102 A LIST OF PLANTS OBSERVED IN S. DERBYSHIRE. 
as understood by him. It is a different plant from anything which 
I have seen in the south-western counties, and answers much better 
to Prof. Babington’ 8 description of R. thyrsoideus Wimm. in the 
‘Journal of Bota any’ for July, 1886, p. 220, than to that in ‘ Brit. 
— : the sree crm which had, I think, been collected 
near Rep It i very marked bramble when seen growing, 
and is dlunly sattened over the adjoining parts of putty! 
R. rusticanus Mere. (R. discolor Bab.). Hedges and bank 
R. macroacanthus Blox am. Between White Lees and Pedal 
stone, pasts teste Blowam. 
R tachys Sm. Hedges between Calke and the foot of 
Piston “Till, and elsewhere. The a - are there of a deeper 
pink than in any other bramble kno me. In He ma 
vies I first became acquainted with thie species, the petals are 
usually white, et a in the wood forms, and hence until : went 
to live in Derbyshire Mr. Borrer’s account of their colour in ‘ Eng. 
Bot. Suppl.’ sade me. In N. Staffordshire also the petals are 
white, thus _— how little reliance can be placed on colour as 
a, distinctive mark. 
R. periets Blox. ! Bank of the Ashby Road, over Pistern Hill; 
also at Dimminsdale, Calke. A fine distinct- looking bramble, which 
I have only seen in Derbyshire and Leicestershire. It was first 
pointed out to me by the Rev. W. H. Coleman, and my specimens 
R. carpinifolius of Bloxa m! (R. macrophyllus var. umbrosus ot 
Babington). Roadside-banks — ween Calke and Melbourne, and 
sagianden Confirmed by Bloxam. 
R. macrophyllus var. Baie Hither this or a form of 
Schlectendalii on the edge of a plantation at Melbourne. Mr. 
Bloxam oe between ices two names. 
R and R. Borrert Bell Salt. Hedges between Calke 
and Malou, and near Southwood Farm. Probably most of the

R. Radula. Hedge-bank of he Ashby Road, on Pistern Hill. 
Confirmed by Bloxam. — Var. Bloxamianus Bote an. Under 
this name I intend a bramble which is not uncommon on the 
borders of Derbyshire and Leicestershire, ca which was first 
pointed out to me by the Rev. W. H. Coleman as distinguished 
from R. Radula by the eae dense clothing of sete on its 
barren stem, between which s and the prickles, which are 
moderate-sized and chiefly cea to the ‘cihae. there is very 
little gradation. The leaflets of this bramble are roundly-obovate-
