I cannot see the propriety of uniting this as a variety to 
R. — as Mr. Ley does in Lond. Cat. 10, even if specific 
onceded to the bttse at all. The prickles fe var. 
t ) 
nate, spreading-erect sepals, but it lacks the long straightish 
prickles on stem, and the strongly armed petioles of that species. 
Déséglise has placed a@ specimen in his cover of fi. Leigh 
st., i 
main there. He 
did not write the name on it, as he usually did, while ie parsinient 
sepals and hispid styled: ahicckately exclude it from that species. 
So far as I am aware it has never been gathered anywhere 
except on Wimbledon Common, where I believe only a single 
bush existed, and that is now extinct. I have, however, just seen 
a specimen collected at Foxhall, N. Hants, by Mr. Druce in nee 
which differs only in its woolly styles.
