425. Rubus rhamnifolius W. & N. Roadside, by Soot- 

 hill Wood (F. A. Lees, and P. F. Lee). 



437B. R. salteri var. calvatus Blox. Hedge, Haybeck. At 

 page 217 of ' The Flora of West Yorkshire,' Mr. Lees 

 describes this as a form between Ji. villicauUs and 

 R. macrophyllus. The Second Annual Report of the 

 Watson Botanical Exchange Club (1886), contains the 

 following note by Prof. Babington concerning specimens 

 taken from the same plant and sent to him — ' Seems 

 to be s alter r ; and the Third Report (1887) again 

 referring to the same plant, still labelled R. villicauUs 

 Koehl., says : — ' I adhere to my former determination. 

 If I must decide between salteri and calvatiis I should 

 . say the latter,' C. C. Babington. In the meantime I 

 had sent to Prof Babington, as desired by him, some 

 sprays in bloom, and I must now place it as above, 

 instead of 439. 



461B. R. lejeunei var. festivus (M. & W.). Wall bordering 

 Soothill Wood (1886). Prof. Babington says this 

 form is 'very near to festivus' (Watson Club's Third 

 Report). 



471B. R. corylifolius var. conjungens Bab. Creeping 

 over stone-heap, field near 'Bulrush' mill-dam, Batley. 

 ('near' teste F. Arnold Lees). 

 R. podophyllus MiilL, nom. teste C. C. Babington. 

 This form of the Bramble or Blackberry is an inter- 

 esting addition not only to the flora of the district, 

 but to that of Britain, and for the present it has no 

 number in the London Catalogue of British plants. 

 It really takes the place of 455 {Rubus radula) in my 

 ' Flora of Dewsbury and Neighbourhood,' as I sent 

 specimens of it bearing that name to Prof. Babington 

 for confirmation. In the above list of new localities it 

 may be noticed that I have gathered true R. radula 

 (teste F. A. Lees) since my ' Flora ' was first issued.
