RELATION OF BRITISH FORMS OF RUBI TO CONTINENTAL TYPES. 73 
Focke has kindly sent me a specimen of the German type, which is 
totally different from the plant to which we have been applying the 
name, and looks also totally different from R. Leightoni Lees. Dr. 
Focke has recently identified with the German rudis a Surrey plant 
gathered by Mr. Beeby. See also Prof. Babington’s remarks on 
R. Lohrii Wirtg. (‘ British Rubi,’ p. 186).

Silesia, two sent by Dr. Focke and two by Dr. F. W. Areschong, and 
they quite agree with one another, and differ materially from any- 
thing I have scen in Britain. Of R. saltuum I have specimens, SO 
called, from Oldenburg, Schaffhausen, and Geneva, and exactly the 
same plant from Central France, labelled by Genevier as fi. flexuosus 
of Muller and Lefevre, of which there is a very full description in 
= ‘Pollichia,’ as just cited, and which is an earlier name than 
saituum.

88. R. pallidus W. & N. Rubi Germ. t. 89 = R. obliquus Wirtg. 
— Nyman does not admit this as British, and Dr. Focke considers 
*, R, fuscus W. & N. Rubi Germ. t. 27. — This I collected 
both in the neighbourhood of Spa and nea Heidelberg. Itis closely 
idland Counties and Cheshire 
allied to the last. ies ¢ es 
(the latter collected by Mr. Warren) which was distributed under 
the name of fuscus by Bloxam requries further study, but I know 
too little about it to offer any opinion with confidence. The plant 
I mean is that from Great Cowleigh Park, mentioned by Babington 
under hirtus at p. 251 of ‘ British Rubi.’ ; 
R. longithyrsiger Lees MSS. = R. pyramidalis Bab., non Kalten- 
bach. — So far as present knowledge goes, this 1s an endemic 
British form, belonging to Watson’s Atlantic type of distribution. 
I have seen it growing plentifully both in Devonshire and Wales, 
but nowhere in the east or north of England.
