54 EXTRACTS FROM REPORT OF BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB, 1887. 



Eyre de Crespigny. New record for Vice-county 16. Eoadside, 

 near Bodorgan Station, Anglesey, August, 1887. — J. E. Gtriffith. 

 Is the plant so named by Dr. Focke for Mr. Baker. 



R. foUosus Weibe. Ansley Coalfield, Warwickshire, 20th August, 

 1887. This locality was marked on my ordnance maps by the Rev. 

 A. Bloxam. It is that locality recorded in the 3rd edition of 

 * English Botany,' under the name of Annesley Coalfield, and by 

 Prof. Babington, in his notes on Paihi, under the name of Bunnesley 

 Coalfield. This plant, in the above locality, and in and about the 

 Hartshill stone quarries, forms a special feature in the flora. It 

 also occurs in the Hartshill Hayes, and near Moncetter, all of 

 which stations are in the basin of the River Anker, and on the 

 coal measures of Warwickshire ; but I have never found it in any 

 other part of this county. It appears to me to differ materially 

 from the Devonshire plant. — J. E. Bagnall. 



R. Piu'chasii Blox. Wood, Howie Hill, Herefordshire, 18th 

 July, 1887. — AuGusTiN Ley. "Correct, I think." — W. 0. Focke. 

 "What is most undoubtedly the same as this occurs in many places 

 in Devon and Cornwall, and I am delighted at being able, through 

 the receipt of the specimen from Howie Hill, to get a name for it. 

 I had thought it near R. Kcehleri Weihe, and cavatifolius P. J. Miill. 

 The sharply-pointed leaflets, with formal outline, and the light 

 yellowish-green hue of the plant generally, are striking features. 

 I have specimens from Bircham and Shalaford, Egg Buckland; 

 Passage Wood, Revelstoke ; and Caton, all in S.Devon; Anthony; 

 Sheviocke ; and the Camel Valley." — T. R. A. Briggs. New record 

 for Vice-county 3. 



R. ccBsius L., hybrid with R. Idaus. Between Hipley Rock and 

 Longcliff Wharf, on the road from Ashbourne to Matlosk, Derby- 

 shire, 11th July, 1887. I send a fair supply of this, gathered in 

 June last. I add a few more, gathered in the end of autumn, 

 showing that the plant does not fruit, and which may be sent out 

 with the others, as far as they will go. The stems of this curious 

 plant are as erect as those of the raspberry, but when they touch a 

 loose wall of stones they send out long shoots, creeping amongst the 

 stones, just as R. ccesius would do. — W. H. Purchas. "Correct." — 

 W. 0. Focke. 



Rosa Ripartii Desegl. Barnes Common, Surrey, 30th June, 1886. 

 — W. R. Linton. This is intermediate between the plant reported 

 by me in Journ. Bot. under above name, and ordinary R. spinosisshna 

 L. Prof. Crepin writes: "It is not var. Ripartii, which is dis- 

 tinguished by its compound glandular teeth, and by glands on the 

 lower surface of the leaflets. Mr. Linton's plant is scarcely double- 

 toothed ; it is a variation from typical R. spiiiosissima.'' 



R. uf/restis Savi {R. sepium Thuill). Wytham, Berks; Beckley, 

 Oxon. Rev. W. Moyle Rogers discovered this plant in Oxon, a 

 single bush occurring in a field lately devoted to foxes, and now 

 assuming the aspect of a bushy common. In Wytham, only one 

 bush, so far as I could find, occurred, but this was a much better 

 and more spreading plant than the Beckley one. The Berks Rosa 

 differs slightly from the Oxon, and neither appears to be quite
