REPORT FOR 1 908. 
357 
meadow on the Upper Thames, above Godstow, where it occurs. — 
G. Claridge Druce. Apparently identical with plants from the 
higher parts of the Thames drainage, above Kempsford, in N. Wilts, 
and E. Gloucester. The panicle is compact, and the fruit ovoid. 
Var. sphcerocarpum (Lej, & Court), I believe. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Syme says, ‘ Achenes globular-ovoid, panicle generally con- 
tracted = sphcerocarpum.^ ‘ Achenes oval-ovoid, panicle generally 
rather lax = riparium .’ 
T. flavtun, L., var. ? Side of brooklet at foot of cliffs. 
Anker Church, Derbyshire, v.-c., 57, July igo8. — T. E. Routh and W. 
Bell, In great plenty. Flowers yellowish-green. Plants about 5 ft. 
high. I do not know these forms. — W. B. Ripe fruits are essential 
to determine the critical forms, this in the early flowering stage, but 
I should have thought this was typical flavum. — G. C. Druce. 
Ranunculus Flammula., L., var. near radicans^ Nolte. Splashes 
near stream, Bramble Hill, Bramslow, Hants, 6th Sept. 1908. A 
curious variety allied to radicans, but seemingly not quite the same ; 
rooting at the nodes, and nearly abortively flowering. From small 
splashes in the New Forest, in deep shade, and peaty ground. — 
J. Cosmo Melvill. Not var. radicans, Nolte, which is a small- 
leaved state of northern lake-shores, more or less simulating R. 
reptans., L. I should not separate this from the type. — E. S. M. 
Somewhat similar to pseudo-reptans, Syme, as distributed by H. C. 
Fox, ‘ Exch. Club,’ 1890, but Syme says his plant has leaves narrower 
than type ; these are broad. It differs from type by its rooting 
habits. — G. C. Druce. 
R. acris, L., var. ? [ref. No. 3351]. Meadows, Kilgwrrwg, 
about 7 miles from Chepstow, v.-c. 35, Mon., 29th May 1908. Shown 
to me by Mr, W. A. Shoolbred. Near Borceanus and trichophyllus 
\ sic\ — E. S. Marshall. Two plants on this sheet. The larger 
one with long glabrous lower joints is clearly Borceanus : the smaller 
one is good tomophyllus. — C. B. and J. W. W. 
R. acris, L , var. ? Marshy meadows near stream. Great 
Kilgwrrwg Farm, Kilgwrrwg Bottom, Mon., 29th May 1908. — 
W. A. Shoolbred. Two gatherings : the younger less developed 
specimens look more untypical than those of the later gathering. — 
W. A. Shoolbred. Mr. Shoolbred shewed me this growing in 
abundance. I believe it to be R. acris, var. Boneanus (Jord.), 
sub- var. tomophyllus (Jord.).— E. S. M. Is a form of R Borceanus 
(Jord.), with the lower part of the stem and petioles rather more 
hairy than usual, but with the leaves less dense and paler coloured 
than in the var. tomophyllus (Jord.), from which it differs in the 
rootstock. — J. A. Wheldon. One large specimen on the sheet, 
and that is tomophylhis without doubt. — C. B. and J. W, W.
