H. Painter. I think that this is a form of scahrosus. — C. C. 

 Babington. 



R. caesius, L., var. ? On limestone, Ingleton, N.W. Yorks., 

 Aug., 1887.— P. F. Lee. Sprowston, Norfolk, Sept. 28th, 1885. 

 — E. F. Linton. Both apparently var. tenuis. — C. C. Babington. 



Ruhus . Wood at Claughton, Cheshire, Sept. 14th, 



1886. — A. E. LoMAX. Diver sifolius, I suppose, but not certainly. 

 — C. C. Babington. 



Rulus . Bank by wood, near Hastings, Sept., 1887.— 



R. Paulson. This may be teretiusculus, Kaltenb., but that 

 has a few short set^ on the stem. I find no trace of them here. 

 Can it be a weak form of Schlectendahlii ? — C. C. Babington. 



Rulus Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6, 9. Chelsham, Surrey, August, 1886. — 

 H. T. Mennell. No. 2. Lejeunii. No. 3. I think it is 

 pyramidalis, Kalt. No. 4. Corijlifolius, a. suUustris. People 

 should try to name their specimens before sending them. How 

 otherwise are they to learn } No. 6. Rosaceus. No. 9. Schlec- 

 tendahlii. — C. C. Babington. 



Ruhus No. 10. Titsey woods, Surrey; bright red petals. — 

 H. T. Mennell. Foliage bad : more care should be taken. 

 Pyramidalis, Kalt. 7 — C. C. Babington. A better barren shoot 

 of this should be supplied another time ; only one poor piece 

 sent.— E. F. L. 



Rosa micrantha, Sm. Near Gloddaeth, Llandudno, August, 



1887. — J. E. Griffith. I consider this a rubiginosa form, not 

 micj'antha. The prickles are like those of the vars. sylvicola and 

 comosa ; but the fruit has not reached its final shape and is not 

 distinguishable from ordinary riiliginosa. This should be 

 looked after about Michaelmas. Mr, Bennett, referring to a 

 note from me upon this, says, As with you Mr. Baker would 

 put it under R. rubiginosa.^'' With the specim.en I took for 

 myself was a piece of R. agrestis {sepiiwi), by accident, I suppose. 

 — E. F. Linton. 



R. micrantha, Sm. Near Bangor, September, 1887.--}. E. 

 Griffith. Correct. — E. F. Linton. 



R. ionie?ilosa, Sm., var. subglobosa, Sm. Wensleydale, Yorks., 

 August, 1887. — C. Cotton. Good subglobosa. ~'E. F. Linton. 



R. canina, L., var. collina, Jacq. Shirley, Derby, July 4th, 

 1887. — W. R. Linton. Mr. Baker agrees with the name I 

 altered this to, viz. R. Koscinciajta, Besser. — A. Bennett. 



R. canina, L., var. ccEsia^ Sm. Bradley, Derby, July, 1887. — 

 W. R. Linton. Correct. — A. Bennett. 



R. canina, L., var. Reuteri, Godet. Wensleydale, Yorkshire, 

 August, 1887. — C. Cotton. Correct. — E. F. Linton.
