NOTES ON THE RUBI OP WARWICKSHIKE . 143 



Heath; Arley. (2) Near Coventry; Eugby, Kenilworth, War- 

 wick. Very typical and abundant on Kenilworth Heath. The 

 plants about Solihull I pointed out to Mr. Edwin Lees in 1876, 

 and he confirmed the nomenclature. 



29"'. R. macyopJujUus, var. — A marked form, which I find in 

 quarries near Hartshili ; this I have provisionally called B. 

 Babingtonii. It seems nearly related to the macrojphyllus group. 

 Prof. Babington says it is unlike any form in his extensive her- 

 barium. 



30. Fi. macrophi/Uus, var. £. (jlabratus. — In woods, hedges, 

 thickets. Very local, and seen only in the Tame Basin at present. 

 (1) Sutton Park; Minworth Lane, named by Prof. Babington. 

 Woods near Solihull; main road from Hampton-in-Arden to 

 Meriden ; Marston Green. 



30''\ Fi. macro pliijll as, var. — A peculiar form, from Sutton Park, 

 allied I think to the above. It was named by Mr. Bloxam Pi. ramosas, 

 but does not seem to be at all like any variety of that bramble. 



31. Fi. macronalatas, Bor. — In hedges, banks, and woods. 

 Locally abundant in the Tame Basin; rare in the Avon Basin. 



(1) Hartshili Wood, abundant in a deep shady dingle there. 

 Bentley Park ; near Atherstone on the Tamworth Eoad, Marston 

 Green; Trickley Coppice, Middleton. (2) Dilke Lane, Eowington. 

 The plants in Bentley Park and Hartshili Wood are more glan- 

 dular than the type, and are probably the E. festivus, Mull. The 

 Eowington plant is exactly the plant distributed by Mr. Bloxam in 

 his fasciculus ; it is always a ternate-leaved plant with a round 

 pilose stem. 



31*. Fi. Borreri, Salter. — On heaths and heathy footways. 

 Very local. This can scarcely be separated from R. Sprengelii, 

 Weihe. What I call this variety I find on heath-lands. ( 1) Sutton 

 Park ; lanes about Solihull and Shirley ; ColeshiU Heath. 



(2) Dunchurch Eoad, Eugby ; Cathiron Lane, near Eugby. 



32. Fi. Sprengelii, Weihe. — In woods and on shady banks, 

 Eather rare, but abundant in some of the stations. (1) Sutton 

 Park ; Chelmsley Wood ; Featherstone Coppice, Solihull ; Ansley 

 Coal-field. 



Fi. rabicolor, Blox. MS. — Prof. Babington thinks my specimens 

 collected from Mr. Bloxam's old station are not correct (the place 

 was marked on my Ordnance Map by Mr. Bloxam). Probably mine 

 is another plant ; the hedges are very frequently cut down, and the 

 plant may have been destroyed. Dr. Syme records it from ''near 

 Mancetter, W^arwickshire {Rev. A. Bloxam), from which place he 

 sent me specimens." I have specimens from the same bush given 

 me by Mr. Bloxam, but have no duj)licates. 



33. R. Bloxamil, Lees. — In woods, hedges, on heath-lands, and 

 heathy waysides. Locally common. (1) Hartshili Wood, abun- 

 dant 1880. Ansley Coal-field Heath ; Arley ; Coleshill Heath ; 

 Middleton Heath ; Sutton Park; Solihull, Honily. (2) Lanes about 

 Brandon ; Kenilworth ; and Allesley. 



33*. Fi. Blod-aniii, var. — A form of this from hedges in a lane 

 near Solihull : this Prof. Babington says closely resembles the R.
