II. Between Torpoint and St. Johns, on the border of the thh-d field 

 from Hay Lane. Antony. 

 D. III. "Waste spot very near Saltash Passage, by the road to Plymouth ; 

 given by Babington, m British Buhl, as 'Saltash.' To the 

 plant there the followmg has reference : " M. Genevier states 

 that Mr. Briggs's Devonshire specunens are the R. argentatus 

 (Miill), and says, 'cette plante est tres eloignee du R. rhamni- 

 folius (W. and N.).' An examination of the specimens had 

 previously led me to the same conclusion, except that I con- 

 sider them to be undistinguishable from R. rhamnifolmsP 

 Brit. RuU, 87. Warleigh Wood. 

 IV. Bluomballs, Rumple and Riverford, Egg Buckland. IMount 

 Batten. Limestone rubble bank on the Oreston side of 

 Pomphlet inlet. 

 V. Between Westcombe farm-house and the village of Newton 

 Ferrers. Waste spot near Stretchley farm-house. 

 Advanced specimens of affinis are when dried liable to be mistaken for 

 this species. I now consider the plant from ' below Hatt ' to be affinis, 

 though recorded by me as rhamnifoiius in Jour. Bot. \\\. 34. 



236. R. incurvatus, Bah. Incurved-leaved BramUe. 



Native ; on hedge-banks, and in open waste spots. Rather 

 common ? July, August, 

 c. I. Hedge between Port Wrinkle and St. Germans Beacon. 



II. Border of a field near the lodge by Antony gromids. 

 D. III. Plymouth and Tavistock Road between Knackersknowie and 

 Roborough. 

 IV. Saltram embankment. 

 V. Near Slade, Cornwood. 

 VI. Erme valley, near Ivy bridge. 



The plants at the two first stations have been confirmed as incurvatus 

 by the greatest British authority on the genus, Professor Babington ; 

 and Plymouth examples agree well with ^incurvatus' from Brodick, 

 Arran, collected by Dr. Boswell. 



This bramble is probably much commoner tlian the above scanty list 

 of stations would seem to indicate. 



237. R. imbricatus, iTor^. Imhricated-leaved Bramble. 



Native ; in damp bushy spots. Rare ? July to September. 

 D. IV. Between the village of Colebrook, Plympton St. Mary, and 

 Newnham Lodge. Vale on Coleridge estate. Egg Buckland. 

 VI. Between Ivybridge and Ermington. 



A comparison of specimens of R. imhricatus from Redbrook, Glouces- 

 tershire, with those of a Plymouth bramble that I have known for 

 several years past, but was long unable to name, has convinced me of
