* There are other records of Rubi fruticosi in the various 

 floras of Liverpool, Alanckester, A:htQn, etc., but they are not 

 sufficiently trustworthy to admit them here, not through any 

 fault, perhaps, of the recorders, but because of the unsatisfactory 

 state of the literature on Rubi in this country previous to the 

 publication of the Handbook of the Rev. W. Moylc Rogers. Of 

 the 100 species of fruticose brambles described in the Handbook, 

 only thirty-three are here recorded, and this list comprises all 

 the known species. There should be fifty, and may be consider- 

 ably more. See pap^r °° 'Distribution of Rubi in Great 

 Britain,' by the Rev. W. M. Rogers, in the Journal of Botany 

 for Apr I, 1902 and August, 1905.

 Sub-class I. — Dicotyledones {continued) 

 Order XXVL— Rosacea (continued) 

 Rosa tomentosa, Sm. 59. 60. 69 



— canina, L. 



Most, if not all, the common varieties of 

 thisspecies are recorded for Lancashire. 

 There are no uncommon ones to en- 

 ter here. The roses have only been 

 partially studied in any part of the 

 county. It may be that the need of 

 a recent monograph is an excuse for 

 their neglect.
