This peculiaily intéresting bramble is a form that grows in the wood and 

 more rarely upon open ground. It has a very small area, in the north weM 

 of Skåne, somewhere between 56° 6' and 56° 26' n. lat., where it grows on 

 llnl In ml- Väderö, also on many places in the parishes of Välinge, Farhult, 

 and Jonstorp, also, at Kulla-Gunnarstorp (Mr. ( >. Gelert). Although it does 

 not grow upön the seashores, or in their immediate neighbourhood, it, never- 

 theless, does not hohl itself very far from the sea.
