Tliat throe brand now species of Fuinaria should he added to 

 the Hora of Cornwall in the short space of twelve months, will 

 ever he remembered as an extraordinary event. As it is possible 

 other forms still lurk undetected in a Duchy as Delectable to the 

 botanist as it is to the student of humanity, I hope special 

 attention will be given to the genus during the coming year by 

 everyone of my helpers. 



Rubus iissus, Lindl. Seeing it has a distribution extending 

 from Devon to the Orkney Islands, the occurrence of this 

 bramble in Cornwall might have been suspected. At one time, 

 indeed, it was reported from several localities, but on considtmg 

 the rev. W. Moyle Rogers, I was advised to put the stations 

 which had been jjublished for this species in the "Journal of 

 Botany," 1886, as well as those appearing in Briggs' "Flora of 

 Plymouth," under li. pUcatm. Conseqiiently li./issus appears in 

 my " Tentative List " in brackets, indicating that it had been 

 wrongly' recorded for Cornwall. This year Mr. G. V. Druce col- 

 lected this bramble near Bodmin, and forwarded voucher speci- 

 mens to the rev. W. Moyle Rogers. 



R. nitidus, W. k N. This species is also placed in brackets 

 in my " Tentative List," but the rev. W. Moyle Rogers has 

 recently called my attention to the fact that in his " Hand- 

 book of British Rubi," p. 100, though he had not seen 

 specimens, he accepts the plant for East Cornwall, on the 

 authority of Prof. Arcschoug. 



R. Gariensis, Rip. »S: Genev. " Handbook of British Rubi " 

 says this is "locally abundant in the west, especially in 

 Devon." It seems to have attained its maximum disti'ibution in 

 Wales, where it has been found in the counties of Glamorgan, 

 Brecon, Carmai-then, Cardigan, and Carnarvon. In England it 

 has been recorded for Dorset, South Somerset, and North Devon. 

 By Mr. Bruce' s discovery of it at Bodmin, Cornwall has been 

 brought into lino with Devon, 



R. thyrsoideus, Wimm. Entered in my "Tentative List" 

 as one of the erroneous records for Cornwall, the /vr. //'. Moyle 

 Rogers has recently restored it to our flora. On the Lizard
