124 ROSACEJi. 



lY. By the side of the Dartmoor train-way at Common Wood, Egg 

 Buckland. This agrees well with a specimen from Professor 

 Areschoug, collected in Saxony, and labelled by him 'i2. 

 Koehhri, Weihe, forma tyjjica.' A less prickly plant, but one 

 essentially the same, grows sparingly on a hedge-bank by the 

 lane leading from DeiTiford into the Fancy and Plymbridge 

 Road. 



c. paUidus, Weihe. 

 In Avooded spots. 

 D. III. Hedge-bank near Newnham by the road to Colebrook, and else- 

 where near Plympton. 

 Several doubtful Brambles growing about Plyniouth may belong to the 

 aggregate Koehleri. One of them agi-ees well with a Silesian specimen 

 from Professor Areschoug labelled R. apricus, Wimm. It has also some 

 pomts of resemblance to R. Hystrlx and 11. rosaceus. 



255. R fusco-ater, Weihe. Brownish-hJack Bramble. 



Native ; in hedges and Avaste bushy spots. Common, and AAidely 

 distributed, 

 c. II. Antony. Neighbourhood of Saltash. Near Gunnislake. 

 D. III. BetAveen Pounds and Pemiycross Church. Manadon Hill. 

 Honicknowle. Tamerton Foliot. 

 IV. Crabtree. About Plympton. BetAveen Plymstock and Knighton. 

 V. Chittleburn, Brixton. Near Slade. 

 The common form occurring about Plymouth is, Mr. Baker says, 

 identical Avith a plant of the North of England that he considers about 

 intermediate heiweew fusco-ater , as figured m the Ruhi Gerraanici, and 

 macrirphyUus. A more hairy plant, AAith more compact panicle, occurs 

 in considerable quantity at Connnon Wood and elsewhere on the right 

 bank of the Plym, between Plymbridge and Bickleigh. It also groAvs at 

 Bircham, Egg Buckland. Our ordinary form comes near R. omalodontos^ 

 MiiU., but h<as the panicle less setose. It has sepals more decidedly 

 retlexed than m the Common Wood plant, and perhaps the two should be 

 separated. 



h. Briggsii. Blox. Jour. Bot. vii. 33 ; ibid. vii. N.S. 175. 

 Very rare. 

 D. III. In Avaste ground near Woodlands, by the road from St. Budeaux 

 to Tamerton Foliot ; three or four patches. 

 IV. In an old quarry at Rumple (perhaps now destroyed), and in a 



stony spot near the southern end of Bickleigh Vale. 

 The late Rev. A. Bloxam maintained that this Avas a distinct species, 

 and described it in the Journal of Botany (vol. vii. 33), Avhere a figure 

 of it Avill be found, di'aAvn from a specimen that I sent from District iii.
