832 SUPPLEMENT TO NOTES ON RUBI.

Baker (Think, rae 12th, 7868), with the name of &. nemoralis 
I quite think is not the case. I am inclined to place it next to 
R. Colemani, as a form distinct from that so-named. 
Dr. Buchanan White sends me a bramble which seems to agree 
tes the R. ammobius Focke. He finds it near Perth. It differs 
tus, according to Focke’s description, by having 
© farionibas teretiusculis superne obsolete angulatis.”” The Perth 
specimen has an exactly square (tetrangular) stem. Focke’s speci- 
mens have the stem 5-angular. I define it :— 
R. ammozivs Focke; stem Lick arcuate angular ; prickles small, 
short, declining from a long compressed base; leaves aie 
beneath, very jinely dentate-serrate ; leaflet bro adly pa or 
rate acuminate, basal leaflets a Protcee lateral leaflets of the 
flowering shoot ovate, but rather dilated exte rnally ; flowers in a 
long leafy panicle, rachis and peduncles eas agro frnitsepal 
reflexed, petals pale rose-colour, stamens white, eeding the 
greenish styles. The prickles are very stilt, their langtl aloes 
equalling the extent of their compressed base. The upper leaves 
are sometimes 7-nate. Sepals leaf- pointed, dark green externally. 
‘This is not very sa tisfactorily determined. Focke’s description 
p. 118, it is omitted in the index) does not agree very well with 
specimen now elie me (from Burgsteinport, Aug. 10th, 1876), 
especially in the shape of the stem. The panicle of our plant is 
very narrow, but long : it is much shorter and broader on that 
ecimen. 
Our plant grows on an island in ue tes Tay near Perth, 
where it was found by Dr. Buchanan 
t may be convinces to British b asa if 1 add definitions of
