 208 A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ' FLORA VECTENSIS.'

C. Impida, h.,\a\\ pseiido-a'ivHn, and C. polyaeavtha, A. Braim. On Golden's Common, Freshwater! (F. Strattoii). 'I'his agrees fairly with Plate ^IMDCCXLVI of the Flora Danica, ami also with dried specimens in Braun. Eab. et Stiz., and is much more closely covered with spines than in the normal C. hispida.

C. f rat/ His, I) esY. Golden's Common, Freshwater! (F. Stratton).

Mr. W. P. Hiern has very kindly examined and named, according to his views lately published in the 'Journal of Botany ' (pp. 65, etc.), my series of Batrachian Ranunculi, collected in the Isle of Wight ; and, as he has given so much tinie and study to the subject, I gladly avail myself of his nomenclature, which will be useful for comparison with what has been said before on p. 74. Tlie numbers prefixed to the names are those used by Mr. Hiern, and my comments are enclosed in brackets.

1 . Ranunculus homceophyllus. Pond at Bembridge. (This is floating " hederaceus."') 25. R. trichopliyllus. Cothey Bottom Copse and Spencer Koad, Ryde. "A large form" of the same from Brading Marshes Mr. Hiern thinks may belong to R.Jhribiindus. 29. R. Drouetii. Knighton Upper Mill-pond and ]^iading Marshes. 19. R. Godrovii. Brading Marshes. (This is my " i?. Drouetii, with floating leaves," and I still think it belongs to R. Dronelii rather than to R. trichopliyllus. It has no relation to the large form of tricJiophyllus above mentioned, but passes into the typical Z)yo?/e/«.) 13. R. elouf/alus. Sandown Marslics. 14. R. truncatus. Sandown Marshes. (These two are the later stage of my "■ peltatus.") 15. R.floribundus. Bembridge; Yaverland ; Pan Common and Sandown Marshes. (This I believe to be the early stage of the plant we call '■'' peltatus" and "truncatus.'") 18. R. radians? Dennetts Marsh, Bembridge. (This is what I call " Juderopliyllus," and Mr. Hiern remarks that it passes into R. Jioribundns, which I have myself collected in a different season, from the same small pond ; each being the only form in one year.) 11. R. Baudotii. Brading Marshes; pond towards Yaverland ; and Nettlestone. R. Baudotii, var. cfpspitosus. Brading Marshes. 34. R. marinus. Brading Marshes. (This is simply R. Baudotii, without floating leaves.) With the addition of R. Lenor- mandi, R. liederafolius, and R. submersus {Jloribundus, without floating leaves), we have, in the Isle of V\'ight, thirteen out of the twenty-two British forms described by Mr. Hiern.

Omitted.

Valeriana dioica, L. In Priory Marsh Meadows and in Clatterford Marsh, near Carisbrooke (F. Stratton).

ZannichelUa puluslris, L. The typical form is abundant in the mill- dam at Lower Knighton, Var. Z. pedicellata. Fries, is plentiful in ditches near the coast.

In conclusion, it may be well to enumerate here the results which have been obtained of late years both in adding to, and taking from, the list since it was left by Dr. Bromfield and Dr. BcU Salter. These will be best shown under separate heads, as follows : —

Addenda.
