272 Rhodora [Xovkmuku 



More glandular and less bristly than the characteristic shrub of 

 the upland region of New Hampshire and Vermont but seemingly 



referable to it. A plant of Annapolis Co.: moist woods and thick- 

 ets, Middleton, Fernald k Pease, no. 21,541, is less characteristic 

 but is temporarily referred here. 



•RuBUS setosus Bigel. Our only Nova Seotian material which 

 is possibly referable to 11. setosus is from DlGBT Co.: border of clear- 

 ing in wet mixed woods, Hectanooga, Long k Under, no. 21,577, a 

 remarkably stout development, with long canes 7 mm. in diameter 

 and with unusually firm and thickened bristles, perhaps not correctly 

 referred to It. sctosus.

Treated by Brainerd k Peiterscn as " It. hispidus X setosus." The 

 abundance of characteristic It. jaeevs in western Nova Scotia, where 

 It. setosus is excessively rare if not quite unknown, suggests that the 

 former is now, at least, a well established species.

 Yarmouth Co.: rocky roadside thicket, Yarmouth, Fernald, Long 

 k hinder, no. 21,604.
