REPORT FOR 1914.

resemblance to R. hibernica, but clearly cannot be ranged under that 

 name, and, scientifically, it is impossible to call this R. involuta Sm., 

 as Mr Barclay does, the points of divergence being so great."— C. E. 

 Britton. " Nearer to the spinosissirna parent than these hybrids 

 usually are. At first glance it suggested to me R. mollis, var. coerulea, 

 as the other parent." — E. S. Marshall. 



Rosa involuta, var. Wilsoni Borrer. Growing on a very restricted 

 area on a bank at the edge of the Menai Strait, near Bangor, N. 

 Carnarvon, v,-c. 49, September 7, 1888. — C. Bailey. 



Fyrus torminalis Ehrh. "Long Cross," near St Newly n East, 

 W. Cornwall, June 1, 1914, and August 7, 1912 and 1914. Fairly 

 good specimens, I think. — C. C. Vigurs. 



Cratcegus monogyna Jacq., forma suhtrilohata Druce. [Ref. No. 

 154.] Virley, N. Essex, v.-c. 19, May 31, 1914. Teste G. C. Druce, 

 who says m lit. "A very interesting form — forma suhtrilohata.^^ — G. C. 

 Brown. 



Cratcegus oxyacanthoides Thuill., var. macrocarpa Heger. [Ref. 

 No. 70.J Yirley, N. Essex, v.-c. 19, May 31, 1914; fruit, September 

 6, 1914. Teste G. C. Druce. Mr Druce says in lit. "The leaves are 

 not quite typical oxyacanthoides. The size of the fruit brings it under 

 var. macrocarpa Heger, which I have seen in Essex, both North and 

 South."— G. C. Brown. 



Cratmgus oxyacanthoides Thuill. {oxyacantha L.). Hedgerow in 

 lane near Melmerby, Cumberland, v.-c. 70, August 3, 1914. — C. 

 Waterfall. " Under this, but not quite typical. Several forms 

 have only one style and the fruit is small, but the leaf-veining is 

 correct. I believe it is a new county record for v.-c. 70." — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Cratmgus oxyacantha L., var. Single tree at Wigginton, Oxon, 

 October 19, 1914. I doubt this identification; for though there are 

 two styles, and the fiuit is apparently smooth, yet the veins of the 

 leaves are frequently not incurved. The remarkable feature of the 

 tree is the flattened fruit, which is of about the same diameter as the 

 usual Cratmgus fruit, but very little more than half the length. The 

 haws packed separately shew the feature. The tree was noticed too 

 late for good specimens to be procurable. It is hoped that next year 

 better and completer specimens may be distributed, and some name 

 may be found for the variety. — H. J. Riddelsdell. "Material 

 shabby ; style solitary ; so it appears to be a striking leaf- variety of 

 C. monogyna Jacq." — E, S. Marshall. " An interesting looking 

 plant, but the specimen is without flowers, and the fruit is imperfect.
