R. Babingtonii Bell Salt. 48. Roadside by R. Lug, W. of 
Presteign. 
R. Lejeuneti Wh. et N. 42. a near Glanau Wells, Builth, 
A. Ley! Clearly the same plant as one thus named for Mr. Ley 
by Dr. Focke in 1897 feet Banya in the same county. 
Var. ericetorum Lefy. *48 Near Llowes. A frequent plant in 
some neighbouring parts of “Herefordshive, 
. pallidus Wh. et N. *42. Near Glanau Wells, Builth, A. Ley! 
i: Dapihecaes Bab. 48. Rhayader ; gets a My failing 
to find any form of R. radula is Sitarkabio 
KorHLERIANI. 
R. rosaceus Wh. et N. A handsome form, with narrow a 
and showing _ resentbiaien to my var. Purchasianus, is abun 
dant about Llowe 
Var. hystrix Wh. "i N. 42. Builth, Hay Road, and near the 
junction of the Yrfon and Wye. *43. Hillside, Rhayader 
R. Koehlerit Wh. et N., var. or subsp. DAsyPHY ioe I venture to 
suggest this as an appropriate new name for the widespread an 
locally abundant bramble which we have long tried to distinguish 
as ‘* R. pallidus Bab. (non Wh. et N.).” It is far the commonest of 
all the glandular forms seen by me in Mid-Wales, as throughout 
most of Central and N. England; and as the true R. pallidus of 
Weihe and Nees is now also found to be widely spread i in England, 
given by mistake is peculiarly inconvenient. A fresh description is 
unnecessary here, as the form is (on the whole) so carefully and 
aed distinguished from its allies in Brit. Rubi, pp. 204-206. But 
I should perhaps point out that the leaves are far from being uni- 
formly 5-nate, or the core uniformly pink, as there described ; 
and that the sepals are, as a rule, strongly reflexed, though often 
rising for a short time on rie fall of the petals. I think it may 
remain under Koehleri as a strongly marked var. or subsp., readily 
recognized as a rule by its long, narrow, lax panicle; its long, 
prostrate, very prickly and aciculate dull-red hairy stem; and its 
thick, patent-toothed leaves, yellowish green ane very soft ‘beneath. 
n weak forms, however, only the stem armature keeps ae 
Koehlerian, the intermediate prickles and ati or becomin 
ed rmtiarbi few on the panicle. This common British bies ante 
is certainly distinct from R. oso Muell. et Wirtg. a represented 
by Kent and Sussex specimens named for me by Dr. Focke) ; and I 
have ea nothing from the "Coutinant that could be placed with it.
