1 In the descriptions by stem is meant the barren stem of the j r ear ; 

 the prickles are called patent when they spread at right angles to the 

 st. and subpatent when a little declining; the shape of the leaflets, 

 unless otherwise stated, is taken from those of the barren stem. The 

 term seta is used to express a hair or bristle tipped with a gland ; 

 aciculi are strong bristles. By R. O. the plates in Weihe and Nees's 

 Rubi G-ermanici are intended. See Babington's British Rubi. 



When the Continental plants are better known it is feared that 

 considerable changes of nomenclature will be necessary. 



2 From the Author's notes it was his evident intention to entirely 

 rewrite the account of this genus, but this intention was not fulfilled. 

 Since the last edition appeared a very large amount of work has been 

 done and a full account of the genus has been published by the Rev. W. 

 Moyle Rogers in his valuable ' Handbook of British Rubi' With his 

 kind permission we have added as an appendix the * Conspectus of 

 Species ' from that work, giving here the account as in ed. viii. with the 

 exception of a few alterations actually made by the Author. H. & J. (\.
