31 STATIONS OF SOME PLYMOUTH RUDI. 
reserved for further study. About these I may possibly be able to 
say something at a future time. 
R. Ideus, Linn. Common, and doubtless truly wild in many spots, 
but it springs so readily from seed, and is so much cultivated, that it 
is impossible to say in what localities it isindigenous. By the Cowsie 
river, on Dartmoor; remarkably common in hedges by the Tavistock 
and Okehampton road, within a few miles of the former place ; plen- 
tiful near Peter Tavy, where the yellow-fruited plant occurs; in a 
wood at Torr, near Yealmpton ; Common Wood, etc. 
R. suberectus, Anders. In open spots in many of our wooded val- 
leys, especially where the soil is moist. Also frequent among low 
copsewood on the hillsides, but not a hedgerow shrub. In the valley 
of the Plym at Common Wood, Cann, ete., and by some of its tri- 
butary streams; iu a wood at Derriford, Egg Buckland; in the vale 
of the Yealm, near Cornwood ; at Blaxton, ete. 
One of the earliest species to flower, in South Devon coming into 
bloom at the end of May or beginning of June. 
R. plicatus, W. and N. Specimens so named by the Rev. A. Bloxam | 
were obtained from a bog at Ivybridge and a bushy spot at Blaxton, | 
near Tamerton Foliott. 
R. affinis, W. and N. By the side of a road near-Beer Ferris, | 
leading towards Lopwell; valley of the Yealm, Dartmoor; some 
bushes on the right bank of the Plym, near Riverford. Mr. Bloxam — 
considers the plants at the first and second stations this; and Mr. — 
Baker calls the Beer one and the last affinis, but says that by this ; 
name he may not mean quite the same plant as do some botanists, 
since by it he understands one that is “ apparently essentially the same | 
as nitidus, W. and N 
R. rhamnifolius, W. and N. Probably common. In a waste spot | 
by the Plymouth and Saltash road, near the ferry across the Tamar, d 
ete. Many bushes of a small form of this occur in a waste but en- 
closed piece of ground on the right of the Saltash and Callington ; 
road, after you descend the hill below Hatt, Cornwall. We probably | 
have also R. cordifolius, W. and N., included with this by Babington- ] 
in his * Manual of British Botany,’ for a plant respecting which the - 
Rev. A. Bloxam writes, * I believe cordifolius,” and Mr. Baker “one 
of the cordjfulius set of forms,"—grows in a hedge by the Plymouth 
and Tavistock road, between Knackersknowle and Roborough, near :
