496 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
gatherings of 1885, the following list of Rubi has been drawn up. 
The notes are in all cases Mr. Rogers’s :—Rubus Ideus L.—R. lasio- 
élados Focke, var. angustifolius Rogers. — R. echinatus? Lindl. — 
R. a Bell Salter. — R. rosaceus W. & N. A very strong 
form of the large aggregate R. rosaceus W.& N. It is very near to, 
if not ener with, the form for which Mr. Druce in his Fl. Berks 
suggests the varietal name bercherien nsis, and a near ally of var. 
hystrix, Yielding to Mr. Rogers's fuller study of the genus, Mr. 
Druce Se in his opinion that bercheriensis is scarcely entitled 
to varietal rank. — R. dasyphyllus Rogers = R. pallidus Bab., not 
| dimetor um W. & N. var. britannicus Rogers. Perhaps 
not quite typical, but better didek var. britannicus than under var. 
Jerox, to which it makes some approach. — R. corylifolius Sm. var. 
sublustris Lees.—Var. cyclophyllus Lindeb.—R. imbricatus Hort. 
remarkable form. On Putney Common I have seen together with 
it both the typical plant and an intermediate form.—R. carpinifolius 
W.&N. Very abundant. — R. incurvatus Bab. — R. Lindleianus 
F u mmon. 
—R, argentatus P. J. Muell., var. Very abundant. — R. a 
Mere.—R. rusticanus Merc c. flore pleno. For a number of years thi 
very beautiful ‘‘double’’ bramble, in which all the stamens ar 
converted into petals, has been known on the Common—three 
bushes of it—on that margin which fibina one side of Dorlcote 
The variety is, however, unrecorded as wild, but it is grown 
“3 dieasealtuiints for shrubbery planting. I recently ascertained 
that, before the College Park roads were laid out and houses creole 
twelve to fourteen years ago, a nursery garden existed on the site 
of Dorlcote Boed, hedged off from the Common at the a ‘of 
private ownership ; and my informant—who had been an employé 
in the pane eee this bramble as one of its specialities. 
lts — on the Common is thus fully explained. I have since 
seen a large clump of the same form in Kew aklipy under the 
name Rh. fa gs var. flore pleno.— WILLIAM 
ERIA oRIsTATA. — When at the Lizard, OE early in 
June, this year, I came across a considerable patch of a 4g ie 
to Koeleria cristata, though with marked characteristics of i 
Mr. Arthur Bennett, who has kindly examined the plant, belive 
that it is the variety villosa Lloyd, Fl. de l’Ouest ‘Ss la Fran 
(4th ed. le p. 403).— ILLER. 
Intropuctions.—In a pot sintée field near Edinburgh I gathered in 
August a fins plant of Melilotus suleata Desf. Another alien, which 
I found in considerable plenty on waste ground, Tunbridge Wells, 
is Potentilla recta L., recorded in the Flora ae Kent gabe two localities, 
but in different parts of the county.—W. F
