Distinct from R. pyramidalit Kalt., as Dr. Focke considered 

 when he saw it growing near Plymouth in 1889. Nearer, I think, 

 to the roundish-leaved form of R. Jeucandrus referred to above as 

 abundant about Bournemouth, though much hairier than that, 

 lower growing, and with a somewhat different panicle.

 varnished," slightly hairy, angular. Prickles many, strong, com- 

 pressed, declining. L. 5-nate. Us. obovate-lanceolate, often much 

 narrowed below, irregularly toothed and wavy at the edge, pale green, 

 shining and nearly glabrous above, softly hairy and paler beneath ;

 densely cylindrical above, truncate at top, with divancate interlacing 



below ;

declining prickles, and sometimes a very few glands and an occasional 

 acicle. Sep. ovate, acuminate. Pet. oblong, attenuate below, 

 rather large, but not contiguous, white. Fr. small. 



A very widely distributed, and as a rule easily recognised 

 bramble. Hedges, wood-borders, &c.

NOTES ON PERTHSHIRE PLANTS. 



By Edward P. Linton, M.A., and Wm. R. Linton, M.A. 



In the following account of the results of a three weeks' stay in 

 Perthshire last summer, we have mentioned but a small proportion 

 of the rare and interesting plants we met with on excursions made 

 from Killin as our base, because the district has been as well 

 worked as any in Scotland, and we wish to avoid useless repe- 

 titions. ^ But the lower part of Glen Lyon, with its adjoining 

 mountains, has fallen under comparative neglect, we believe ; and 

 on this^ ground we have given rather a fall report of the plants 

 of any interest that we found in that district. Where Glen Lyon 

 is referred to in this paper, the last few miles above Fortingal 

 is the part of the glen intended, and the distance in miles from 

 Fortingal is usually added in a bracket. Culdamore is the name 

 of a large farm 1^ miles up the glen ; and Cam Mairg the highest 

 point of a ridge and group of mountains N. of the R. Lyon, 

 referred to here more than once. We can highly recommend 

 Fortingal to botanists as a convenient stopping-place ; there are 

 three or four good expeditions to make ; there is a comfortable, 

 well-conducted and inexpensive inn ; fine scenery, a Roman camp, 

 and a famous old yew tree in the churchyard, for which a greater 

 antiquity than the Roman camp is claimed (see Syme, E. B. viii. 283). 

 During a week of our stay at Killin, we had the pleasure and 

 advantage of the company of the Rev. E. S. and Mrs. Marshall ;
