36 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Ranunculus, sp. This Batrachian grew in the Wye, near Symond’s 
Yat, West Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, in September 1900, and 
was remarkable from the fact that it was freely rooting at the stem 
joints ; these roots I have endeavoured to show in the flowerless 
specimens sent, which were the best I could obtain. It grew in the 
shallows and where the water was flowing rapidly with Potamogeton 
angustifolius, Presl. A new county record. — G. Claridge Druce. 
“ Impossible to name these specimens.” — Ed. 
R. heterophyllus, Web., c. submersus, Hiern. Portbury Marshes, 
North Somerset, 27th May 1901. — J. W. White. “Judging from 
this specimen we think this may be a hybrid, with heterophyllus as 
one parent, the thick stem, ascending peduncles, and undeveloped 
fruits pointing in that direction.” — H. and J. Groves. 
R. peltatus, Schrank. Pool on Potter’s Hill, 600 feet. North 
Somerset, 15th June 1902. — J. W. White. “Yes, a small form.” — 
H. and J. Groves. 
Helleborus fcetidus, L. Farley Dingle, near Much Wenlock, May 
1902. Undoubtedly originally planted, but it is now well established 
in this habitat and has spread very much. — W. Hunt Painter. 
Fumaria purpurea, Pugsley (?). On a hedge bank at Lyonshall 
railway station, Herefordshire, 19th June 1902. I am not quite 
satisfied that my determination is right, but if so this will be a new 
county record, I suppose. — Augustin Ley. “Not F. purpurea; 
sepals much too small for that species. A rampant state of F. 
Borcei, Jord.” — H. W. Pugsley. 
Arabis ciliaia, R. Br., var. hispida, Syme. Ref. No. 2650. This 
grew plentifully (24th June 1902) on sandhills about a mile north of 
Castlegregory, Kerry, Ireland, associated with a fair amount of the 
type and a small quantity of A. hirsuta (probably var. glabrata, 
Syme), which was remarkably distinct-looking from iDoth. The only 
difference that we could detect between type and variety was in the 
latter having the leaf-surfaces hispid, instead of glabrous ; it was also 
usually rather more robust. After seeing the true plant, I am doubt- 
ful about specimens formerly distributed by me as A. ciliata, var. 
hispida. — Edward S. Marshall. “See ‘Journal of Botany,’ 1903 
p. 278.”— Ed. 
Erophila, sp. Ref. No. 2676. Downs above Rackham and 
Amberley, West Sus.sex, v.-c. 13, loth May 1902. Petals about two 
and a half times as long as the sepals. Stems usually depressed 
except the short, erect, central one. It seems to approach E. 
majuscula, Jordan; though that is described as having veined petals, 
which I failed to observe in the fresh specimens. Plants often large 
for the genus. — Edward S. Marshall. “ Cannot get this named ” 
Ed.
