NOTES ON THE RUBI OF WARWICKSHIEE. 145 



hedges aucl woods. Local. (1) i3entley Park aud Heath; Meri- 

 vale ; near Stockingford. A small form that both Prof. Babiugton 

 and Mr. Bloxam thought to be this variety abundant on heath- 

 lands, Sutton Park. 



46. Ft. pallidus, Weihe. — In woods and hedges, and rather com- 

 mon, and, so far as I have seen, distributed throughout the county. 



47 is the woodland form of this variety, frequent in our shady 

 woods. This is the B. jxdlidm of Bloxam's fasciculus ; his R. 

 Koehleri was the more robust hedge plant of this variety. Mr. 

 Bloxam pointed out both these plants to me in the Twycross 

 district. 



48. Pi. fusco-ater, Weihe. — On hedge-banks. Very rare. (1) 

 Lane at Minworth, determmed by Prof. Babington ; the plant 

 alluded to in " Notes on Eubi," ' Journal of Botany,' 1878,' p. 176. 

 This is very unlike Mr. Bloxam's li. fusco-ater ; specimens I send 

 numbered 49, from the Lickey Hills, Worcester, are authenticated 

 by Mr. Bloxam as this species. (2) Near Oakley Wood I find 

 plants similar to the Lickey plant. This plant is also recorded in 

 the 'British Eubi,' 216, from (1) Sutton Park, and (2) Wyken 

 Lane, near Coventry. I have not succeeded in finding it in either 

 locality. 



50. li. emersistylus, a. Ijagnallii, Blox. (Journ. Bot., 1878, 

 p. 175-6. This is abundant in (2) Haywoods, and was considered 

 by Mr. Bloxam to be a truly distinct plant. As he grew it in his 

 garden at Harborough Magna for some years, he had an oppor- 

 tunity of carefully studying the plant, and comparing with IL 

 Brigijsii, which he also cultivated. 



51. R. diversifolius, Lindl. — In hedges and on heathy waysides. 

 Locally abundant. (1) Middletou Heath; lanes about Wishaw ; 

 Coleshill Heath ; Olton Canal Bank. (2j Hill Clump, Honington, 

 F. Townsend ; lanes about Stratford-on-Avon and Alcester ; Shel- 

 field Green. A form which Prof. Babington considers near Pi. 

 horr if actus, Weihe, occurs in a wood (2) near Tardebig. 



52 is a variety of R. diversifolius, which I have only seen in one 

 locality, in a hedge in the lane from Brandon to Binley Common ; 

 (2) where it is abundant. On this Prof. Babington remarks : — 

 "It is very like the plant noticed from Waith. in ' The British 

 Eubi,' p. 224. At present I place it under /i. diversifolius. It is a 

 very beautiful plant." My own opinion was that it was Paihus 

 Kcehleri, (3. infestus. 



53. R. Lejeunii, Weihe. — In woods and on hedge-banks. Bare. 



(1) Friars Wood, Bentley Park ; lane near Bentley Park, border of 

 Ironstone Wood, Oldbury. All these localities are within a radius 

 of one mile. 



54. Pi. Guntlieri, Weihe. — In woods, on damp heath-lands and 

 on hedge-banks. Very local. (1) Hartshill Wood, 1878, fairly 

 abundant. Friars Wood, Bentley Park ; wood near Hoare Park, 

 Shustoke ; Ironstone Wood, Oldbury ; on banks in a lane near 

 Atherstone ; Sutton Park, in woods and on damj) heathy places. 



(2) Fernhill Wood; Haywoods; Baddesley Clinton; Old Park 

 near Alcester.
