Rubus castrensis n. sp. and 7?. rhonibifolius war. megastachys n. var. 

 from England are described. The former is near to R. latifolius Bab., 

 but differs in having a more hairy stem with longer and more numerous 

 prickles, leaves broader in proportion to their length and more cuspi- 

 date, considerably more hairy beneath, the basal distinctly stalked; its 

 panicle is much longer, more Compound, much more strongly armed, 

 and is quite eglandular, even on bracts. The variety of R. rhonibifolius 

 is stronger and more luxuriant^, has a broad, truncate and cylindrica! 

 panicle, and difJers in other characters. F. E. Fritsch.

1906. No. 993. p. 2.) 



The new species agrees with three others {T. securigera, T. Nelsoni, 

 T. flava) in the three horny and probably gland-bearing processes, shaped 

 like the head of a hatchet, which issue irom the three lower Segments 

 of the corolla at the orifice of the tubulär portion of the fiower. It is 

 near T. securigera in colour of flowers which are however only half as 

 large, whilst the leaves are double the size of those of the species 

 named; the spathe-valves i re also longer and acuminate, the scape 

 more flexuose, branching and floriferous. • F. E. Fritsch.

Reference is niade to a previous article on the same subject in the 

 Bulletin for 1903, the notes now added summarize the previously known 

 facts and record the manufacture of tea on a commercial scale from August 

 1903. Jamaica is the only place in the West In dies where tea is 

 cultivated, and indeed with the exception of an estate in South Caro- 

 lina, in the western hemisphere. W. G. Freeman.

The fruits of the „ginnp" (A'lelicocca bijuga) are of value for feeding 

 sheep. Analyses of the fruit are recorded which show that the seeds 

 are fairly rieh in albuminoids and may be regarded as a concentrated food 

 stuff and should be valuable added to grass and green fodder.
