i9oi- Rogers. — Some North-east Ireland Rubi. 217 



Down, and in Co. Armagh plentifully at Scarva, and more sparingly near 

 Newry. Mr. Waddell has sent it to me from Saintfield, and he and 

 Canon Lett are agreed in calling it " a very common Co. Down plant." 

 I know nothing exactly like it in Great Britain, though the Rev. A. 

 Ley has found a form which recalls it in Bolston Wood, Herefordshire. 



R. Boraeanus, Genev.— 38. Aghaderg Glebe (locality now de- 

 stroyed), hb. Lett\ Probably this species, but if so, untypical in the 

 scarcity of the stem-pricklets and in the rather prickly panicle.] 



R. cinerosus, Rogers. — *38. Caskum, Aghaderg; in one spot, rather 

 abundant. This is the fourth Irish county in which this species has now 

 been found. 



R. mucronatus, Blox. — 37. Armagh, Praeger ! 38. Very local and 

 variable. Saintfield, Waddell 1 Aghaderg, Lett\ Bdenderry (typical) ; 

 Mile Hill Lane (a nearly eglandular form) ; Knock Iveagh (apparently 

 this), hb. Lett ! 39. Cave Hill, Belfast, Druce ! 



R. Gelertll, Frider. — *37. Near the Dublin road, Newry. *3g. 

 Glynn ; in considerable quantity ; a handsome exceptionally glandular 

 form. 



R. anglosaxonlcus, Gelert. — 37. Newry; Tartaraghan (form near 

 subsp. raduloides), Praegerl 



Subsp. vestltlformls, Rogers. — *38. Anacloan ; in one lane 



several bushes ; a form with exceptionally long prickles. New 



for Ireland. 



R. Borrerl, Bell Salt. — 37. Near Newry, Praeger \ and Lett\ Lough 



Gilly, Druce ! Quite typical, and in great quantity at Scarva and by the 



Dublin road, Newry. *38. Aghaderg. Anacloan. Locally abundant. 



R. Drejerl, G. Jensen. — "39. Glynn; hillside by limestone quarries. 

 Typical, but seen only in small quantity. 



Subsp. hitoernicus, Rogers.— *37. Scarva, very abundant. 

 Near Newry ; in no great quantity. 38. Common at Aghaderg 

 and Anacloan, over a large area. Near Banbridge. Saintfield, 

 Waddelll In wood-borders and hedges, with the next. 

 R. dunensis, sp. (or subsp.) nov. — Stem bluntly angled, considerably 

 hairy, with scattered unequal armature, varying very greatly in amount, 

 but often quite Koehlerian in character. Prickles mostly slender from stout 

 base and rather short. Larger acicles and bristles often gland-tipped. Stalked 

 glands many, very unequal. Leaves very broad, always yellowish, con- 

 spicuously concave, opaque and thinly strigose above, at first softly hairy 

 beneath, with somewhat sinuate, sharply-pointed, compound teeth. Terminal 

 leaflet roundish -oval, with long acuminate point, and cordate base ; inter- 

 mediate exceptionally long, and usually over-lapping the subsessile basal ones. 

 Panicle with short close pyramidal top, and two or three distant lower racemose 

 branches, remarkably brown in upper half. Rachis slightly flexuose, with 

 patent brownish hair hiding the crowded, short-stalked glands ; gland- 

 tipped acicles exceeding hair rather few ; prickles weak, declining or 

 patent. Flowers cup-shaped. Sepals very glandular, brownish ; soon 

 rising, and often remaining erect. Petals narrow, faintly pinkish or 

 white. Stamens erect, exceeding styles. Carpels glabrous. Flowers
