 This Bramble delights to grow in low, shaded, or damp situations. Like 

 some other Rubi, it not unfrequently has strong shoots of the year ter- 

 minatmg in an immense panicle ; such shoots sometimes giving out two 

 or three barren branches from the lower portion of the stem, which 

 branches root at their ends just as do ordinary barren ones. I have seen 

 such a shoot, only two or three feet long, Avith no less than four long 

 secondary shoots for rooting ; one proceeding from the joint next beloAv 

 the first of the panicle branches. Among the distinguishing character- 

 istics of E. jwainidaUs are its ternate leaves and very prostrate stems. 

 I have had the opportunity of studying this Bramble in the li\ing state 

 for a long period, and am fully satisfied that Babington is correct in 

 considering it quite distinct from Guntheri. The plant of the neighbour- 

 hood agrees exactly Avith the typical Llanberis j^V^^^f-'niidalis. My late 

 valued correspondent, the Rev. A. Bloxam, gave me the name for it, on 

 my sending him specimens from the Plym valley and Derriford several years 

 ago. It is unfortimate that this most apposite one of iiyramidalis^ 

 bestowed by Professor Babmgton, will probably have to give place to that 

 of longithyrsiger^ for reasons given under R. hirtifolius.
