RARER FORMS OF RUBUS LATELY FOUND IN DORSET. 79 



concur. If these gentlemen are correct I think that R. plintlwstylus 

 must be placed as a sub-species under R. Koehleri. The characters 

 on which Genevier lays most stress are the leaflets wedge-shaped at 

 the base, stems very pricldy, sepals very spreading. In the Dorset 

 plant the armature is weaker than I should have expected from his 

 description. Writing of the Cornish plant Prof. Babington says 

 "panicle short, few flowered." In our plant the panicle is 

 elongated (18 inches cr more) and crowded with flowers.
