 Two distinctly marked forms of this sub-species occur throuj^hout

 I. Abundant in Haywoods ; Herb. Brit. Mus., 1877, •/. A'. Barjiiall. 

 A description is given of this variety by Professor Babington in 

 Notes on Rubi, Journal of Bot., 1878, pp. 175-6, where it is 

 considered to be a variety of R. einersisti/lus, Miill. Professor 

 Babington adds some valuable and interesting remarks to the 

 description. 

 R. diver sifolius, Lindl. Various-leaved Bramble. 



Native : In hedges, woods, etc. Locally common. July, August. 

 I. Middleton Heatla ; near Langley ; lanes about Wishaw ; Olton Canal 

 Bank, near Knowle ; Coleshill Heath, etc. 



II. Hill Clump, Honington ; J. Townsend ; road from Stratford to 



Alcester ; Sheltield. 

 A form which Professor Babington considers near R. horrefactus, 

 Miill, from a wood near Tardebigge. A strongly marked variety 

 occurs in the lane from Brandon to Twelve o'clock Riding. On 

 this Professor Babington remarks : " It is very like the plant 

 noticed from Waith in ' The British Rubi,' p. 224. At present 

 I place it under R. diver sifolius, for I do not think it belongs to 

 R. Koehleri. It is a very beautiful plant."
