6 RELATION OF BRITISH FORMS OF RUBI TO CONTINENTAL TYPES. 
of which wmbrosus is placed as a subordinate form by Nyman. This 
I believe is the position of a Surrey plant lately named R. Newmanni 
by Dr. Focke for sec Bennett and Beeby, and most likely also

of R. leucandrus, mentioned by Focke as probably British.

I cannot — Bloxam’s calvatus with the figure of sylvaticus in 
‘Rubi Germanici.’ R. calvatus I should like to class as a distinct 
subspecies of this present group, coming in between villicaulis and 
rhamnifolius. The claims of ss count type to be registered as 
British need further ae ae

— This is a well-marked bramble, with a rather restricted con-

(figured ‘ Flora Danica,’ tab. 2720), kept up as distinct by Nyman 
differs mainly from the large Borrert of the Surrey ae by its 
ned petals = short stamens, and will probably be found in

Besides these, I should prefer : classify with the Villicaules the
