the leaves) belonging to R. Selmeri (Lindeb), while the bulk of 

 the specimens are undoubtedly my hihemicus'' — W. M. R. (The 

 R. Selmeri was returned to Rev. C. H. VVaddell. E. S. and 

 C. E. S.) 



R , Shrubbery, partly under tall trees, Aghaderg Glebe, 



Co. Down (No. i, 1896), 30th June, 1896.— H. W. Lett. " R. 

 Drejsri, G. Jensen, var. hibernicus Rogers." — W. M. R. 



R , Aghaderg Glebe, Co. Down, in fence under trees 



(No. 15, 1895), 7th July, 1896. — H. W. Lett. "Apparently 

 also my var. hibernicus of R. Drejeri ; a stout form with broader 

 less glandular i>anicle. Distinct from this, and yet in some 

 respects strongly recalling it, seem Mr. Lett's (No. 16, 189b), 

 and (No. 20, 1896), both collected on the i6th of July, and at 

 the same place. Of these (No. 16) seems furthest away from 

 R. hibrrnicus, and is so different in stem and leaves, that it 

 would hardly occur to anyone (with dried specimens only before 

 him), to connect them, were it not that (Nos. 15) and (20) look 

 like connecting links between (No. 16) and (No. i). Very 

 careful study of the living bushes in the district seems necessary 

 here. In Great Britain I can recall no plant that I could closely 

 associate with any in this series." — W. M. R. 



R , Aghaderg Glebe, Co. Down (No. 17, 1896), i6th July, 



1896. — H. W. Lett. A form of R. Drejeri, G. Jensen, inter- 

 mediate between the typical plant and my var. LeyatiuSj such as 

 I have seen in S. Devon and Wales (see Journ. Bot. 1897, 48.")

R. ? radula^ Aghaderg Glebe, Co. Down (No. 13, 1896), 

 7th July, 1896; and (2) *'7?. gratus,^^ Drumnahar, Aghaderg, 

 Co. Down (No. 11, 1896), 30th June, 1896.— H. W. Lett. 



Two slightly varying forms of my var. echinatoides of R. radula, 

 Weihe, in stem armature differing less from typical radula than 

 is usual in this variety. Mr. Lett speaks of the sepals as • 

 "patent in fruit," but I think he will find that though they rise 

 somewhat after the fall of the petals, they quickly become 

 refiexed, and remain so when the fruit is ripe." — W. M. R.
