| 40 STATIONS OF SOME PLYMOUTH RUBI. 
R. foliosus, Weihe. In hedgerows by the Plymouth and Ivybridge 
road, near the Lynham Inn, and in the lane leading from Ivybridge 
towards Caton; plentiful in woods between Stretchley Farm and Yeo ; 
in hedges by the hill between Lynham and Efford, also between the 
latter place and Blackpool; in a large wood on the right of the Tavy, 
above Dedham Bridge; in a wood between Lopwell and Beer Alstone, 
Blaxton. When luxuriant, the immeuse leafy panicles are very striking. 
and then the woodland form differs considerably in general appearance 
from a small one that occurs in hedges between Knackersknowle and 
S. Budeaux, and in lanes between Honicknowle and Weston Mills. 
Sometime ago I sent Professor Babington the larger plant from one of 
the stations near Ivybridge, and he said of it, ** I quite think foliosus, 
as named by Bloxam.” 
R. Balfourianus, Blox. Apparently rare. In a low hedge between 
Sequer’s Bridge and Kingston village. plant near this I have 
gathered from a bank by the Erme, near Kitley. The Rev. A. Bloxam 
says it exactly accords with A. deltoideus, Müller, n. 84, Wirtgen’s 
Rudi. 
R. corylifolius, Sm. Common in hedgerows i in low situations in the 
immediate neighbourhood of Plymouth, as at Tothill, etc., and, in 
many spots on limestone one of the commonest Rudi, showing, like 
its ally, 2. eesius, a partiality for calcareous soils, but by no means 
confined to districts where these prevail Close to a house called 
Axter Gate, near Roborough; by the turnpike toad between Ridge- 
way and Ivybridge, etc. 
R. cesius, L. Near Tothill; by the Tavy at Tavistock; near 
Ermington. Common in the limestone districts to the east of Ply- 
mouth, as Cattedown, Elburton, Plymstock, near Pomphleet, etc. It 
begins to flower early, for I have found ripe fruit in July, and con- 
tinues in blossom for three or four months. The fruit abounds in a 
gratefully acid juice, and its flavour is altogether very pus though 
different from that of most if not of all our other spec 
R. saxatilis, L. Very rare. By the ewe ud Dartmoor 
“tramway ” at Common Wood. 
The places mentioned in the preceding paper are in Devon, unless 
the contrary is stated. With the exception of one or two stations 
named for R. Ideus, L., all are within fifteen miles of Plymouth; and 
by far the greater umber are considerably nearer this town.
