SOME ACCOUNT OF CHESHIRE RUBI. 357 
Blox.—A_ general form in Cheshire; with flat, orbicular, cordate, cus- 
pidate, hard, short-felted terminal leaflets, coriaceous, approaching 
rhamnifolius in many respects. In Sussex, Middlesex, and Surrey the 
terminal leaflet is generally only broadly ovate-acuminate, the point 
being attenuate, and curved sidewards, while below the leaflets are 
much more softly yet thinly clothed. The last form also occurs in 
Cheshire, but the orbicular cuspidate leaflet is the rule, the last the 
exception. (2.) Every hedge-lane near Knutsford ; occurs also often 
as an isolated bush in their pasture margins, (4.) Near Bromborough 
Park wall, near Eastham Hotel. In“ Liverpool Flora’ given as car- 
pinifolius, that is, of Bloxam, not Babington. (7.) Biley; Lower 
Peover; very general. 
14. R. macrophyllus, W., Ò. amplificatus, Lees.—Not very typical, but 
still satisfying, I think, the name. The beautiful form of Thames 
Ditton, Surrey, and Bishop’s Wood, Hampstead, may be taken as the 
type. (2.) Armstrong’s Cover, Tabley, that is, the wood near Tabley 
Lane end, and sparsely in Round Wood, Tabley; apparently not com- 
mon, but naturally. Except at home, I have had less access to wood 
forms than to roadside ones. I can give a better account of the septal 
than the sylvatic forms. Where game is much preserved, coverts are 
forbidden ground. 
15. R.mucronulatus, Boreau.—I have only observed this on the Mow 
Cop range, which bounds Cheshire to the south. Once ascending the 
chain directly from the town of Congleton, where you come upon it by 
the roadside to Biddulph about a mile or so from the station, and 
again at the village of Mow Cop, some miles to the south-west. It is 
a form with a hill tendency. (5.) Hills above Congleton. 
16. R. Sprengelii, Weihe, a. Borreri, Bell-Salt.—A prevalent 
Bramble of Cheshire heaths. (1.) Near Mottram. (2.) Common; 
Round Wood, Tabley ; Pickmere Moss. (7.) Rudheath; Lower Peo- 
ver Heath. Any London botanist may see this form between the 
* Spaniards," Hampstead, and Bishop's Wood; and again sparsely on 
the heath before you come to the “ Spaniards.” 
17. R. scaber, Weihe.—(2.) Roadside above Clayhouse Farm 
Plumbley ; Round Wood, Tabley, very fine bushes; Tabley Garden 
ood. (4.) A single bush, near the wall of Bromborough Park, 
Eastham side. 
18. R. rudis, Weihe.—I have only observed this well-marked form in
