370 Dr. T. Bell Salter on some forms of Rubus. 



by Mr. Babington^ appears to be the northern form of the spe- 

 cies, and though quite distinct in appearance, possesses no re- 

 markable artificial character by which to distinguish it from the 

 other forms. The following are probably the readiest : — the 

 leaves are nearly concolorous on both sides ; terminal leaflet sub- 

 cordate, much-acuminated; panicle leafy to the summit with simple 

 leaves ; petals smaller and paler. 



It is a matter of doubt whether further observation will not 

 unite R. Lingua (Weihe) and R. scaber (Weihe) to this species. 



The next three forms I was originally disposed to consider as 

 so many distinct species, and with that opinion recorded two of 

 them in my remarks on the " Rubi of Selborne," in the second 

 volume of the ^ Phytologist.^ My reasons for now coming to a 

 different conclusion, that they are but so many forms of one, I 

 will mention after describing them. 



14. Ruhus glandulosus (Bellardi). — Stem arched, terete or slightly 

 angular, prickly with small straight unequal prickles, hairy 

 and very setose. Leaves ternate ; leaflets oval, cuspidate, green 

 on both sides, pilose above, hairy and rather paler beneath. 

 Panicle branched, leafy below, densely setose. Calyx lanceo- 

 late, reflected or patent, often with a leafy point. Flowers July 

 and August.
