RUBI AND ROS^E OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. 295 



cjesii. 



R. dumetOPUm, Wh. $ N., ferox, Weihe. Generally distributed, but 

 variable, as in Britain. Brittany : La Garaye, with white petals, as 

 usually in England. Normandy : Near Coutances, with pink petals, as in 

 Germany ; Lison. 



Var. diversifolius (LindL). Sark : Banks near the Dixcart Hotel, a 

 weak form. 



Var. tuberculatus, Bab. Jersey : Between Les Marais Railway Station 

 and Fauvic, in some quantity. 



R. COrylifolius, 8m. (sp. coll.). Guernsey : Cobo ; near Vale Church. Sark. 

 Jersey : Gorey ; Anne Port ; Grosnez. 



a. Sublustris (Lees). Jersey: Bouley Bay ; the type. 



b. Cyclophyllus, Lindeb. Guernsey : Fairly frequent. Jersey : 

 Bouley Bay. 



R. BalfOUrianUS, Blox. Sark : Very characteristic, though weaker than the 

 average plant. Jersey : Head of the Val des Vaux ; an exceedingly 

 luxuriant form. 



R. eaesius, L. Guernsey: Rather frequent. Jersey: Les Marais ; Corbiere. 

 Not observed in great quantity. Normandy : Very general and variable. 



R. laeiniatus, WiUd. Guernsey : Pecit Bot Bay ; not quite the usual form. 



The only hybrid Rubi seen in the Channel Islands, as to the origin 



of which there seemed little room for doubt, are the following : — 



R. rhamnifolius x leucostachys. Jersey : Rozel — R. rusticanus x tuberculatus. 



Jersey : Les Marais. 



A very brief notice of other Rubi observed in Brittany 

 or Normandy, though not in the Channel Islands, may be of 

 interest here. 



R. SUbereetUS, Anders. Brittany : In the valley of the R. Ranee, near 

 Dinan. A nearly unarmed but well-marked form of this species. 



R. erythrinus, Genev. Brittany: La Garaye and elsewhere in the Dinan 

 neighbourhood ; common. Clearly the same plant as the one we are 

 naming R. erythrinus in England, though showing a tendency to a broader 

 and so more nearly subrotund terminal leaflet. At La Garaye occurs in 

 some quantity what seems to be R. erythrinus x micans, R. micans being 

 abundant there also. The apparent absence of R. erythrinus from the 

 Channel Islands is remarkable. 



R. Oigoelados, Muell. $ Lefv. Apparently a form of this. Brittany : Near 

 Dinan. Normandy : Near Coutances. Journal of Botany. — Vol. 36, 

 March, 1898. 



R. Babingtonii, Bell- Salt. Normandy : Border of Moulineux Forest. A 

 weak form, thus named by Dr. Focke. 



R. POSaeeus, Wh. § N. (sp coll.). Brittany : Near Dinan ; a form near the 



British var. infecundus, Rogers. 

 R. QuestiePii x rusticanus. Normandy : Near Coutances. 



ROS^E. 



Rosa pimpinellifolia, L. Guernsey : Grande Havre. Sark. Jersey : 



Frequent along the coast. 

 R. PUbiginOSa, L. Guernsey : Perrelle Bay. Sark, Mr. Derrick ! Jersey : 



Gorey. Perhaps doubtfully native. 

 R. miepantha, 8m. Sark. Jersey : Pont Marquet.
