18 5-II-34 Potentilla verna I. Cate II 20, Bor 99, SV# 143, SVI 371 Fl. Illin. [F] has been repeatedly observed. V studied this spring. Very common esp. on topo j walls all around Illine [?] using key SVII. Style is certainly not tapered but suddenly broadened at stigma. But from a very thin base broadens v is almost of equal thickness to the hardly (if at all) broader stigma (as in P aurea). Hence ?* abrupt. Free part of basal stipules are linear, branches of petiole ± elongated & inter rooting (but flat not rooting) form grouped podes. Hence 21* Hairsall simple. Hence no. 1308. Nothing else seems possible. Roots are clothed with dried remains of stipules & leas. Long hairs on top petiole spreading in a rather hindered manner (hence none of them, never most of them) horizontal. Meas. if not recorded but not larger than 1-1.5cm (pot was more like 10-12mm). 5-26-34 Ranunculus nemorosus DC. Cate I 38, Bor 9 =R.beyrinicus Grayy Sol.I 265 Fl. fieldabor. Au. Marseille. Differs from those usually found in that petals are white inside (yellow at base) lemon yellow outside. Very attractive in effect. Carpels etc seem exactly as in the usual sort. Loss without lighter markings (see 5-13-34)
