Britain. Under this I now believe must come Canon Lett's Armagh 

 (Tanderagee) and Antrim (Glendun) plants, for which I formerly 

 suggested the name R. gratus Focke. 



DiSCOLORES. 



E. argentatus P. J. Muell. ''=38. Aghaderg ; local. Apparently 

 rare in Ireland. 



B. rnsticaniis Merc. 87. Tartaraghan ; Armagh, Praeger ! 38. 

 Annaghdroghal ; Comber and Castle Espin, Waddell ! Ballin- 

 taggart, Lett ! Aghaderg, seen in two spots only, viz. Mile Hill Lane 

 and roadside towards I3anbridge. 89. Common, and especially 

 abundant near the sea. 



[B. puhescens Weihe. 38. Saintfield, WaddeJl ! Doubtfully 

 thus named by me, and in need of confirmation.] 



SiLVATICI. 



R. silvaticus Wh. & N. 37. Field south of Newry, near the 

 reservoir, hb. Lett ! Apparently this, but needing confirmation 

 here and in 38 (Milltown and Clonallen, Lett. Saintfield, ]Vaddell). 



B. mijrica Focke, var. hesperius Eogers. "''88. Lane north of 

 Banbridge. Not seen in fruit, but clearly not distinct from Mr. 

 Marshall's Mayo and Galway plant (Journ. Bot. 1896, 504), though 

 nearly eglandular in panicle, and so one step nearer to typical 

 B. wyrica.. 



B.macrophnllus\m\.kl^. 88. Saintfield, TlWrf^// ! Aghaderg: 

 wall near the Lough, quite in the open, for a good many yards ; a 

 conspicuous form with short roundish terminal leaflet and very 

 floriferous large-flowered panicle. 



Subsp. Schlechtendalii (Weihe). One of the most abundant and 

 characteristic brambles of this part of Ireland. 37. Scarva ; near 

 Newry. 88. Saintfield, Waddell I Aghaderg; Anacloan; Banbridge. 



Vestiti. 



B. micans Gren. & Godr. "87. Scarva. 88. Fairly frequent. 

 Banbridge, roadside near " Mutton Hill," a handsome highly 

 glandular form ; Aghaderg ; Anacloan. Confirms previous un- 

 certain record for Co. Down. '"89. Near Ballymena, about two 

 miles on the Larne Road ; a very strong form, F. A. Bogers ! 



Pi. hirtifolius Muell. & Wirtg. 38. Under this aggregate spe- 

 cies must certainly come a plant of Canon Lett's from Aghaderg, 

 which I have seen in the dried state more than once : and also one 

 from Saintfield collected by Mr. Waddell. They seem to go best 

 with my var. vwllissimus ; as probably do the Westmeath (Knock 

 Drin) plant, Linton], Mr. Marshall's from Mullaranny, West Mayo, 

 and Mr. Bailey's from Carnabridge to Portrush, Derry. 



B. pyramidalis Kalt. 37. Lurgan, Praeger ! Lane and bushy 

 ground near the reservoir on the Dublin Road, Newry. 88. Saint- 

 field, Waddell ! Carrick, Hanhurg ! Aghaderg, Lett ! abundant at 

 Ballynanny, Anacloan. Reported by Mr. Waddell as " common at 

 Saintfield and in most parts of the county." 39. Cave Hill, Dnicel 

 Cushendall ('" very little "), F. A. Bogers !
