THE BRAMBLES {Rub't) 



There are very few, if any, districts of equal extent in Great Britain 

 that have had their brambles so diligently studied as south Devon. 

 This remark is especially true of as much of the county as lies within 

 twelve miles of Plymouth, and so is included in the late T. R. Archer 

 Briggs' Flora of Plymouth ; but it is scarcely less applicable to such 

 further parts of south Devon as intervene between that district and 

 Exeter. The brambles of the western half of north Devon are also 

 fairly well known. On the other hand very little has yet been done by 

 students of the genus in the extreme east of the county extending from 

 Exeter to the Dorset border in the south, and from Ilfracombe to the 

 Somerset border in the north. 



The total number of bramble forms already known for the county 

 is 87. Of these 58 are classed as species, the remaining 29 taking rank 

 as sub-species or varieties. Out of the aggregate number 87, 66 are 

 known to occur in south Devon, the number for north Devon being 63 ; 

 while 49 only are common to both divisions. In the abundance of the 

 individual bushes as well as in the number of distinct forms, the southern 

 vice-county as a whole seems considerably richer than the northern ; and 

 further research is hardly likely to reverse this estimate. On the north 

 coast the forms are comparatively few ; and though many of great 

 interest are found in the valley of the Upper Tamar and on parts of the 

 moorland between that river and the town of Crediton, no part of the 

 north seems likely to be found so full of different brambles as the country 

 near Plymouth or the valley of the Teign.
