Ranunculus acris, L., var. [ref. No. 2744]. Shingle, 
Sligachan, Skye, June 1910. Probably a northern form of R. tomo- 
phyllus, Jord. — G. Claridge Druce. I think var. iomophyllus, 
Jord., would be the right name. — E. F. Linton. One specimen 
received, which looks like depauperate R. Borcsanus^ Jord., form 
tomophyllus (Jord.). — Edward S. Marshall. 
Ranunailus bulbosuSy L., var. [ref. No. 3997]. St. Ouen’s, Jersey, 
April 1910. Var. dunensis, mihi. See page 495. — G. Claridge 
Druce. Dwarf, one-flowered specimens ; very villous. The material 
sent to me is too young to base any valid opinion upon ; as far 
as I can judge, it is nothing but a state due to the situation. 
Cultivation tnay prove the characters to be permanent. Rev. 
H. E. Fox has sent specimens to the “ Watson Exchange Club,” 
which appear to be just the same thing. — E. S. Marshall. 
Ranunculus Flammula, Linn., var. tenuifolius, Wallr. This 
variety of Ranunculus Flammula^ L., is very abundant on swampy 
parts of Epsom Common, Surrey. August 1910. — C. E. Britton. 
'I'he above variety is defined as follows in Rouy and Foucaud, ‘ FI. 
de France,’ I. 83: — “Tige grele, rampante ; feuilles presque 
lindaires.” They say that it is the R. ccespiticius, Dumort., R. 
replans, Thuill., et bot. plur., non L. Though so striking in ap- 
pearance, I believe it to be only a state of situation, which w^ould 
revert at once to type, under normal conditions. — Edward S. 
Marshall. I can see nothing but ordinary Flammula in this. 
I understand that var. teJiuifolius, Wallr., is synonymous with var. 
radicans, Nolte (= pseudo-replans, Syme), to which this plant is 
not at all similar. — C. E. Salmon. Professor Gliick (‘ Die Ufer- 
flora,’ 19 1 1, p. 492) states that var. radicans, Nolte = var. gracilis, 
G. F. W. Meyer = forma replans, Nolte = var. lenuifolius, V’all- 
roth = var. replans, Neilreich = var. replans, auct. Professor (Biick 
also describes forma nalans, Gliick (p. 493), forma submersus, Gliick 
(p. 495), and var. alis?nifolius, Glaab, in ‘Deutsche botan. Monats- 
.schr.’ xi. pp. 76-7 (p. 500). 1 agree with Mr. Marshall in regard- 
ing all these as formae due to special soil conditions. — C. E. Moss. 
Ny?nphcea lulea, Linn., var. inlermcdia, Ledeb. [ref. No. 303]. 
Chartncrs Loch, v.-c. 67 Northumberland, July 7, 1910. — Coll. 
J. Kerr Young. Comm. S. H. Bickham. 
Fumaria purpurea, Pugsley [ref. No. 305]. Allotment gardens, 
Malvern, Worcester,] September 9, 1910. — S. H. 13 ickham. Yes. 
— II . W. Pugsley. 
Fumaria occidenlalis. Pugs. N. Cornwall, August 1910. — H. E. 
Fox. Yes. I am glad to sec this from a new locality. — H. W. 
Pugsley.
