ORDER ROSACEA. 8 1 



Lake sub-species. Keswick, Watendlath, Borrowdale, Amble- 

 side, Haweswater, Grasmere, Wastdale Head, Coniston 

 (where it ascends to 300 yards), Valley of St. John, Withers- 

 lack, Grange-over-Sands, Newby Bridge, Ulverstone, Great 

 Strickland, etc. I have gathered a plant that matches the 

 well-known R. laciniatus of gardens in hedges near the Post 

 Office at Grasmere, and a form with less decidedly laciniated 

 leaves and ascending sepals between Ulverstone and Swarth- 

 more Hall. I have dried specimens of all the Lake forms of 

 fruticose Rubi and placed them in the Kew Herbarium. 



340 — 7. Rubus Lindleianus, Lees. A universally distributed 

 Lake sub-species. Keswick, ascending Borrowdale to Sea- 

 tollar, Ambleside, Bowness, and high up the Troutbeck valley, 

 Sawrey, and woods about the Ferry Inn, Coniston village, 

 Witherslack, Newby Bridge, Arnside, Watermillock, Grange- 

 over-Sands, Humphrey Head, Cartmel, Ulverstone, etc. 



340 — 8. Rubus rhamnifolius, W. and N. Widely spread, 

 but not so common at the Lakes as affinis, Lindleianus, um- 

 brosus, and pallidus, which are the four most predominant 

 bramble types. 



Var. cordifolius abundant about Keswick, especially in the 

 lane leading towards Skiddaw from the railway station ; also 

 in the Witherslack valley, and about Coniston, and in Tilber- 

 thwaite Ghyll. The smaller-leaved finely-serrated typical 

 rhamnifolius in the lane near the Druidic Circle at Keswick, 

 Lodore Woods, and in Borrowdale, at Stonethwaite, and be- 

 tween Grange and Castle Crag. I have seen the sub-species 

 also at Sawrey, Holme Mill, high up Troutbeck, at Clibburn, 

 Lowther, and in the Vale of St. John. There is a form with 

 leaves densely hairy beneath, very near the Llanberis incur- 

 vatus, below Watermillock, where it was shown me by Mr. W. 

 Hodgson, and in several other places round Ullswater, and I 

 have seen it also at the foot of Haweswater.
