7-16-34 rougheued. Seed more nearly elong than in E. montanum (ie less broadened and which bears coma). On the back of the seed there is a ridge-line between the two grooves (in E. mon - the space be- tween the 2 grooves is flattish-rounded) and the face of the seed slopes to the coma-bearing tip as if sliced obliquely (in E. mon the back [sic] is straight). By "face" I mean the face not rounded. Effect? These plants growing in my diff from the simple-stemmed E. montanum, bet since the smallest besides them were growing in cracks which could furnish little nourishment they may be only a form of E. montanum. Confused with E. montanum by roadside thorn->Caf des Narcisses with E. racemum on same roadside; with E. parviflorum gorge du Chauderon & E. parviflora on R-M. 107 (F-both of these latter are E. parviflorum) 846 7-16-34 Ranunculus FL. R'K Café des Narcisses -> Pont de Pierre (on entering woods) aspect of plant, its roots, peduncles with no grooves, receptacle glabrous suggest R. acria. But Colyx is diff reflexed exactly as in R. bulbosus. Robenes (2 fl's) smooth, bordered, st furnished with appressed hairs but base of leaf-sheaths with longer stiffer, spreading hairs which (on the sheaths) lower most at least are brown.
