SHOET NOTES. 



Some North Devon Eubi. — Towards the end of last July I 

 passed over some well-trodden ground between Ilfracombe and 

 Clovelly, on the coast of N. Devon, where it is unlikely that much 

 has remained unnoticed by previous observers. But as on this 

 excursion I met with two plants that are not recorded for the vice- 

 county in Top. Bot. ed. ii., I am induced to offer my notes on the 

 Eubi of the locality, premising that attention was given only to 

 those forms that occurred in quantity : — Rubus Lmdleianus Lees. 

 Hedges between Ilfracombe and Lee ; Morthoe ; Clovelly. — R. 

 rhamnifolius W. & N. Woollacombe ; Morthoe; Clovelly. — R.rusli- 

 canus Merc. Very abundant all along the coast in hedges and on 

 furzy downs by tiie sea. — R. micans Godr.=JZ. adscitus Genev. 

 Plentiful on the slopes adjacent to the " Hobbie " at Clovelly ; also 

 at Westward Ho ! Name given by Dr. Focke. I may remark that 

 the name micans does not occur in British authors, and that neither 

 it nor adscitus is made use of in the Consp. Flor. Europ. Nyman 

 has six columns of names in his Eubus Index, but those of 

 Genevier and other French botanists are not mentioned. However,
