12 ON SOME NORTH DEVON PLANTS. 



it elsewhere. (2) is one of the commonest wood brambles in the 

 Lyn Valleys. I named it R. / Sprennelii, Weilie, an arrangement 

 in which Mr. Briggs concurs; but Prof. Babington suggests 

 ? Guntheri.'' (3) and (4) plainly belong to the Glandulosi set, and 

 appeared to me to come nearest to Kcehleri and diversifolius 

 respectively, though differing considerably from them. Prof. 

 Babington inclines rather, though not without considerable doubt, 

 to name them (3) miitahilis and (4) Briggsii. (4) is distributed 

 throughout the district, and is especially abundant about the 

 borders of woods in W. Lyn Valley. (3) occurs frequently in 

 similar situations, but in less quantity, and appears to be identical 

 with a bramble which Mr. Briggs has collected " near Fancy, 

 neighbourhood of Plymouth," and which he labels '' Rubus near 

 pallidus, Weihe; R. apricus, Wimm.?" I have also found it near 

 Fingie Bridge, by the Teign.
