Marston Green; Hampton-in-Arden ; Shelly Coppice, near Solihull. 

 Confirmed by Prof. Babington from this station. (2) Near War- 

 wick, near Stratford-on-Avon ; Rugby. 



64. Pi. corylifolius, var. conjum/eiis, Bab. — In hedges and on 

 hedge-banks. Very local. (1) Sutton Park, named by Prof. 

 Babington. Lane near Solihull. (2) Shrewley Common; Stoke 

 Heath, on banks, abundant; Combe Fields, near Coventry; Dun-

Q5. R. corijlit'olius, var. purpurea, Bab. — In hedges and on 

 hedge-banks. Locally abundant. (1) Very abudant in hedges and 

 on banks about Minworth and Curdworth ; lane by Arley Station. 

 A very marked form of this near Astley, having the panicle quite 

 as leafy as in IL folios us. (2) Near AVarwick ; Hatton ; abundant 

 in the Banbury Road, from Stratford to Eatington ; bridle road 

 near Luddington. This is a very marked form, formerly named 

 for me, by Rev. A. Bloxam, R. concinnus, Baker. 



66. R. spinosissimus, Blox., is a very prickly variety of R. cory- 

 lifolius, of which I have no duplicate ; this is very abundant in 

 Monkspath Street, near Shirley. A form like Bloxam's fasciculus 

 specimen, labelled R. deltoideus, Mull., occurs in a wet lane near 

 Coleshill. 



67. R. althaifolius, Host. — In hedges, and on hedge-banks. 

 Rather rare. (2) Wykeu Lane, near Coventry, 1880. Hearsal 

 Common, near Coventry, 1881. In a hedge near Salford Priors; 

 in hedges near Alcester, on the road to Great Alne ; rough pas- 

 tures near Honington Hall, 1880. Rounshill Lane, near Kenil- 

 worth. 



67'''. This is a form that seems between althmfulms and ccBsius ; 

 it occurs in lias banks near (2) Bidford. 



68. -ft. tuberculatus, Bab. — In hedges. Local. (1) Lanes near 

 Shirley ; Little Packington, near the Rectory ; lane near Ridge 

 Lane, Bentley Park. (2) Hill Clump, Honington, F. Townsend. 

 The specimens from some of these districts will compare well with 

 specimens I received from the Hon. J. L. Warren.

 Locally abundant. (1 ) Drayton Bushes, named by Prof. Babington ;

72. R. ciBsius, var. — A variety abundant in Alveston Pastures, 

 wood near Stratford-on-Avon ; probably var. b. tenuis. 



73. R. casius, var., from Oversley Mill, near Alcester, is a very 

 remarkable form. The nearest approach to this is a specimen I 

 have of Mr. Bloxam's, wdiich he calls R, aesiiis, intermedins.
