NOTES ON BEISTOL PLANTS. 



By James W. White, F.L.S., and David Fry. 



This paper contains a notice of species not included in the 

 Flora of the Bristol Coal-fields, or notes supplemental thereto 

 published in the Transactions of the Bristol Naturalists' Society. 

 A few lately-discovered additional stations for rare and local plants 

 are also given. It will be seen that the notes in great part refer to 

 newly- differentiated forms of Rubus and Hieracium, upon which 

 intricate genera the energy of field botanists is at present being 

 largely expended. Some of these forms, although known upon the 

 Continent, do not appear in the London Catalogue, and have not 

 been described by British authors. The capital letters G. or S. 

 mark the divisions of the district as defined in the Flora, and refer 

 respectively to the vice-counties of West Gloucester and North 

 Somerset. Vice-comital records are marked *. 



Erysimum repandum L. G. On rubbish in St. Philip's Marsh, 

 Bristol, the last three years, in plenty. Casual. A native of Central 

 Europe. 



* Rubus opacns Focke. S. On the peat-moor near the railway 

 between Edington and Ashcot. Abundant, but not recognised 

 before September last, when some capital specimens were gathered 

 and submitted to the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers. This bramble is 

 intermediate between ajinis and plicatus. It produces abundance 

 of fine fruit, and is a handsome plant, far stronger than our southern 

 plicatus ever becomes. Some panicles, gathered at the time named, 

 measured over 2 ft. ; and leaves of the barren shoot attain the 

 length of 9 in. The basal leaflets of the latter are distinctly 

 stalked, the panicle is unarmed, and the sepals for the most part 

 are roundish oval, with short points. The sepals of plicatus, on the 

 contrary, are commonly prolonged at the tips into linear points of 

 great length. 



R. ajfinis W. & N. S. On the peat-moors near Edington and 

 Shapwick. Here quite typical, being identical with the Dorset 



plants which Dr. Focke refers to in his ' Notes on British Rubi,'
