430 BLANCHARD: RUBUS OF EASTERN NoRTH AMERICA 
altitude than R. canadensis. No satisfactory figure of this species 
has yet been published. The best is in the fourth volume of the 
Cyclopaedia of American Horticulture. The figure of R. alle- 
ghaniensis in Britton and Brown’s Illustrated Flora is of this 
species, also. Bigelow figured it in his Medical Botany in 1818. 
No complete description of it has yet been published, but Bailey, 
Porter, and Bigelow have pointed out some of its characters, and 
some are noticed in Rhodora 8: 169, 217. 1906. 
Rusus ANDREWSIANUS Blanchard 
This species was described by Marshall and by Walter as R. 
fruticosus, and by Elliott and by Barton as R. villosus. It has been 
figured in his Vegetable Materia Medica by Barton, in the Illus- 
trated Flora under the same name, and fully described by me in 
Rhodora 8: 17. 1906. See also under R. alleghaniensis in this 
paper. Its northern limits are Boston, Massachusetts; Providence, 
Rhode Island; Granby, Connecticut, on the Massachusetts line; 
Easton, Pennsylvania; Mansfield, 30 miles north of Columbus, 
Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; St. Charles, Missouri; and Topeka, 
Kansas. I have personally collected it in those places. Its south- 
ern limit is the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Probably 
two thirds of Rhode Island and Connecticut, four fifths of Pennsyl- 
vania, and one third of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois are not in- 
cluded in the area where this species grows. In the neighborhood 
of Boston this species is not normal, and in a strip bordering the 
Gulf of Mexico, on the evidence of specimens I have seen and 
from a careful examination from Pensacola, Florida, to the 
Alabama line, it is much more slender than this stout, rugged 
species usually is. 
RuBus Hispripus L. 
This species was described for the first time by Linnaeus in 
1753. Michaux named it R. obovalis, Bigelow named it R. semper- 
virens, and Hooker, claiming Michaux’s name to be senseless, 
purposely renamed it R. obovatus. This list of Latin adjectives 
pretty well covers its characters. Barton called it R. flagellaris 
Willd. and he knew of a single station in the neighborhood of 
Philadelphia. No extended description appeared before 1906, 
when my own was published in Rhodora 8: 212. Its range is
