R. plicatus, W. andN. Biddulph, Staffs., July, 1890.— W. H. 

 Painter. I feel a difficulty in naming these specimens. The 

 short styles and distinctly stalked basal leaflets point to 7iitidus, 

 yet perhaps on the whole the plant is as near or nearer to 

 plicatus. — W. M. E. 



Ruhus sp. ? near Lindleianus, Lees. Snaresbrook, Essex, Aug , 

 1891. — J. T. Powell. Unmistakeable Lindleianus, though rather 

 ^eak.— W. M. E. 



R. incurvatus, Bab. Criccieth, Carnarvon, July, 1890. — W. H. 

 Painter. No doubt right, though the panicle from being excep- 

 tionally luxuriant looks laxer and broader than usual. — W. M. E. 



R. incurvatus, Bab. Hedges, Pinchley, June, 1890. — A. D. 

 Hall. Is R. rusticanus, Merc, or not improbably R. elongatus, 

 Merc, which may be reckoned as a variety of it. — W. M. E. 



R. thyrsoideus, Wimm. Jordans, Bucks., July, 1891. — A. B. 

 Hall. Certainly not thyrsuideus. Possibly R. gymnostachys, 

 Genev. = R. macrothyrsus, Lange., but specimen too young.

R. pyramidalis, 'Kali.? High Beech, Essex, August, 1891. — 

 J. T. Powell. Yes, good R. pyramidalis, Kalt. — W. M. E. 



R. pyramidalis, Kalt. Biddulph, Staffs., August 1889. — 

 W. H. Painter. This is surely the same plant as Mr. Painter 

 sent to the Club last year from Norton-in-the-Moors, labelled 

 R. danicus, Focke. H. pyramidalis, Kalt., seems to me a better 

 name for it, though it has an abnormally hairy stem for that, 

 and it is hard to find a gland on the panicle-rachis. — W. M. R. 



R. pyramidalis, Kalt. Horton, Staffs. — W. H. Painter. The 

 same, I believe, as the Biddulph pyramidalis. — W. M. E. 



R. melanoxylon, Miill. Horton, Staffs., August, 1891. — W. H. 

 Painter. This is no doubt the same as Mr. Painter's Lask Edge 

 plant sent to B. E. C. last year, labelled R. melanoxylon, Miill., 

 Fide Dr. Focke, and with Prof. Babington's opinion added, I 

 agree that is the name of the Lask Edge plant. It seems to me 

 very near R. pyramidalis, Kalt., and a good deal unlike the 

 Shirley plant which Dr. Focke named R. melanoxylon for Mr. 

 Purchas.— W. M. E.
