SHORT NOTES. 



RuBus LoEHKi Wirtgen in W. Kent and Surrey. — Two brambles 

 in my collection have recently been identified with this by Rev. W. 

 Moyle Rogers, and are clearly the same as the Herefordshire plants 

 in Sets of British Rubi, mentioned by Rev. A. Ley on pp. 219, 220. 

 The first was collected by Capt. Wolley Dod in Crown Wood, 

 Shooter's Hill (v.-c. 16), during 1894, and was named R./uscus by 

 Dr. Focke; but the finder wrote : — "This form looks very different 

 when growing, chiefly from the colour of its leaves ; but there is 

 also an uudescribable something about it that makes me think it 

 should deserve a varietal name." The second was met with by 

 Mr. S. T. Dunn and myself, the previous year, close to Woking 

 Station (v.-c. 17); it was remarkable for the small size and greenish 

 white colour of the petals. — Edward S. Marshall. 



Isle of Wight Plants. — Geranium joyrenaicum was found last 

 summer, by Mr. R. M. Prideaux, growing by the railway between 

 Cowes and Newport, and Galeopds versicolor my wife found growing by 

 the road-side on St. George's Down. Neither of these plants has 

 been hitherto recorded for the Isle of Wight. — Frederic Stratton. 



JuNcus TENUIS Willd. — In February, 1884 (see Jonrn. Bot. 1884, 

 p. 91), I met with one large tuft of J uncus tenuis, in a pasture in 

 Herefordshire, bearing about thirty old flowering stems. From that 

 time onwards it produced a lessening number, until in the dry season 

 of 1887 it bore only three or four very short and weakly stems, and 

 then apparently died out, as I have failed to find any trace of it 

 since. So far, my experience supports that of Mr. J. Lloyd Williams,
