A few bushes were found which we were unable to name, and 
these are considered to be hybrids of two distinct combinations, 
They are as follows :— 
*R. mucronatus x pulcherrimus? Borders of thickets in Queen’s 
Cottage grounds. Not rare. Specimens of three different bushes 
were determined as above. We had referred them doubtfully to 
R. mucronatus, which on the whole it most resembles, and wit 
which it was probably included by Nicholson. (We do not find 
this or the next recorded, either by the Rey. E. F. Linton [ Journ, 
Bot., 1907, pp. 271, 272] or by Focke [Asch. & Grabn. Syn, Mitt.- 
Fl. vi, pp. 440-648] where many hybrid Rudi are mentioned.) 
b. K, 
*R. echinatus x rosaceus? A fine clump of a Rubus was found 
in a thicket in Queen’s Cottage grounds in August, 1908, and was 
collected as R. fuscoater, Weihe? Mr. Rogers replied : “ Looks 
like a hybrid. Not R. fuscoater, Weihe.” This year we collected 
abundant material, and sent it with the record that it grew 
associated with R. rudis, R. rosaceus, R. pulcherrimus, and R, echi~ 
natus. Mr, Rogers replied : “ In all respects looks like a hybrid. 
The strong development of prickles and the barrenness of all the 
panicles especially point to such an origin, but I cannot suggest any 
parents.” After a comparison with its associates we think R. echi- 
natus x rosaceus the most likely combination. The resemblance to 
RR. rosaceus is very marked, and except in its longer spines it may 
be described as fairly intermediate between the two. Hb. K.
