EUBUS FKUTICOSUS LINN. 

 By E. a. Kolfe, A.L.S. 



The name Buhus fruticosus, L., which was formerly applied to 

 one of our commonest and most characteristic British Brambles, 

 has of late years been largely superseded by B. ulmifolius, B. 

 discolor, and B. rusticanus, on the ground that the Linnean name 

 represented an aggregate species, but an examination of all the 

 materials shows that it must be restored,''' as there can be no 

 doubt as to the plant intended. 



The name Buhus fruticosus appeared in the first edition of the 

 ' Species Plantarum,' in 1753, w^iere the habitat is given as " in 

 sepibus praesertim maritimis Europae," and a good specimen in 

 the Linnean Herbarium proves conclusively that what Linnaeus 

 had in view was the plant aftervv^ards figured by Sowerby as 

 B. fruticosiLS, which itself, as already stated, is identical with the 

 common and widely distributed plant that is included in modern 



* It is so restored in an aggregate sense in the British Museum Lut of Seed- 

 Plants (p. 10). This paper aims at fixing its place as a segregate.
