200 , THE KOSE FAMILY. 



Hedge Bramble — [Ruhus vulgaris.) 

 In hedges, frequent. Common about Withington and Chorlton. 

 Fl. July, August. 



7. Glandttlab Beamble — {Ruhus glanduldsus.)

E. B., Supp. iii. 2883. 



Lakge-petaled Bbamble — [Rubus Radula.) 

 Haughton, on the banks of the Tame. (Mr. J. Sidebotham.) 



Kcehleb's Bramble — [Rubus Kcehleri.) 



Hedges and thickets, common. 



E. B., Supp. i. 2605. 



Hairt Bramble — (Rubus hirtus.) 

 Haughton. (Mr. Sidebotham.) 



Various-leaved Bramble — (Rubus diver stfoUus.) 

 Haughton Dale, Mobberley, and common about Bowdon . 



Remarkable for the diversity in the shape of its leaflets, scarcely any two 

 being alike. 



Sylvan Bramble — [Rubus sylvdticus.) 

 In woods only. Bredbury Wood, near Hyde, abundant. Fl. July — 



September. 

 Immediately known by its delicate stem, and the pretty rose-colour of the 



flowers. 



The preceding, from No. 5 downwards, are, with the non-botanical, simply 

 " blackberries ; " and truly, in the present instance, the non-botanical seem nearer 

 the mark in their estimate of species than more than one author who might be 

 named. The larger kinds are ornamental without exception, following the roses 

 in their bloom ; a beautiful object when the panicles of their jetty fruit assume 

 the dye of ripeness ; and again when their foliage crimsons for decay, and glows 

 in the light of a sunny autumn afternoon. 



8. Dewberry — [Rubus ccbsius.) 

 Hedges and thickets. By the roadside at Longford, plentiful ; 

 equally so on the banks of the IrwcU, near Clifton Aqueduct, and in 

 the vicinity of Capesthorne. Fl. June, July. 



E. B. xii, 826.
