SHORT NOTES 59 
Rusus mutasinis Genev. var. NaALDRETTI mihi (see p. 24).— 
The concurrence of Mr. Moyle Rogers in my view as to the 
distinctness of this plant as a variety worthy of name induces me 
to record more definitely its claims to that position. If the some-

(quoted in the last number of this Journal, p. 24) be inadequate to 
stand as publication, the present note will suffice for that purpose.

the case of a metropolitan county for which the are so

tion of gett various species throughout all the districts has always
