37i THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



Some years ago he presented a comprehensive herbarium of 

 the local flora to the Societe Jersiaise, and in his \Yill he left 

 another to the Victoria College (Boys' Grammar School), and 

 a third to the Jersey Ladies' College. His own herbarium was 

 left to his son, Mr. F. G. Piquet, pharmacist, of St. Helier, to 

 whom I am indebted for most of the particulars contained in the 

 foregoing sketch. 



His engaging personality will, I believe, be always impressed 

 on those of his brother botanists who had the good fortune to 

 come into contact with him, for his smile of affectionate greeting 

 ever went to the heart of things. p^ ^ ^^ Peeeedes. 



SHORT NOTES. 



EuBUS GLAREOSUS, sp. nov. (p. 309). — I am indebted to Mr. 

 W. P. Hiern for directing my attention to a rather serious omis- 

 sion in my article on "A New British Eubus.'' In accordance 

 with Article 36 of the Eules for Botanical Nomenclature, my paper, 

 in order to make its publication of the species "valid," should 

 have contained "a Latin diagnosis" of the species: this I now 

 supply. It has been drawn up at my request by the Eev. 

 E. S. Marshall, who first showed me living bushes of the bramble 

 in 1890, and has been associated with me ever since in the 

 occasional study of it : — 



Rubus glareosus, sp. nov. Caulis elongatus arcuato- 

 prostratus, obtuse vel acute angulatus, pruinosus, in locis apricis 

 triste purpurascenti-ruber, pilis brevibus confertis, tuberculis 

 irregulariter sparsis, necnon glandulis stipitatis aculeolisque 

 inaequalibus sed plerumque brevissimis dense vel subdense 

 indutus, hinc inde in faciebus aciculo glandulifero praedictus. 

 Aculei numerosi, validiores ac subcequales, basibus magnis com- 

 2Jressis, vix nisi ex angulis orti. Folia ternato-quinato-_2Jec?a^ti 

 (quinata perpauca) ; ternatorum folioli laterales gibbosi vel pro- 

 funde fissi. Folioli angusti obovati siqyerne opaci subglabri, 

 inferne pallidiores et in nervis pubescentes ; petioli armatura 

 atque indumento cauli similes ; petioluli cum costis mediis 

 aculeatissimi. Foliolus terminalis petiolulo suo subtriplo longior, 

 in ajncem longum sensim acu7]iinatus, supra medium usque ad 

 basiii integram szibcuneatam gradatissime attenuatus ; dentes 

 acuti vel acuminati, supra medium folioli plerumque plus minus 

 compositi, inferiores paene integri. Stipulae angustae, lineares vel 

 lineari-lanceolatse, dense glanduloso-ciliatae. Panicula laxa, 

 superne pyramidalis subracemosa, vel magis composita vagula 

 truncata, demum prcesertim lUtr a- axillaris ; bracteas summae 

 elongatae angustae profunde fissae, folio uno alterove ovato integro 

 supposito ; rami inferiores racemoso-corymbosi, in plantis robus- 

 tioribus paniculas secundarias simulantes, erecto-patentes vel 

 patuli. Eachis pedunculique tomentoso-hirsutissimi, glandulis 

 nigrescentibus confertissimis valde incEqualibns stipitatis at pube 

 pilerumque obtectis, aciculis nonnulis glanduliferis aculeisque 

 numerosis gracilioribus declinatis vel curvulis induti setulas
