100 ON THE RUBI LIST IN 'LONDON CATALOGUE,' ED. 9. 



reticulate, veined underneath ; petiole very short. Eaceme sub- 

 globose, terminal and axillary ; pedicels generally 2-flowered ; 

 bracts linear, pubescent. Flowers not seen. Legume oblong, 

 villose, obliquely raucronate, -| in. long, ^ in. broad, 2-seeded; 

 seeds reddish brown, oval, glabrous, smooth, nearly 2 lines long. 



This plant is allied to the preceding species, so I have placed it 

 in this genus. The seed, how^ever, is centrally or subcentrally 

 attached, bat the legume is almost flat.

R. RUDisW. &N. No. in Set, 16. 10 v.-c. (6, 13, 15, 17, 22-24, 

 34, 36, 57). I. 



R. PR.ERUPTORUM Boul. No. in Set, 15. 6 v.-c. (7, 9, 16, 20, 

 21, 64). [4, 23, 27] . A very marked plant as represented by the 

 Dorset specimens in the Set, but I am not sure that I have seen 

 quite the same from any other county. The name rests on Prof. 

 Babington's authority, Jonrn. But. 1878, 142, 143 ; 1886, 228. An 

 Anglesey and Carnarvonshire plant, discovered by Mr. J. E. Griffith, 

 and abundant in the Bangor neighbourhood, may perhaps best take 

 rank as a strongly marked var. of this. 



R. melanodermis Focke, Jnurn. But. 1890, 133; 1892, 302. 

 No. in Set, 17. 4 v.-c. (3, 9, 11, 34). Very distinct. Locally 

 abundant through the greater part of Dorset and S.W. Hants. 



R. Babingtonii Bell-Salt. Jonrn. But. 1886, 228. 15 v.-e. (5,9, 

 11, 12, 15-17, 22, 23, 27, 34, 36, 38, 49, 58). As I saw it last 

 summer in Berks and Surrey, easily recognized with its large 

 cylindrical panicle, densely hairy rachis with many small prickles 

 and sunken glands, short stamens, and patent fruiting sepals. The 

 supposed Pi. festivus from Crowell, referred to in Journ. Bot. 1893, 

 45, is, I believe, a form of this. 



[R. Lejeunei W. & N.] , var. b. ericetonon Lefvr. ? 7 v.-c. (9, 

 12, 14, 16, 17, 22, 36). [2-4, 38, 88] . It is doubtful whether true 

 Fi. Lejeunei exists in Britain. Dr. Focke thinks that the plant 

 found in the six vice-counties enumerated above is rather ericetormn 

 than Lejeunei. It is near R. Babin(/tonii, but differs by long stamens, 

 reflexed fruiting sepals, and a laxer and more pyramidal panicle, 

 with shorter hair, and more unequal armature. The leaflets are 

 also more narrowed to the base, and of a brighter green. Both 

 these plants will be included in Fascicle IV. of the Set, as there 

 is some uncertainty attached to the specimens already issued as 

 ''R. Lejeunei W. & N." (No. 42). 



R. cavatifolius p. J. Muell. Journ. Bot. 1892, 335. No. in 

 Set, 68. 8 v.-c. (2, 11, 17, 26, 28, 34-36). [21, 39] .
