88 ON THE RUBI AND ROS^ OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. 



U. Gelertii K. Frid. and strong forms of Pi. micans Gren. & Godr. 

 Nothing quite like it has yet been identified in Britain. It agrees 

 well with M. Gillot's authentic French specimens lent by Mr. 

 Gelert, of Copenhagen. Their label is as follows: — "Association 

 rubologique, 1881. No. 429, Riibus adenanthus Boul. et Gill. Saone- 

 et-Loire. Talus de la route d'Autun a St. Leger. Sous Beuvrai, 

 en face da Nameau de Channay : sol granitique et sablonneux, alt. 

 800 m. 11 juillet, 1881. Coll. Gillot." The Gorey Bay locality is 

 very sunny, and the soil, I believe, is granitic. The plant, as it 

 grows there, may be thus described : — Stem bluntly angular and 

 striate, of a dull purplish brown, rather thickly clothed with fine 

 single and clustered hairs which nearly hide the numerous shortly 

 stalked glands and few scattered pricklets. Prickles many, strong, 

 subequal, patent or slightly declining, nearly confined to angles. 

 Leaves 3-5-nate pedate, grey- or whitish-felted beneath, with com- 

 pound incised toothing. Terminal leaflet obovate-acuminate, with 

 rather narrow emarginate or subentire base. Panicle pyramidal- 

 corymbose, with subracemose ultra-axillary top, short ascending 

 cymose intermediate branches, and longer more strongly ascending 

 racemose branches below ; the rachis and pedicels with many 

 slender falcate and declining prickles, and patent hairs hiding 

 the acicles and stalked glands. Calyx with sunken glands, and 

 attenuate points ascending after fall of petals. Stamens rather 

 short, but exceeding styles. No fruit seen. 



Egregii. 



R. BonEanus Geney. Guernsey: Lane above Glatney Esplanade, 

 St. Peter Port ; a form with very few pricklets on faces of stem, and 

 an abnormally prickly panicle. St. Sampson's; a plant which also 

 seems to go best under this species. Jersey : General ; quite 

 typical in some places, but variable in others. Fauvic, Les Marais, 

 and Val des Vaux, in plenty ; Waterworks Valley ; Gorey ; Anne 

 Port. First reported from Jersey by Rev. Augustin Ley. 



Fi. Borreri ^jell-Salt. Guernsey: Abundant and characteristic 

 near Vale Castle, in quarries between St. Sampson's and L'Ancresse 

 Common, and at Ville an Roi. Jersey : Bouley Bay. 



Radul^. 



R. radula Weihe, var. cmglicanus Rogers. Jersey : Waterworks 

 Valley and Pont Marquet. In good quantity, and in all respects 

 identical with the luxuriant form of this variety so common in the 

 Bournemouth neighbourhood, in E. Dorset, and S.W. Hants. No 

 other well-marked form of R. radula seen, though a plant found 

 near Fauvic, in Jersey, looks as if it might be a weak state or form 

 of this species. 



R. riidis Wh. & N. Guernsey : Fermain Bay. 



R. Bloxamii Lees. Guernsey : Widely distributed, and mostly 

 quite characteristic. Petit Bot Bay ; La Valette and elsewhere 

 about St. Peter Port ; St. Martin's ; Norgeots. 



Another handsome plant of this group, clearly allied to R. lomji- 

 thyrsiger Lees, but with a much broader and more developed panicle
