182 NOTES ON ENGLISH RUBI. 



29. R. Lejeunei W. et N. — I have seen dried specimens only, 

 gathered by Mr. Briggs near Plymouth. Mr. James W. White has 

 sent me a specimen of a very hairy variety he has collected on the 

 Hobbie Walk, Clovelly, N. Devon. 



Cont. distrib. W. Germany, local near the Belgian frontier; 

 Belgium, France, N.W. Italy. 



30. R. mucronatus Blox. — I have seen it with Mr. Rogers at 

 several places around Bournemouth in S. Hants and Dorset. 

 The Plymouth plant having usually ternate leaves is somewhat 

 different. It happened that a continental botanist found hairy 

 antbers in the flowers of the first English specimen of R. mucronatus 

 he ever examined. This observation was sufficient for him to 

 think a German plant, determined by me as R. mucronatus, might 

 be different, and must receive a new name ; therefore he called it 

 R. atrichantherus, or " bramble with hairless anthers." If we were 

 to adopt tbis view nearly all our English R. mucronatus would have 

 to be considered as R. atrichantherus. From this example we can 

 learn how to make new species. 



Cont. distrib. N. Germany (district between the German Sea 

 and the Baltic) ; France. 



31. R. infestus W. et N. — I have seen dried specimens from 

 different parts of England. 



Cont. distrib* S. Sweden; Denmark (local); N.W. Germany. 



b. The whole stems rough from frequent seta. 



32. R. echinatus Lindl. Pu rudis Babgt. prius. — I have seen it 

 with Mr. Rogers and Mr. Briggs near Daggons, Dorset, and near 

 Buckland, S. Hants. R. discerptus P. J. Muell., I suppose, will 

 prove to be the same plant. 



Cont. distrib. W. Germany ?, France. 



33. R. radula W. — Frequent around Bournemouth. The plant 

 growing in this part of England is somewhat different in general 

 appearance from the German type, but it cannot be considered 

 as a well-marked variety. Further, I have seen R. radula near 

 Plymouth. 



Cont. diatrib. S. Sweden, Denmark, Germany, W. Austria, 

 Switzerland, N. France. 



34. R. rudis W. et N. — Stems usually quite hairless. Rachis 

 and branches of the spreading panicle covered with a thin close felt. 

 Glandular setse abundant but short. I have received a dried 

 specimen from Walton-on-Hill Heath, Surrey, collected by Mr. 

 W. H. Beeby. 



Cont. distrib. W. and E. Germany, Austria (local), Switzer- 

 land, France. 



35. R. anolosaxonicus Gelert. — I collected this bramble with 

 Mr. Rogers at Milton, S. Hants, near the station. According to 

 Mr. Gelert it is cultivated at Copenhagen from seeds sent from 

 Plymouth under the name of R. viacrophyllus. 



Cont. distrib. N.W. Germany (local), France.
