434 I'HE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Adonis annua, L. In a cornfield in the parish of Telcombe, 
East Sussex, v.-c. 14, in great quantity. Shown me by Mr. T. 
Hilton, July, 1909. Although not given for Sussex in ‘Top. Bot.,’ 
the above locality has been long known to Sussex botanists. It is 
one in which the plant is in as natural conditions as anywhere in 
England. Colonist is doubtless its correct designation. — G. C. 
Druce. 
Ranunculus Flanimula, L., var. Gravelly north shore of 
Ullswater, Cumberland, v.-c. 70. Quite prostrate and occasionally 
rooting; growing with R. replans, L., Aug. 31, 1909. — S. H. Bice- 
ham. A frequent state of R. Flaniniula in such situations ; 
scarcely nodal-ro >ting. and not var. radicans, Nolte {pseudo-replans, 
Syme). The fruit is that of Flammula, and quite different from that 
of Mr. Bickham’s replans from the same station. — E. S. Marshall. 
Ranunculus replans, Linn. Gravelly north shore of Ullswater, 
Cumberland, v.-c. 70, .\ug. 31, 1909. — S. H. Bickham. This was 
accepted, I believe, and then denied as the same as the Loch Leveii 
plant. Certainly it is quite away from any of the procumbent 
forms of Flaniniula, and I think must pass. — A. Bennett. This 
has the arching internodes and the fruit of R. replans, though the 
leaves remind one rather of extreme R. Flaniniula, var. radicans, 
Nolte I have not seen replans growing in Britain ; the plant 
which I once found plentifully on the muddy shore of a mountain- 
lake in Switzerland, at 6,000 feet, was much more slender and 
brittle, and more clearly a distinct species from Flaniniula . — 
E. S. Marshall. 
Ranunculus Borceanus, Jord. ^Vhitewell Bottom, Cotteswolds, 
West Gloucester, v.-c. 34,Qune 30, 1909. A few specimens of an 
exceptionally good strain of Borceanus. I have never seen it more 
characteristic, d’his form of acris is not abundant in the Bristol 
district, as it never constitutes the bulk of acris plants in a meadow, 
but is found only in field-corners and by waysides. Stems com- 
paratively glabrous with very long lower internodes. Leaves finely 
divided and the segments interlacing. — Jas. W. White. 
Ranunculus loniophyllus, Jord. Pastures, Henbury, West 
Gloucester, v.-c. 34, June 14, 1909. — Jas. W. White. This agrees 
well enough with the short description in Rouy and Foucaud, ‘ FI. 
de France,’ L, 102. But the name loniophyllus clearly points to 
a plant with deeply cut leaves ; here they have broad and rather 
short segments. I therefore hesitate' to accept them as Jordan’s 
segregate. — E. S. Marshall. Kerner, who grew many forms of R. 
acris, told me he could place no reliance on the relative width of 
the leaf-segments. That is, a plant with them narrow might in
