ON THE RELATION OF THE BRITISH FORMS OF 
RUBI TO THE CONTINENTAL TYPES. 
By J. G. Baxer, F.R.S. 
(Continued from p. 7.) 
In the present paper I propose to deal with the range of form 
characterised by hairy barren stems and equal prickles. _ before, 
the groups and numbers are those of Nyman’s ‘ Conspectu 
—- 83.—CANDICANTES. 
10. R. thyrsoideus Wimm.—This is marked by its high-arching 
stems, barren stem sabia ea and quite glabrous when piper 
leaflets twice as long as broad, not nearly so white beneath as 
discolor, a long lax narrow panicle cera 7 beyonl the Teavea in its
