110 ROSACEiE. 



230. R. suberectus, Anders. Suherect Bramble. 



Native ; in woods, copses, and bushy waste spots. Rather rare. 

 End of May, June, 

 c. I. Sheviock Wood. Near Clapper Bridge. 



II. By the path to Morwellham Ferry from Calstock Church. 

 I). III. Among furze below Woodlands on the right of the road from St. 

 Budeaux to Tamerton Foliot. Warleigh Wood. Near Beer 

 Alston. Denham Bridge. Copse near Horrabridge, on the 

 right of the road thence to Tavistock. 

 IV. Plym valley ; Bab. Brit. Rubi, 53 ; occurs in several places m 

 the woods m or about this valley between Plym and Bickleigh 

 Bridges. Derriford. Copse on the side of Shaugh Hill. 

 V. On the bushy flat below Cholwichtown. Between Cornwood and 



Dartmoor. 

 VI. Wood at Ivybridge, very near the railway station. Erme valley, 



between Ivybridge and Harford. 

 The Plym valley plant confirmed as R. suberectus in British Rubi was 

 sent by me for Baker's collection. Nearly all the rubi of the neighbour- 

 hood of Plymouth that have their names certified to by Professor 

 Babington in that work Avere seen by him in the same collection. Some 

 of the stations that follow here under species of this genus were recorded 

 by me in an article in Jour. Bot. vii. 33-40. 

 This species flowers early, and quickly passes out of blossom. 

 Fu^st record : Babington, 1869. 



231. Rubus fissus, Lindl. Lesser Suberect Bramble. 



Native ; on commons, waste bushy spots, and rough pastures. 

 Locally common, June to September, 

 c. I. Pillaton Down, and elsewhere near Clapper Bridge 

 II. Valley below Hingston Down, near Harrowbarrow. 

 D. III. Buckland ]\Ionachorum Down (part of Roborough). 



IV. Hillside, Common Wood, Egg Buckland. Yannaton Down. 

 V. Crownhill Down ; specimens hence somewhat \\ke i)f'iccLtus ; but 

 keeping in view the remarks m British Rubi, at page 56, they 

 rather belong to fissus. Green between Worthill and Westlake. 

 Border of Dartmoor near Cornwood. 

 VI. Ivybridge ; Bab. Brit. Rubi, 57 (followed by N. instead of 

 S. Devon. 

 Professor Babmgton has had a specimen from Yannaton, and confirmed 

 the name of /issus for it, as also for a plant from a " bushy pasture near 

 Bickleigh Down," wliicli is, I consider, identical with R. opacus, Focke. 

 It has the floAvering shoot much more hairy than in our ovdinary Jissus, 

 and larger ovate petals. It is an ericetal plant, occurrmg plentifully in 

 parts of Districts iv. and v., also m iii., and very probably in the others
