ON SOME SCOTTISH RUBI. 49 



best-marked British forms. Typical radula : — M.P. Knock of 

 Crieff. S. Castle Hill, Stirling ; Gargiinnock ; plentiful. D. Bal- 

 loch. Var. nmiUcanns Rogers: — W.P. Not seen growing by me ; 

 but my son brought me fresh specimens from the Aberfoyle neigh- 

 bourhood. Var. echinatoidt's Rogers : — Locally the most abundant 

 form, as seems usual in the north. W.P. Callander; by L. Ven- 

 nachar; near Lake of Monteith. M.P. Between KilUn and L. Tay. 

 S. Gargunnock ; in considerable quantity. L. Near Cramond 

 Bridge and the R. Station. In the last locality not quite the 

 usual form. At Gargunnock also a very handsome form rather 

 approaching my var. raduloides of 11. aixjlosaxonicus Gelert. 



KOEHLEEIANI. 



I saw no well-marked representatives of this group ; but at 

 Ballocli (D.), by the shore of L. Lomond, occurs in quantity what 

 may be a form of my infecundus var. of R. rosaceus W. & N. ; and on 

 the hill opposite the Crags at Callander and near the Lake of 

 Monteith I saw what seemed a weak form of R. Koehleri W. & N., 

 var. i^allidus Bab. 



Bellardiani. 



R. hritannicus Rogers. W.P. Callander Crags and neighbour- 

 hood, in plenty ; by L. Earn, and near Lochearnhead R. Station. 

 M. Knock of Crieff; in considerable quantity. S. Castle Hill, 

 Stirling (only one large patch seen for certain). A strong, very 

 handsome bramble in sunny places, and, I believe, a well marked 

 distinct species. The sole representative of the group that I met with. 



CiESII. 



R. coriiUfoUm Sm. (sp. collect.). W.P. By L. Earn. M.P. Near 

 Killin. S. Castle Hill, Stirling; in some quantity, and part of it 

 fairly typical (i.e. R. snbhistris Lees). 



R. casiits L. (sp. collect.). W.P. By L. Earn; near Callander. 

 M.P. Near Killin. S. Castle Hill, Stirling. L. Near Cramond 

 Bridge. 



Of the species and varieties referred to in the foregoing notes, 

 I saw, in July, 1896, either the living bushes or (in tbe few 

 instances where my son was the sole collector) pieces freshly 

 gathered from the living plant. I add two lists which may be 

 of some interest. In these, where the name of a county or vice- 

 county in brackets follows the name of a plant, it is implied that 

 that is the oidi/ Scottish county for which the species or variety 

 referred to is known or has been reported.
