72 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



Orobanche purpurea Jacq. in Pembrokeshire. — In July last 

 Mr. J. E. Arnett, of Tenby, kindly sent me a specimen of this 

 plant, which he had gathered near the town the day before. It is, 

 I believe, an addition to the flora of the county. — Eiohard F. 

 Towndrow. 



Berks and Hants Rubi. — I devoted a good deal of attention last 

 summer to the bramble-flora of the gravel-capped commons sur- 

 rounding Newbury, where Rubus is strongly represented by an 

 interesting series of forms. At Greenham this is especially the 

 case, but here frequent furze-fires have a disfiguring effect on the 

 landscape, and must check considerably the luxuriance of the 

 bushes. The following notes are the results of my investigations, 

 and are mostly additional to the records in Mr. Druce's account of 

 Berks Rubi in his flora of the county. An asterisk denotes a new 

 county record: — Rubus nitidus Wh. & N. Greenham Common.— 

 R. carpinifolius Wh. & N. Chapel Row, Bucklebury. — R. rkombi* 

 /alius Weihe. Greenham Common ; one large bush near the 

 vicarage, — *JR. hirtifolius Muell. & Wirtg. var. mollissimus Rogers. 

 Greenham Common, in two spots. — R. radula Weihe var. echina- 

 toides* Abundant on Greenham Common, especially near Berry s 

 Bank. — JR. echinatus Lindl. Near Donnington Castle. — R. Lejeunei 

 Weihe & Nees var. ericetorum Lefev. Thicket in Hamstead Park. 



R. pallidas Wh. & N. Snelsmore and Greenham Commons. 

 R. foliosus Wh. & N. Croofvham Common. — R. rosaceus Wh. & N. 

 var. in fe cumins Rogers. Lane near Hamstead, Marshall. — R. Koch- 

 leri. A distinct-looking bramble — which Mr. Rogers says is very 

 like the Staffordshire plant referred to in Handbook Brit. Rubi, 

 p. 184, as R. distractus — grows in a lane at Wash Common. — ■& 

 Marshalli Focke & Rogers. Crookham Common. — :c Var. semigUiber 

 Rogers. Greenham Common, but with the leaves untypical. — The 

 following are additional Hants records: — *B. Roger sii Linton. 

 Damp copse near Newtoun, North Hants ; new to Hants mainland. 



R. mxicronat m Blox. var. nudicaulis Rogers. Otterburne Common. 



R. rudis Wh. & N. Near Sydmonton, North Hants.— My thanks 

 are due to Mr. Rogers, who, as usual, has assisted me with difficult 

 plants. — A. Bruce Jackson.
