. 
R. pseudo-fluitans , “ Bab.,” Hiern. In the River Coin, near Coin 
St. Aldwyn, near Cirencester, south-east Gloucestershire, 6th June 
1900. Not recorded for vice-county 33 in ‘Top. Bot.,’ p. 8. — 
Charles Bailey. 
R. Drouetii, Godr. Old quarry pools, Island of Great Cumbrae, 
Clyde Isles, v.-c. 100; fide W. P. Hiern, 7th June 1899. — A. Somer- 
ville. 
R. Drouetii, Godr. Ponds near Winmarleigh, West Lancashire, 
]une 1900. — J. A. Wheldon and A. Wilson. “We should label this 
so, but it is not a satisfactory plant.” — H. and J. Groves. 
R. Baudotii, Godr. Pond near the Docks, Preston, and near 
Fleetwood, vice-county 60; July-August 1900. — J. A. Wheldon. 
“ Yes.”— Ed. 
R. radians , Revel. Marsh ditches, Yatton, N. Somerset. 13th 
June 1900. The rhines draining the lowlands of North Somerset 
yield plenty of Batrachian material. This plant is a from of R. 
heterophyllus , Fr., with floating leaves coriaceous in texture, hairy 
beneath, and divided deeply into straight-sided wedge-shaped segments 
that are often themselves stalked, and sometimes merge gradually into 
capillary divisions like those of submerged leaves. This is my idea of 
R. radians derived from an available published description. — Jas. W. 
White. 
R. Lenormandi , F. Schultz. Llanwrtyd Wells, Brecon, June 1900. 
W. H. Painter. “ Yes.” — H. and J. Groves. 
R. Flammula , L. var. radicans , Nolte. Gravelly shore of Ulles- 
water Lake, Patterdale, Westmoreland, 31st August 1900. It appears 
to connect R. reptans with R. Flammula. — J. C. Melvill.
