1901. Rogers. — Some North-east Ireland Rtibi. 215 



Vii,i,icaui,es. 



R. Selmeri, Lindeb.— 37. Tanderagee, Lett\ Scarva and near 

 Newry ; very abundant. 38. Saintfield, Waddell ! Common at Aghaderg 5 

 Anacloan. 39. Cushendall ; near Giant's Causeway, Bailey ! and F. A, 

 Rogers. Evidently as abundant and easily recognized through a great 

 part of Ireland, as in most parts of Great Britain. Under this I now 

 believe must come Canon Lett's Armagh (Tanderagee) and Antrim 

 (Glendun) plants, for which I formerly suggested the name R. gratus 

 Focke. 



DlSCOI^ORKS, 



R. argentatus, P. J. Muell.— *38. Aghaderg; local. Apparently 

 rare in Ireland. 



R. rusticanus, Merc. — 37. Tartaraghan ; Armagh, Praegerl 38. 

 Annaghdroghal ; Comber and Castle Espie, Waddell \ Ballintaggart, 

 Lett ! Aghaderg : seen in two spots only, viz. — Mile Hill Lane and road- 

 side towards Banbridge. 39. Common, and especially abundant near 

 the sea. 



[R. pubescens, Weihe.— 38. Saintfiekl, Waddell '! Doubtfully thus 

 named by me, and in need of confirmation.J 



Sii,vatici. 



R. silvaticus, Wh. & N. — 37. Field south of Newry, near the 

 reservoir, hb. Lett ! Apparently this, but needing confirmation here and 

 in 38 (Milltown and Clonallen, Lett. Saintfield, Waddell.) 



R. myricae Focke, var. hesperius, Rogers. *38. Lane north of 

 Banbridge. Not seen in fruit, but clearly not distinct from Mr. 

 Marshall's Mayo and Galway plant (Jonrn. Bot., 1896,504), though nearly 

 eglandular in panicle, and so one step nearer to typical R. myricoz. 



R. macrophyllus, Wh. & N.— 38. Saintfield, Waddell ! Agha- 

 derg. Wall near the lough, quite in the open, for a good many yards; 

 a conspicuous form with short roundish terminal leaflet, and very flori- 

 ferous large-flowered panicle. 



Subsp. Schlechtendalii (Weihe).— One of the most abundant 

 and characteristic brambles of this part of Ireland. 37. Scarva. 

 Near Newry. 38. Saintfield, Waddell ! Aghaderg. Anacloan, 

 Banbridge. 



VUSTITI. 



R. in i cans, Gren. & Godr.— *37- Scarva. 38. Fairly frequent 

 Banbridge, roadside near " Mutton Hill," a handsome highly glandular 

 form. Aghaderg. Anacloan. Confirms previous uncertain record for 

 Co. Down. *39- Near Ballymena, about two miles on the Larne road ; a 

 very strong form, F. A. Rogers ! 



R. hirtifolius, Muell. & Wirtg — 38. Under this aggregate species 

 must certainly come a plant of Canon Lett's from Aghaderg, which I 

 have seen in the dried state more than once ; and also one from Saint-
