l66 ROSACEAE 



K. holerythros, Focke. 



R. nitidus, Genev., not of Weihe and Nees. Journ. Bot. 47 (1895). 

 Native. Ericetal. Open woods, heathy situations, local, but common 



where it occurs. Shrub. June-September. 

 First found in Berkshire by the author in 1891. 



2. Ock. I pointed out this plant, which at first was thought to be 

 a form of R. rhombifolius, as pink-flowered nitidus, to Di-. Focke, 

 when he accompanied me to Boar's Hill in 1894. He took 

 specimens with him, and he now names them as above. It is 

 abundant on the heathy portion of the hill, and also occurs in 

 Hen Wood, in the copse near the brickyards, and in the western 

 part of Bagley Wood. 



4. Kennet. Greenham Common. 



5. Loddon. Near Sandhurst and Blackwater. Owl's Moor, frequent. 

 R. holerythros, so named on account of the wholly pink flowers, is 



a very beautiful bramble, as its pink blossoms, its very bright red fruit 

 lultimately glossy black"), and the shining, rich dark-purple coloured 

 stems, offer fine contrasts of colour and make it very conspicuous ; it 

 is recorded only for Surrey of the neighbouring counties.
