Abstract
1. Ranunculus crassipes, Hook. f. Fl. Antarct. 224, t. 81. Christmas Harbour, Observatory and Swain’s Bay, Boyal Sound (a form with petioles 5-7 inches long). I have nothing to add to what I have said of this species in the Antarctic Flora, beyond that I can hardly doubt its being a derivative form of the Fuegian R. biternatus , Sm., with which it agrees in habit and its thick-walled beaked carpels, but differs chiefly in its robustness and simple leaves. R. biternatus has been found by Moseley in Marion Island, where it presents every character of the American plant.Keywords
