REPORT FOR 1907.

T. fiavum, L., var. sphcerocarpum, Lej. Marshy lake side, 
Llangasty, Brecon, 30th Sept. 1907. Fruit well developed and 
nearly free from insect distortion : it is thought that this may be 
welcome to some members, — Augustin Ley. Yes, var. spharo- 
carpim (Lej. and Court). — E. F. L. 
T. fiavum^ L., var, mgncans, Jacq. Marshy meadow, Llangasty, 
Brecon, 26th June and 30th Sept. 1907. A few more specimens 
from the same spot as those sent last year, to assist in determining 
if possible this plant. Rev. E, F. Linton (in Rep. of Watson Club) 
is right in saying that this plant is densely Ccespitose. I am cul- 
tivating it in the garden, and hope to obtain by this means “ honest 
fruit.” — Augustin Ley. See ‘Rep. B.E.C.’ 1906, p. 208. What 
British Botanists have been calling var. nigricans is now in the 
‘Lon. Cat.’ as var. rufinerve (Lej. and Court). — H. J. R. 
Ranunculus Drouetii, F. Schultz, forma. Small road-side pool 
south of Trevemper, Crantock, West Cornwall, v.-c. i, 7th and 
25th June 1907. Messrs. H. and J. Groves write about this plant 
that it is a “ difficult form approaching R. trichophyllus in some 
respects, but much nearer R. Drouetii, to which it is perhaps 
better referred.” — C. C. Vigurs. Clearly right, I should say; a not 
uncommon, small flowered form. — E. S. M. 
R. Baudotii, Godr., forma. On brackish sandy mud at St. 
Columb Minor, Forth, West Cornwall, v.-c. i, i8th and 21st June 
T907. Messrs. Groves write of this plant that it is a “mud form 
of R. Baudotii, not R. marinus, Fries, which is a more distinct 
plant.” It was named R. marinus. Fries, for me some years ago 
by a good botanist, and seems to agree with the description in 
Babington’s Manual, Ed. IX., of that plant, for which of course 
the Editors are not responsible. —C. C. Vigurs. Only the state 
which this plant assumes when growing on mud ; not a true variety. 
— E. S. M. 
R. tripartitus, DC. Castle Killibury (alias Kelly Castle), near 
Wadebridge, East Cornwall, v.-c. 2, 19th June 1907. It was found 
here by Mr. Clement Reid in 1906. It was growing (when I saw 
it) in a small portion only of one of the two circular moats of this 
ancient earthwork situated on top of a knoll. The only possible 
origin of the plant in this situation would seem to be transportation 
of the seeds by birds. It existed in a very dense mass ; the stems 
were inextricably entangled, and though fine, were comparatively 
strong. The segments of the submerged leaves were very slender, 
weak, and completely collapsing; all the floating leaves were 
yellowish-brownish-green, not at all the colour of R. lutarius, Bouv., 
and it seemed to me to be as distinct from R. lutarius as that plant
