﻿PLANTS OBSERVED DURING 1898. 145 



with pale pink flowers (which, I think, occurs between Sandwich 

 and Deal) is plentiful in sea-sand east of Littlestone. Mr. Bennett 

 remarks : — " This appears to be the var. glandulosum Bosch, Fl. But. 

 p. 55 (1850), and I suppose is the same as Boreau's E. pilosum (Fl. 

 du Centre, p. 109)." 



Rubusfissus Lindley. Wood near Paddlesworth, 15.* 



R. leucostachys x rusticanus. About Hawkinge and Paddlesworth, 

 in several spots, 15.* 



R. lasioclados Focke. Borders of a wood near Paddlesworth, 

 15.| This has been referred by Mr. Moyle Rogers, in his recent 

 'Notes on Bubi,' to leucostachys, of which, however, the living plant 

 did not greatly remind me. The woolly clothing of the stems, and 

 especially of the panicle-branches, is very remarkable. This sub- 

 species is described (from near Aix-la-Chapelle) in Syn. Rub. Germ. 

 pp. 198-9. Dr. Focke there says :— « Differt a R. Winteri typico : 

 turionibus dense pilosis, infiorescentias ramulis, pedicellis calyci- 

 busque tomentoso-hirsutis, foliolis subtus molliter tomentoso-pilosis, 

 floribus albis. Foliola terminalia lata saape suborbicularia, in- 

 florescentia aculeis validis crebris armata." 



R. carpinifolius Wh. & N. A plant with very showy inflorescence, 

 occurring at Willesborough Lees, 15,* seems to be best placed here ; 

 the barren stems appear to be quite typical. 



R. pulcherrimus Neuman. Wood near Paddlesworth ; near Sand- 

 ling Park; and plentifully at Willesborough Lees, 15.* 



R. adomatus P. J. Muell. Near Sandling Park, 15.* 



R. Lejeunei Weihe. A bramble which grows in great plenty 

 about Sandling Junction and Westenhanger, as well as at Kennard- 

 ington and Willesborough Lees, 15,* is considered by Mr. Rogers 

 to be identical with Surrey plants so named by Dr. Focke ; but the 

 latter hinted at a hybrid origin for the specimen sent to him, which 



stand for it, the form in question is a well-marked and abundant 

 one over a considerable area. 



R. foliomis Weihe. Woods near Paddlesworth and Lyminge, 15.* 

 R. Bellardi Weihe. Copse bordering on Sandling Park, 15.* 

 Besides the above, three or four striking brambles are still un- 

 determined ; one of these, from the same station as Bellardi, being 

 apparently near R. Wahlbergii Arrh. Three seeming hybrids of R. 

 cadus L. were met with. The first, from a copse on the chalk 

 between Paddlesworth and Folkestone, looks like a cross with R. 

 horridus (dumetorum ferox) ; another, from a stream-side between 

 Smeeth and Westenhanger, which has subterete, weak trailing 

 stems, thickly beset with short straight prickles and somewhat 

 glandular, bright rose-coloured petals, and stamens falling short of 

 the styles, the leaves being thin and very rugose, may, in Dr. 

 Focke's opinion, be due to a union with R. rosaceus or one of its 

 allies; and the third, also a trailing, rosy-flowered little plant 

 from a wood near Smeeth Station, but distinct from the other, 

 is called by him "a corylifolian " (i.e. "ceesian") form near my
