the plant was shown to me last autumn, and the name is probably 

 correct, if (as I suppose) the fruiting sepals become erect or 

 semi-erect. Continental specimens have larger leaves and a less 

 contracted panicle. — W. M. R. 



R. Radula, Weihe ; and var. an^licanus, Rogers, Newnham 

 Hill, Daventry, Northants, July, 1895. Both named by iMr. 

 Rogers. — J. T. Powell. 



R. oigoclados, Muell & Lefv., var. Newhouldii (Bab.). Crooked 

 Wood, Co. Westmeath, Aug. 6ih, 1895; "A less glandular form 

 than usual"; teste W. M. R. — H. C. Levinge. 



R. . Aghaderg Glebe, Loughbrickland, Co. Down, July 



29th, 1895.— H. W. Lett. Identical with the Salop (Vales Wood 

 and Grinshill) plant which we are calling oigoclados^ Muell and 

 Lefv. var. Newbouldii, (Bab.).— W. M. R. 



R. Griffiihiu7iiis, Rogers. Penhower Road, near Bangor, July, 

 1895.— J. E. Griffith. 



R. pal/idus, W. and N. Benthall Edge, Salop, Aug., 1895. — 

 W. H. Painter. Yes, R. pallidus, W. and N., but a weak shade 

 form with untypical narrow panicles. — W. M. R. 



R. . Near High Beech Chuich, Epplng Forest, S. Essex, 



Aug. 19th, 1895. — These approach specimens named saxicolus 

 by Prof. Babington in i8oo; see W. E. C. Report, 1889-90. — 

 J. T. Powtll. R. foliosus, W. and N. var. with exceptionally 

 thick leaves and few strong stem prickles ; or possibly a hybrid, 

 R./oh'osiisX?—\^. M. R. 



R. . Leppitt's Hill, Epping Forest, S. Essex, Aug. 19th, 



1895. Identical with specimens named saxicolus by Prof. 

 Babington in 1890. See W. E. C. Report, 1819-90. — J. T. 

 Powell. Jusl R. viridis, Kalt., as Dr. Focke has in recent years 

 taught us to distinguish it. In both inridis and saxicolus, when 

 the fruit is ripe the sepals become patent or erect. It is evident 

 from Dr. Fockc's published descriptions that these two species 

 are very similar; but the specimens (from several localities) 

 which he has placed under R. saxicolus for me may be dis- 

 tinguished from R. viridis by stem yellowish-brown, polished
