plant is the original one in Apse Castle Wood, but I have seen spe- 

 cimens from other counties. The plant maintains its characters 

 when removed into gardens. 



Rubus tenuis. Not frequent. At Selbourne and in the Isle of 

 Wight, near Swainston. 



leucostachys. This species, with some others not till lately 



well distinguished, is too common for recording its several habitats. 

 I mention it, however, in order to refer to the variety vestitus, lite- 

 wise of frequent occurrence in almost every wood, alike on the main- 

 land and in the island. In the neighbourhood in which leucostachys 

 grows, vestitus is found in the interior, whilst at the margin of the 

 woods every gradation may be seen betwixt them. 



sylvaticus. In hedges, not common, in the New Forest 



and Isle of Wight. 



Borreri. On sandy heaths in the Isle of Wight, very rare. 



carpinifolius. In hedges on a sandy soil. On the main- 

 land, near Selbourne, &c. In the Isle of Wight it abounds in the 

 green-sand district of the south-east of the island. In woods it as- 

 sumes the form of var. roseus. 



macrophyllus. In moist, not boggy woods, probably ge- 

 nerally diffused. I have noticed it near Selbourne, and in several 

 parts of the island. 



Babingtonii. Rare. In a hedge-row near Selbourne. 



rudis. In hedges frequently. About Alton and Gosport, 



and in the Isle of Wight. The form ? Reichenbachii rare at Sel- 

 bourne and near Ryde. 



Radula. Of unfrequent occurrence. The typical form 



and the variety Lingua on the heaths about Bourne Mouth, and the 

 variety Hystrix in woods in the Isle of Wight, and probably in those 

 of the mainland also. 



glandulosus. Rare, in damp hedges. I believe Bellardi's 



form has not been found in the south of England. The more fre- 

 quent in this county is the variety Lejeunii, but this is very local, 

 having been observed in several sites around Selbourne, and one or 

 two in the island. The variety rosaceus I have only seen in Sel- 

 bourne Lith. 



Wahlbergii. In hedges very local, chiefly in the N. E. of 



the Isle of Wight. 



nemorosus. In hedges. A rare plant in Hampshire. It 



grows in one small district of the Isle of Wight. This species and 

 the former are very apt to lose their fruit immediately after flowering.
