144 NOTES ON THE RUBI OF WARWICKSHIRE. 



thyrsijiorus in ' Kubi Germ.' (tab. 34). I also find it abundant in 

 Roun skill Lane, Keuilwortli. 



34. li. hystric, Weihe. — In woods, and rarely on banks. Very 

 local. (1) Darnelhurst, Sutton Park; Hoare Park, near Shustoke ; 

 lane by I3entley Park; field path near Ansley Coal-field; Arley 

 Wood ; lane from Mancetter to Oldbury. (2) Combe Woods ; 

 Crackley Wood, Kenilwortli. 



35. /«. rosaceus, Weilie. — In woods, thickets, and hedges. Very 

 local, but abundant in some stations. (1 ) Thicket near Hoare Park, 

 Shustoke. Very abundant ; near Meriden Shafts and Boultbie 

 Wood; Ballard's Green, Aidey. (2) Near Corley; abundant in 

 Combe Woods, near Brinklow ; Alveston Pastures, near Stratford- 

 on-Avon. From all these stations what I think is tyx^ical B. 

 rosaceus ; a very distinct plant h-om the plant Mr. Bloxam called li. 

 hystrix. The above I send from three stations. 



36. U. scaler, Weihe. — In shady woods, on damp heath-lands, 

 and marty banks. Local, but abundant in most of the stations. 

 (1) Sutton Park, abundant ; Trickley Copj)ice, Middleton. (2) 

 Rounshill Lane, Kenilwortli; Old Park, near Warwick ; lanes near 

 Hewell Grange. This is a coarse, hairy, glandular form, with 

 lobate serrate leaves and white flowers ; calyx clasping or patent 

 from the ripe fruit. 



37. jR. scaler, from Sutton Park, but very local there ; it was 

 confirmed by Mr. Bloxam as exactly his R. scaler. This grows 

 with the type, but is always a very distinct -looking plant ; having 

 flat coriaceous leaves, less coarsely toothed, stem much less hau*y, 

 setose, and prickly, panicle more open and a more erect habit. 



38. li. ritdis, Weihe. — In hedges and bushy jDlaces. Local, but 

 occurring at intervals all through the county. (1) Sutton Park; 

 lanes about Hurley ; over Whitacre ; Ansley ; Oldbiu-y ; Shelly ; 

 Soliluill. (2) Compton Wynyates, F. Toimsend? Oakley Wood; 

 Leek Wootton ; Kenilworth ; Corley Moor ; Arrow ; Oversley 

 Wood. 



39. it. riidis, YSLV.microphyllus, Blox. MS. — On heathy footways. 

 Apparently rare. I have only seen it on (1) heathy waysides near 

 Middleton. (2) Marly banks near Leek Wootton. 



40. 41, and 42. R. Radida, Weihe. — In woods, hedges, and 

 thickets ; on heaths, banks, and waysides. Common throughout 

 the county, but varying greatly. I have not discriminated between 

 the forms in my note-book, but send three of the most marked 

 forms of our district. 



43, 44*, 44'''''. it. KoeJderi, Weihe; verus, Bab. — In woods, 

 hedges, and banks. Very local. (1) Kingsbury Wood; Slowly 

 Hill, Shustoke ; meadows near Maxtoke Castle ; Sutton Park ; 

 Four Oakes, near Sutton (this form is an approach to the R. dicer- 

 sifulius) ; road fi-om Honily to Balsall Street. (2) Combe Pastures, 

 near Coventry. R. KoeJderi verus seems to be a plant very nearly 

 approaching R. bloxam it on the one hand, and R. dicersifolius on 

 the other, varying more than the other two varieties of this sub- 

 species. 



45. it. Koekleri, Weihe ; b. injestus, Bab. — On hedge-banks, in
