Ranunculus acer, L., subsp. and f. Borceanus , Rouy and Fouc. =R. 
Borceanus , Jord. (pro specie). Meadows in parish of Tredington, 
Worcestershire, May 1877. — F. Townsend. 
R. acer, L., subsp. and f. Borceanus, var. tomophyllus, Rouy and 
Fouc. =R. tomophyllus, Jord. (pro specie). Rough pastures in neigh- 
bourhood of Haslemere, Surrey, July 1900. — F. Townsend. 
R. acer, L., subsp. Borcea?ius, f. rectus, Rouy and Fouc. = R. rectus , 
Bor. (pro specie). Pastures near Haslemere, Surrey, and neighbouring 
borders of Sussex, July 1900. — F. Townsend. 
R. bulbosus, L., forma nana . Downs, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, 
1 2th July 1899. Deviates from typical bulbosus precisely as Campanula 
nana, Bailey, found in the same locality, does from normal C. glomerata. 
— J. C. Melvill. “ No doubt a dwarf form of this species, but the 
material is poor. It comes from a down where everything is dwarfed, 
Centaurea decipie?is and Pimp. Saxi/raga growing one to two inches 
high.” — E. F. Linton. 
Caltha radicans , Forster. Muddy swamp near Dolbadarn Castle, 
Carnarvonshire, July 1900. I send examples of a creeping marsh- 
marigold which I think must be referred to the above name. Although 
the radical leaves are not deltoid, yet many of the nodal leaves closely 
approximate to the figure given on the plate of Caltha radicans. And 
we have no proof that the leaf which is figured there was really one of 
the true radical leaves. In these specimens there is considerable 
variation in leaf-cutting, but on the whole I think they are more 
acutely cut than in the type. The specimens were gathered in the 
first week of July, and the season was a very backward one in North 
Wales. Only one specimen was in flower, and in this the sepals were 
smaller and much narrower than in the type. As the flowers which 
are produced on Caltha later in the season have usually smaller and 
less contiguous sepals than the earlier ones, we must await the gathering 
of specimens earlier in the year to be sure that those I saw are normal. 
If I am correct in my identification, this will be a new record not only 
for the principality but for England. It may be well to point out that 
the habitat is precisely similar to that of the one at Dundonnell in West 
Ross-shire, and to that at Glen More in Inverness, and Invercauld in 
South Aberdeenshire, namely, in a sheltered and shaded lowland 
muddy marsh, near a stream which had come down from mountains. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Neckeria claviculata, N. E. Br. La Crete Point, St. Martin’s, 
Jersey, June 28th, 1900. I enclose one sheet of this plant in case 
it be of any interest, as it has not been recorded for either of the 
Channel Islands. See ‘Journal of Botany,’ vol. 38, p. 319. A careful 
search of La Crete Point revealed its occurrence sparingly on the 
neighbouring slopes, and over quite a considerable area. — Stanley 
Guiton.
