 conspicuous granule towards each end of the chromatophore.

NOTES FEOM CANTIKE. 



By C. E. Salmon. 



The following notes upon plants collected in Cantire (v. c. 101) 

 are the results of a little collecting there in August, 1897, in the 

 neighbourhood of Ardrishaig, on the Crinan Canal, which forms 

 the boundary between Argyll and Cantire. 



The Rev. W. Moyle Rogers kindly named the Rubi, and to Mr. 

 Arthur Bennett I am also much indebted.

'^^Piubus suherectus Anders. Near Inverneil. — ^^'R. Lindleianus 

 Lees. By Crinan Canal, Ardrishaig. — *E. rhainnifolius, form. 

 Near Cairnbaan. The Rev. W. Moyle Rogers remarks upon this : 

 "Apparently identical with a form which is frequent on the 

 commons south of Loudon, and which I have also from Warwick- 

 shire (Bagnall) and L. Corrib, Ireland (Marshall). I have always 

 thought it a strongly marked small form of the very aggregate it. 

 rhamnifolius W. & N., though in some few features (armature and 

 panicle) recalling R. Selmeri Lmdeb., under which (as var. micro- 

 phyllus Lindeb. = R. viUlcaulis var. alienus Murbeck in Aresch. 

 " Some observ.," p. 152) Mr. Gelert would place it. Dr. Focke in 

 1893 expressed a general agreement with my view (with a Barnes 

 Common specimen before him), and in 1897 sent Mr. Marshall the 

 following note on his L. Corrib specimen : ^' R. rhamnifolius var. 

 exilis, a small-leaved form analogous to Rosa exilis Crep. and 

 several Rubi/' — ^^'R. jnUcherrimus Neum. By Crinan Canal, Auehin- 

 darroch. — *jR. dumnunie^isis Bab. Roadside near Inverneil Farm. 

 — *ii. villicaulis Koehl. var. Selnieri (Lindeb.). By Crinan Canal, 

 Ardrishaig. — -^'R. radula Weihe var. amjlicanus Rogers. Near Inver- 

 neil. Of this Mr. Rogers says: "I think this must go under my 

 var. anglicanus of Fi. radula Weihe, but it has thicker foliage and 

 still less radula-like armature than our S. England form, and 

 perhaps goes a step away from it towards R. Babingtonii Bell Salt. 

 I have seen the same or a very similar plant growing in the 

 counties of Perth and Dumbarton." — '''i?. corylifolius Sm. var. 

 cyclophyllus Lindeb. By Loch Killisport, near Achahoish. *' I 

 think rightly named." W. M. R.
