78 NOTES ON THE FLORA OF BUXTON. 



have lost all good distinctive characters ; and in Ashwood Dale, up 

 to 300 yds., as in the Wye Valley generally, and at Chapel-en-le- 

 Frith, &c., to the north of Buxton, the prevalence of li. pallidm is 

 rivalled hy that of the Pi. diunetonun vav. concinnm mentioned in the 

 'Notes on the Flora of Matlock' (Journ. Bot. Nov. 1884), which, 

 I believe, is not distinguishable from the R. conjlifolius, y. purpureus 

 of Bab. Man. and Lond. Cat. The only other brambles that I saw 

 in the district were R. conjlifolius Sm. (chiefly good R. suhlitstris 

 Lees), R. ca;sias L. (scarce), R. ChcwKBinonis L. (Axe Edge only), 

 and a handsome nearly prostrate one on the hill above Miller's 

 Dale Railway-station (350 yds.), which (especially in the foliage) 

 reminded me of R. [jindUianm Lees, though clearly distinct from 

 it ; this Mr. Bagnall is inclined to name 7i. Saltcrl, putting it with 

 a similar plant which he finds in three of the Warwickshire woods, 

 and which has been accepted by Prof. Babington as the "i^. Salteri 

 of Bloxam " ; and also with another from Plympton St. Mary, 

 Devon, which Mr. Bloxam named R. Salteri for Mr. Briggs many 

 years ago. 



Rosa spinosissima L. Chapel-en-le-Frith. At Monsal Dale I 

 found some plants with red fruit. — R. tomentosa Sm. Chapel-en- 

 le-Frith, in good quantity. — R. scabriascida Sm. Wye Valley, 

 east of Miller's Dale, one or two large bushes. — R. canina L., 

 R. lutetiawi, and R. dunialis. Chapel-en-le-Frith. — R. biserrata 

 and R. urbica. Wye Valley, between Miller's Dale and Monsal 

 Dale. — R. arcatica. Near the top of the hill between Bugsworth 

 and Biver Groyt. — R. Renter ir In great abundance near Chapel- 

 en-le-Frith, and (with R. subcristata] at Monsal Dale. — R. coriifolia. 

 Hill above Cressbrook Dale. — R. Watsoni. Monsal Dale. — R. 

 vuiriiinata. Plentiful in Miller's Dale, especially (with A', iiwllissima 

 Willd.) on the hill opposite the railway-station. — R. arvensis Huds. 

 Bugsworth ; Miller's Dale. Buxton itself seems too high or too 

 exposed for any self-grown rose, though R. coriifolia and R. sub- 

 cristata grow luxuriantly at as great a height (350 yds,) on the hill 

 above Miller's Dale.
