Bi Grifithianus Rog.” ; by Rev. W. M. Rogers in 1901, “ Rf. pre- 
ruptorum Boul,” Mr. Rogers had the advantage of seeing a large 
series of this plant, and, judging from a comparison of Carnarvon- 
shire specimens of R. Griffithianus, I believe his decision to be 
nearer the fact. This, if really identical with the Dorset plant 
named Rf. Peeters e eon should be an interesting additional 
record. It is abundan at Upp er Sapey Common in woods an 
edges, . ata as the locality is close to the borders of Worcester- 
shire, it should be found also in that county.— AUGUSTIN ‘

Cheshire, 15th August, 1901. This curious and interesting plant 
many of its leaves; but some of its flowers were still open or even 
in bud. The univ rordaliy barren fruit on so large and well-grown a 
bash suggested hybridity, while its slender, straightish prickles (at 
least on most of the branches), very compound-serrate leaves, hairy 
on both sides, very pubescent and glandular peduncles, pointed to 
tomentosa as one parent. For the other I can only say canina (sp. 
agg.), all the characters by which the oo ean be determined

say that the exsertion of the styles is less prominent than in several 
of my authenticated gatherings of R. tomentella, R. dumalis, and other 
canina segregates, and is much less than I should have expected in 
a plant with arvensis parentage, especially in fruits so shrivelled ; 
whereas the above-mentioned difficulty in Fentguinng leaf an
