Stems slender, much branched ; flowers from the forks or the 

 axils of the leaves. Sepals 3-veined. Fruit-stalks much longer 

 than the capsules, usually (perhaps always! curved at the top 

 when the fruit is not quite ripe, but ultimately straight. Capsules 

 not inflated below, not hard and brittle when ripe, but giving way 

 to pressure ; usually (but not always) rather longer than the 

 calyx. All the organs much smaller than those of R. serpilli- 

 folia, scarcely of half their size. 



It remains to be discovered how far this is a common plant in 

 England. My specimens are from Sidmouth, Devon ; Clevedon, 

 Somerset ; and Henfield, Sussex. Mr Xewbould has found it in 

 many places in Cambridgeshire. 



No. Y. Ox SEVERAL BRAMBLES. 



There are two species of Bramble named in this Catalogue, 

 which do not appear in the fourth edition of the Manual of Bri- 

 tish Botany; I have therefore thought it proper to introduce 

 here some extracts from my manuscript Monograph of the British 

 Rubi relating to them. 



9. R. althceifolius (Host) ; stem prostrate, slightly angular, 

 with scattered hairs and set®; prickles many, unequal, 

 slender, patent from an oblong compressed base; leaves 

 quinate or ternate ; leaflets crenately lobed, pale green, and 

 with hairs on the veins or loose white tomentum beneath ; 

 inferior leaflets of the ternate leaves retrorsely bipartite, 

 of the quinate leaves sessile, not overlapping the interme- 

 diate leaflets; terminal leaflet rhomboidal-oboTate, sub- 

 cordate below; panicle leafy, with the axillary branches 

 and top racemose-corymbose, with few very short setse, 

 the prickles on the middle of the rachis longest and
