the identity of this latter with imhricatus. It moreover agrees well 

 with the description of imbricatus in British Ruhi. The Redbrook 

 specimens were collected in September, 1874, by the Rev. A. Ley and 

 Mr. B. M. Watkins, and were communicated by the former to the Bot. 

 Exchange Club.

 This well-marked Rubus was apparently undescribed before 1871, when 

 I inserted a description of it in the November number of the Journal of 

 Botany. I had previously had a correspondence respecting it with the 

 late Rev. Andrew Bloxam, a great authority on the British Rubi, who 

 considered it identical with a Warwickslm-e Bramble on which he had 

 bestowed the ]\IS. name of ramosus. This I therefore adopted for the 

 Plymouth plant in my published description. Professor Babington, in 

 the last edition of his well-known Manual, has placed ramosus as a 

 variety of imhricatus, and has made some remarks on the both in his 

 valuable ' Notes on Rubi,' inserted m the Journal of Botany for 1878. 

 (See vol. \ii. N.S. 86.) I, however, still venture to think that the two are 

 quite distinct.
