Buddu District at 1230 m. alt., Brown, 133. Koki District, at 
1200 m. alt., Dawe, 388. 
The fruits on both specimens appear to be in abnormal con- 
dition, the receptacle and achenes being swollen into a spongy 
densely tomentose mass, in some cases becoming densely villose, 
quite unlike the normal fruit of Rubus. It is suspected to be a 
galled condition, as no traces of fungi are present. Mr. Brown 
describes the fruit as yellow and inedible, but all those collected 
are in the same condition.
