82 ADDITIONAL NOTES ON MR. W. R. ELLIOTl's HEPATIC^. 



Ley. A widely spread and easily recognized bramble, as yet 

 apparently not found out of the British Isles. 



R. RADULA (sp. collect.). 63 v.-c. (2-14, 16, 17, 20-27, 29-32, 

 35-40, 43, 45, 49, 52, 55-58, 61-65, 67, 69, 70, 72-74, 79, 83, 85, 

 86, 88, 89, 91, 103, 105, 106, 110). I. 



a. B. radula Weihe, R. melanoxylon Blox. Juurn. Bot. 1894, 

 46, 47 (for this and the two next vars.). 18 v.-c. (5, 22-24, 27, 

 30, 38, 39, 57, 58, 61, 65, 69, 85, 86, 103, 106, 110). 



Var. b, aniilicainis Rogers. No. in Set, 39 ("/t. ;«(/»/« Weihe "). 

 10 v.-c. (2-5, '8, 9, 11, 36, 38, 40). 



Var. c. ecJdnatoidcs Rogers. No. in Set, 65. 16 v.-c. (16, 17, 

 20,21,23,27,35,36,38,49,52,57,62,64,65,67). I. [6,22,39]. 



Var. d. sertijioms (P. J. Muell.) ? Jouni. Bot. 1892, 300. 4 v.-c. 

 (9, 20, 35, 36). Dr. Focke is not yet satisfied that this plant is 

 either correctly named or correctly placed. 



R. poDOPHYLLUs P. J. Mucll. Joum. But. 1887, 23 ; 1892, 233 ; 

 Bot. Bee. Club Bep. 1884-6, 121. 9 v.-c. (3, 16, 39, 48, 50, 57, 58, 

 63, 65). [59] . This name covers a considerable range of variation. 

 Hence the difficulty of fixing the group to whicli the species belongs. 

 This place, among the Baduhv (now preferred for it by Dr. Focke), 

 best suits the stronger forms found in the North of England. 



R. ECHiNATus Lindl. No. in Set, 40. 48 v.-c. (2-12, 16-18, 

 20-25, 27, 32-38, 40, 41, 43, 46, 47, 49, 50, 55-58, 62-64, 67, 69, 

 76, 81, 86, 95). I. 



R. oiGOCLADos Muell. & Lefvr. ; B. fusco-ater Auet. Brit, (in part). 

 "/?. a/dculatus Bor. Ft. t. ii. 196 (W.' & N. ?)"; Genev. £'ss. Man. 

 p. 135 ; Joum. Bot. 1893, 7. 8 v.-c. (3-5, 23, 27, 36, 38, 53). 

 [34] . Near to B. mucronatm, as this obviously is, its closest 

 alliance seems to be with the two plants which I here place after it 

 as vars., in what I think most of us will regard as their natural 

 position, near Bi. radula and B. echinatus, but distinct from both. 



Var. b. Newbonldii (Bab.), Joum. Bot. 1887, 20; 1892, 300. 

 No. in Set, 66. 7 v.-c. (25 or 26, 27, 36, 40, 58, 63, 85). I. 



Var. c. BJoxamianus (Colem.), Joum. Bot. 1892, 300. 5 v.-c. 

 (4, 5, 38, 55, 57). ^rj,^ ^^ continued.) 



ADDITIONAL NOTES on Mr. W. R. ELLIOTT'S HEPATIC^. 



By Antony Gepp, M.A., F.L.S. 



Our eminent hepaticologist. Dr. Richard Spruce, at the time 

 of his death was engaged in the preparation of a paper on the 

 Hepatics collected in the islands of St. Vincent and Dominica by 

 Mr. W. R. Elliott on behalf of the West India Committee. That 

 paper, under the title " Hepaticfe Elliottianae," has recently been 

 published in the Joum. Linn. Soc. {Botany), xxx. 331-372, tt. 20-30. 

 Two of the species given in Dr. Spruce's list have, so far as I know, 

 never been described. The following notes were drawn up with a 

 view to supplying the deficiency ; they were, however, sent in too 

 late for insertion in the paper.
