HEREFORDSHIRE RUBI. 157 



occur in Herefordshire which merit attention, but which remain at 

 present uuidentified with any named continental forms. 



R. NEMORALis P. J. Miiell. In woods ; very rare ? Only once 

 picked, in the Mynde Woods, near the centre of the county. The 

 specimens were seen by Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, and referred by 

 him without hesitation to typical B. nemoralU. First notice, 

 Journ. Bot. 1895, 48. 



Var. b. GLABRATus Bab. Flora, 95. Widely spread in Hereford- 

 shire, in woods or on rough banks, and locally abundant. Rigg's 

 Wood, and several other woods in the south of the county ; occurring 

 also in the eastern and central districts. 



Var. c. SiLURUM A. Ley. Rough hilly woods and pastures ; 

 very local in Herefordshire. Almost confined to the neighbourhood 

 of Presteign and Kington, in the north-west of the county, in parts 

 of which it is rather abundant. Further west, among the hills of 

 Radnor and Breconshire, it is one of the most abundant brambles. 



R. puLCHERRiMus Neum. Flora, 93 (as B. inacrophyllus W. var. 

 lunbrosHs). Scattered throughout the county, both in woods and on 

 hilly banks, but by no means the abundant bramble in Hereford- 

 shire which it becomes in more hilly districts. Unknown in the 

 eastern districts of the county. The forma setosa mentioned by the 

 Rev. W. Moyle Rogers (Journ. Bot. 1895, 48) is found at Welsh 

 Newton, in the south-west. This might well be accorded a place 

 among the Badulo', but is kept here in deference to Mr. Rogers's 

 views. 



R. LiNDEBERGii P. J. Muell. Local and rare in Herefordshire, 

 and only observed at a few stations in the hilly parts of the county. 

 Hatfield in the east, and in tlie neighbourhood of Kington and 

 Presteign in the north. First found in 1893 ; first notice, Journ. 

 Bot. 1895, 49. 



R. DUMNONiENsis Bab. Rare in Herefordshire, and only twice 

 seen. Howie Hill and Fownhope, both in the south of the county. 

 First found, 1891 ; first record, Bot. Exch. Club Bep. 1891, 327. 



R. MERcicus Bagnall, var. b. bracteatus Bagnall. Discovered 

 in 1895 in hedges at Moseley, in the north of the county. Other 

 stations will doubtless be added. Not recorded for any of the 

 neighbouring counties. 



R. viLLicAULis (sp. collect.), var. b. Selmeri (Lindeb.). Flora, 

 518 (as B. affinis W. & N.). Surprisingly rare in Herefordshire, 

 and only known at two widely separated stations. Orcop, in the 

 south ; I3rampton Bryan, in the north. 



R. RHOMBiFOLius Weihe. Flora, 90 (under B. Salteri Bab.) ; 

 96 (under B. Borreri Bell-Salt.). Rare; seen only in three widely 

 separated stations, in the south, north, and west. First record, 

 Bot. Exch. Club Bep. 1884, 104. 



R. GRATus Focke. Only seen at a single station, on Howie 

 Hill, in the south. First found by Rev. W. M. Rogers in 1892, 

 and subsequently by Dr. Focke. First record, Journ. Bot. 1895, 77. 

 B. yratus occurs plentifully in West Gloucester, within three miles 

 of this station. 



R. argentatus p. J. Muell. Flora, 88 (under B. leucostachys
