Leicestershire, dated 1852, contained records of thirty-two = 
and Ape were printed in the later flora of the county, publish 
1886. The number of species and varieties noted up to the end of 
last season (1905) was about seventy, so that as regards North 
England, Leicestershire stands second only to Stafford in the num- 
ber of = bramble forms. 
Rusvus wavs L. Ml distributed in Leicestershire, and now 
recorded trom a all the dist: 
wh , between Ulverscroft and Stony- 
well I Wood. a 1896, Mott. Very rare in Leicestershire 
R. pricatus W. a N. Mr. Rogers found what he believes to be 
an immature form of this in a field near Ulverscroft in 1899, but 
mature stem-pieces are desirable. It seems that little reliance can 
be placed on either the plicatus and nitidus records of Bloxam and 
Coleman, judging from their specimens so name 
R., carprnirotius W. & N. Ulverscroft Lane, near sae WM. R. 
The only definite station in the county. Much of Bloxam’s carpini- 
folius was certainly pulcherrimus Neum

teristic in the Castle Donington district, as at Belton Asplands, 
Piper Wood, and Worthi ington ; Swannington ; Sinope. 
R. purescens W.R.L. One or two bushes of this very rare 
bramble Pub found by Mr. Rogers on rough ground near South 
Wood, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, in 1902, associated with commoner 
species. It differs slightly from the Derbyshire plant. In 1903 
Mr. Routh and I found abundant and characteristic bushes of it in 
a lane near Packington ; since seen in fruit at Nees and on 
Rothley Plain. Will probably prove to be not uncommon in the 
forest district. Previously known only from i and Mid Derby-
