them to differences of climate and soil. And in this connec- 

 tion I may explain that the addition to a specific name of 

 ' f. umbrosa ' ma}' imply no more than that the conditions 

 under which the plant in question grows are such as to pro- 

 duce much the same modification of character in a species as 

 we commonly expect under the influence of shade." 



Additions to the county or vice-county lists of " Irish 

 Topographical Botany " are here indicated by having the 

 count}' names printed in capitals: — 



Rubus arg'enteus, Wb. & N. (R. erythrintn-, Geuev., anct. brit. prius). 



5. Cork E. B}- the Blackwater east of Mallow. 

 R. Selmerl, Liudeb. 



15. Galway S.E. In a wood at Woodford. 

 R. Colemanni, Blox. 



5. Cork E. The Gleii, Cork, 1906 (/. itmbrosd). Mr. Rogers writes 

 of this — "A most iuteresting discovery and addition to Irish 

 brambles. Focke suggested the name for a Gleudalough 

 (Wicklow) plant of Praeger's, but I felt obliged to characterise 

 it as 'doubtful,' and I know of no other Irish record." ^ 

 R. hirtifolius, Muell & Wirtg. 



5. Cork E. The Glen, Cork, 1906, a form between type and var. 

 danicns, Focke. A very beautiful plant, new to Co. Cork. 

 R. iricus, Rogers. 



9. Clare. By the river Fergus near Ennis. Mr. Rogers informs 

 me that this species, which was supposed to be endemic in 

 Ireland, has lecentlj' been found in West Cornwall (quite 

 typical), and also in Wales (a small form). This handsome 

 and striking bramble is very abundant in many parts of 

 Galway and Clare. 

 R, oig^ocladus, Muell. & Lefv., f. umbrosa. 



5. Cork E. Plentiful at The Glen, Cork. Of these specimens Mr. 

 Rogers writes — "I agree with you in putting this to R. oigo- 

 dadtis, M. & ly. — as a modified form (I suppose) through being 

 shade-grown. A very handsome plant." 

 R. Criffithlanus, Rogers (forma). 



5. Cork E. By the Blackwater east of Mallow, and by the same 

 river near Fermoy, 1907. Of the Mallow specimens IVIr, 

 Rogers says — "This cannot, I think, be kept distinct from my 



A'. Griffithiamis On the strength of these Mallow 



specimens, Griffithianus must now, in my opinion, be accepted 



^ Since this was written I have had a note from Mr. Rogers, in which 

 he says — " vSince I returned your specimens, I have had a packet from 

 Mr. Scull}' which contained a North Kerry (' Thicket near Glena 

 Cottage, Killarney ') plant, which recalled at once to me your ' Glen, 

 1906,' R, Colemanni, f. umbrosa. I should give the same name to both."
