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



Var. b. rivularis Mnell. & Wirtg. 3 v.-c. (3, 16, 86). 

 described by Dr. Focke in Koch's Si/n. ed. 3: — "Peduncles 



Thus 

 densely 

 bristly and aciculate. Stalk of term. It. longer. Otherwise like li. 

 serpens. Damp springy places in woods." So far as I have yet 

 seen it, a very slender form, not so glandular as serpens, and with 

 much weaker prickles. 



R. HiRTus W. & K. (sp. collect.). 35 v.-c. (2-9, 11, 13, 15-18, 

 20, 22-24, 27, 34-40, 42, 44, 48, 52, 55, 62-64, 73). The type is 

 not known for certain in Britain; so the name is used here only 

 in a loose aggregate sense, the comital numbers including vars. 

 b, toe., as well as other hirtus forms not distinguished by segregate 

 names. 



Var. b. rutundifoliiis Bab. Km/. Bot. 3rd ed. Supp. 117; Journ. 

 Bot. 1893, 6. 10 v.-c. (2-5, 8, 36-38, 55, 63). [27] . With leaves 

 chiefly 5-nate in some neighbourhoods where it grows abundantly, 

 as in the Teign Valley, S. Devon, and on Chard Common, 

 S. Somerset. 



Var. c. Kaltenhackii (Metsch.), Juurn. Bot. 1893, 7. No. in Set, 

 48. 7 v.-c. (4, 6, 8, 16, 34, 42, 46). [12]. 



Var. d. flaccidifolins (P. J. Muell.). 1 v.-c. (24). Named by 

 Dr. Focke for Rev. E. F. Linton. Apparently somewhat allied to 

 B.. foliosxis. 



"Var. e. ruhu/lnosus (P. J. Muell.). 3 v.-c. (3, 36, 49). [15]. 

 A very handsome plant, as it grows in Bickleigh Vale, S. Devon, 

 with stronger prickles than are usual in the hirtns group, sepals 

 loosely reflexed after flowering, and the stalked glands on the 

 panicle nearly all short, — " characters uncommon among the true 

 Glandulosi," as Dr. Focke has pointed out. 



R. TERETicAULis P. J. Mucll. Joum. Bot. 1893, 7. 1 v.-c. (27). 



R. ocHRODERMis A. Ley, Journ. Bot. 1893, 16, 46 ; B. E. C. 

 Bep. 1893, 412. 3 v.-c. (6, 36, 43). [16] . 



R. BRiTANNicus Rogers, Journ. Bot. 1894, 49 (for this and the 

 next). 2 v.-c. (17, 88). 



R. VELATus Lefvr. 2 v.-c. (35, 36). 



R. DUMETORUM W. & N. Joum. Bot. 1893, 9. 59 v.-c. (1-18, 

 20-24, 26-30, 32, 34-40, 43, 45, 47, 49-52, 55-60, 62-65, 69, 70, 

 86, 88, 89, 106). I. Including and timinhj consisting of the 

 following forms. 



a. ferox Weihe. No. in Set, 49. 17 v.-c. (4, 6, 9-11, 14, 15, 

 17, 18, 27, 36, 38, 39, 52, 57, 62, 64). 



b. diversi/olius (Lindl.). 51 v.-c. (All given above for /.'. diuiw- 

 torwa, except 15, 27, 28, 45, 56, 70, 88, 89). I. 



c. pilosus W. & N. 4 v.-c. (2, 32, 35, 38). 



d. ruhrifioriis Purchas, Journ. But. 1894, 139, 187. 1 v.-c. (57). 



e. tuberculattis Bab. ; " B. scahrosiis P. J. Muell." Lond. Cat. ed. 8. 

 83 v.-c. (8-11, 13, 17, 28, 26-29, 32, 34-38, 40, 45, 55, 57, 62-64, 

 70, 86, 88, 89). I fear that at least two or three forms are com- 

 bined here. Dr. Focke thinks that Mueller's scahrosus is probably 

 R. cmsius X radula. So the original name tiiberculatus is here 

 restored. 



f. concinnxis Warren, Juiuiu Bot. 1870. 4 v.-c. (86, 55, 57, 62).
