JJ. rusticanus = my discolor. What was the colour of the petals ? 

 Judging from specimens I do not think that it is the R. macroa- 

 canthus of Bloxam or of Baker. — C. C. Babington. 



R. calvatus, Blox. Bradley, S. Derbyshire, August, 1889. 

 This plant is frequent in S. Derbyshire ; it is definite in habit 

 and appearance. I think it is a Midland type, and am inclined 

 to question the identity with it of many plants so named from 

 more southern and eastern counties. — Wm. R. Linton. Yes. — 

 C. C. Babington. 



R. Sprengeliiy Weihe. Epping Forest, Essex, October 4th, 



1883. — Wm. R. Linton. That is to say var. R. Borreri. — C. C. 

 Babington. 



R. Hysirix, Weihe. Yeldersley, S. Derbyshire, August 21st, 

 i88g. Agrees with a plant from Shirley which was so named 

 by Dr. Focke.— Wm. R. Linton. Yes.— C. C. Babington. 



jg. Scaber). Hadley, Middlesex, October 4th, 



1884. — Wm. R. Linton. I think that this is B. prcerupiorum, —

 — Wm. R. Linton. Diversifolius. — C. C. Babington. 



B,. . Shirley, S. Derbyshire, July 19th, 1887. Dr. 



Focke said of this plant " with us in Germany it would be named 

 R. oreogeion, Focke." It appears to me to be near diversifolius , 

 yet distinct. — Wm. R. Linton. I have not seen Focke's oreogeton. 

 Being Silesian it may be doubted, the specimens correspond 

 well with the imperfect description in his book, p. 404. — C. C. 

 Babington. 



R. affinis, W. and N. var. cordif alius (W. and N.). Rudyard 

 Reservoir, Staffordshire, 600 ft., August 27th, 1889.— W. H. 

 Painter. Lentiginosus.—C. C. Babington. 



R. villicaulis, Koehl. Near Biddu-lph Hall, N. Staffordshire, 

 600 ft., August 20th, 1889. Dr- Focke remarks upon this **the 

 same as named ' calvatus' by Mr. Bloxam."— W. H. Painter. 

 This is a plant about which I have had much doubt, but I still 

 say I think a form of i2. villicaulis " and am glad to see that 

 Focke says so. — C. C. Babington.

 August ist, 1889.— fide Professor Babington, 1888. J. T. Powell.
