RADNORSHIRE AND BRECONSHIRE RUBI. 
By roe Rev. W. Morte Roeers, F.L.S. 
TuEsE notes are supplementary to those on the general Flora of 
Redagsaise and Breconshire published in the January number of 
this Journal, and so refer only to Rubi seen by me in those 
counties last summer, in the vast majority of cases in the living 
bushes, but in the few instances where the name of the locality is 
followed by that of hoe . A. Ley or nh any Rogers, in the form of 
freshly cut specimen As in the for r paper, an asterisk will be 
prefixed in those cases where I bahia. there has been no previous 
record of the Arges for the county. 
h n brambles of the Wye Valley wrote) that part 
of it in shich ‘te river marks the boundary between the counties 
of Radnor and Brecon, or, in other words, from Rhay er in the 
N Hay in the S.E. ., are R. Lindleianus, Silurum, cop 
rusticanus, leucostachys, pallidus B -), and d 
torum. These are so generally distributed throughout re district 
that one can hardly fail to find them all in the course of a 
search in any part of it which may be favourable to the pnwel of 
brambles. Fairly frequent and locally abundant in the same 
district occur R. Ideus, plicatus, incurvatus (forma), pulcherrimus, 
villicaulis, Selmeri, hirtfoins, ieee angustifolius, longithyrsiger 
britannicus. All the other species and forms that saw are 
S 
the Wye Valley, are still the common ones. though here R. longi- 
thyrsiger must be added to that list; while R.plicatus, ratiy ve and 
britannicus rust, so far as a observation went, be taken from the 
list of the ‘locally abundan The central and N. E. parts of 
Radnorshire, and most of Brosciishire S.W. of the Wye Valley, I 
was unable to reach : 
or help in determining some of the forms I am much in- 
debted to Dr. Focke and Mr. Ley. 42 and 48 are the comital numbers 
assigned to Brecon and Radnor in Watson’s Topo sae Botany.
