38 STATIONS OF SOME PLYMOUTH RUBI. 
leads from Thornbury to Common Wood ; near Bickleigh. © Mr. Bloxam 
has had specimens from all these localities, and says of them, “all, I 
think, mucronatus ;” Mr. Baker, referring to the same, “ may do for 
mucronatus, but they look to me a stage nearer villicaulis than 
Bloxam’s original plant, and one exactly identical, which is common in 
Yorkshire." Ina hedge at Ford, near Devonport. 
R. Bloxamii, Lees. By a roadside, near Marsh House, Crabtree ; 
also in a waste spot on the Saltram side of Laira bridge. 
R. rudis, Weihe. Apparently rare in the neighbourhood of Ply- 
mouth. Ina hedge between Beer Ferris and Morwelham. A short 
time ago I sent specimens of this plant, labelled * rudis," to the Rev. 
A. Bloxam, and he agreed with me as to its being this; but Mr. 
Baker says of it, “ what you call rudis is about halfway between the 
true plant and Radula in leaf and prickle. I have seen something 
very like it in Yorkshire." The leaves are certainly less dentate than 
those of rudis sometimes are, but the nearly equal aciculi, setee, and 
hairs of the barren stem seem to me quite characteristic. 
R. Radula, Weihe. The commonest.plant of the Radule set in the 
neighbourhood of Plymouth. Above * The Combe," Ege Buckland ; 
in a hedge by the Plymouth and Tavistock road, close to the entrance 
gate of Down House; on a limestone rubble-heap at Pomphleet ; be- 
tween Plymouth and Saltash, about two miles from the former place ; 
ontop of a hedgebank at Fuzzet Hill, Lipson, etc. 
R. Koehleri, Weihe, inclusive of R. pallidus, Weihe. A variable 
plant, common in and about woods. Ona bank below the wooded 
mound overlooking Plympton on the S.W.; near Colebrook village, 
by the side of the hedge between the field path and the road leading 
towards Newnham Lodge; in hedges by the Plymouth and Tavistock 
Road, between Fancy Lane and the entrance to Wombwell Farm; in 
various waste spots at Common Wood ; in the lane between Bickleigh 
village and Combe Park Farm, etc. 
R. fusco-ater, Weihe. Plentiful by a path leading from the “ tram- 
way" at Common Wood towards Bickleigh Vale. The Rev. A. 
Bloxam has pronounced this to be the above species, and Mr. Baker 
says of it “good Babingtonian fusco-ater.’ A coarser plant, with 
stouter barren stem, and a more rigid rachis to its longer and less com- _ 
pact panicle, which is less uniformly hairy and setose than in the 
Common Wood fusco-ater, is quite a common bramble in open spots —
