Rydberg: Notes on Rosaceae 135 



Alaska and Yukon, and that Batidaea subarctica Greene was 

 based upon them. I therefore admitted this as a questionable 

 species. It is probably the same as Rubns idaeiis canadensis 

 Richards. Numerous specimens have been seen from Alaska, 

 Yukon, and Athabasca, where it is the common species. The fol- 

 lowing eastern specimens also belong here: 



Newfoundland: 1894, Robinson & Schrenk; WagJiorne; Hoive 

 &" Lang Qig; Sornberger 223; St. Johns, Williamson 814. 



Labrador: Lanse au Clair, 1894, Waghorne. 



St. Pierre: Bois Brule, Arsene. 



Quebec: Seven Islands, C. B. Robinson 864; Bic, Williamson 

 1217. 



Nova Scotia: Yarmouth, Howe & Lang yi. 



Michigan: Houghton, 1893, £/>'. 



Minnesota: Duluth, Rydberg 8305. 



Rubns carolinianns Rydb. All the specimens referred to 

 R. strigosus from the mountains of North Carolina differ from the 

 ordinary R. strigosus of the northern states in the densely retrorsely 

 glandular hispid and also puberulent stem. Besides, I have seen no 

 specimens whatever of any red raspberry from any station between 

 northern Virginia and the mountains of North Carolina. R. 

 carolinianns may be nothing more than a geographical variety 

 of R. strigosus, but as it evidently stands in the same relation to it 

 as R. melanolasius , R. peramoenus , R. viburnif alius, and R. sub- 

 arcticus, I admitted it as a species in the North American Flora. 



North Carolina: Mt. Mitchell, 1897, Biltmore Herbarium 

 5685; Black Mountain, 1853, Gibbes; Andrews Bold, Great Smoky 

 Mountains, Beardslee & Kofoid. 



Rubus Egglestonii Blanchard. This was first recorded as R. 

 idaeus anomalus Arrh. by Fernald,* but it is not the same as the 

 European plant. Mr. Blanchardf points out that it stands in 

 somewhat the same relation to R. strigosus that var. anomalus does 

 to R. idaeus, glandular hairs being present in R. strigosus and R. 

 Egglestonii, but absent in R. idaeus and the var. anomalus. The 

 latter is closely related to R. idaeus, differing in no respect from 

 R. idaeus except in the usually simple, entire or lobed and rounded
