lyO ROSACEAE 



2. Ock. Tubney Wood. 



4. Kennet. Near Hungerford. 



The Eev. AV. M. Rogers writes, respecting the Tubney plant, * that he 

 does not see how it can be kept apart, though he has never seen 

 a specimen before with leaves so acuminate or stem so nearly glabrous.' 



R. dumnoniensis has been recorded for Hants, Oxfordshire (on Shot- 

 over Hill), and W. Gloucestershire. 



R. merciciis, Bagnall, in .Journ. Bot. (1892) 372, var. bracteatus. 

 Bagnall, I.e. (1894) 187. 



Native. Ericetal. Heathy ground and hedgerows. Very local, but 



frequent in the only known locality. Shrub. .July-September. 

 First recorded by the Rev. W. M. Rogers in 1895, but found by the 

 author in 1889. 

 2. Ock. A conspicuous plant on the Boar's Hill Range, and pre- 

 viously placed by me under aggregate macrophxjllus. Rev. W. M. 

 Rogers saw it in 1895, and at first was disposed to consider it as 

 a form near to R. pulcherrimus ; subsequently, after close exami- 

 nation and comparison of specimens, he refers it to the name 

 given above ; and Mr. Bagnall, who has seen a good series sent 

 him by Mr. Rogers, agrees in the determination. 

 R. mercicus, var. bracteatus, has not been recorded for any bordering 

 county. 



S. villicaiilis, Koehl, in Weihe & Nees, Rubi Germ. 43, t. 17 

 (1822-7). 



.Synie, E. B. iii. 176. Fl. Oxf. 96. Rogers' Key, 9. Nyman, 217. 



Native. Ericetal. Heaths, open places in woods, hedges. Not un- 

 common, locally abundant, and widely distributed. Shrub. 

 July-September. 



First record. Wargi-ave, Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill, in Britt. Contr. 1871. 



1. Isis. Wytham. Besilsleigh. 



2. Ock. Bagley Wood, where a very large form is also found. 



Boar's Hill (where I showed it to Dr. Focke, but it is in limited 

 quantity there). Hen Wood. Frilford. Tubney. Besilsleigh. 



3. Pang. In great quantities on Cold Ash Common, W. M. Rogers, 



Journ. Bot. 1887. Very plentiful on Tilehurst Common. Oare. 

 Hermitage. Ashampstead. Fence Wood. 



4. Kennet. Snelsmore Common, just the plant so frequent in 



SW. England, W. M. Rogers. Mortimer, Tufnail. Greenham. 

 Burghtield, Silchester. Chieveley. Ufton. 



5. Loddon. Wargrave, Melvill. Bearwood. Stubbing's Heath. 



Early. 

 Probably all the above localities belong to the var. Selmeri (Lindeb. ) 

 (the R. affinis, auct. var. not of Weihe & Nees, and the R. calvatus,
