R. , Gillhall Demesne, Co. Down (No. 23, 1896), 20th 



July, 1896.— H. W. Lett. "I think R. regillus A. Ley, Journ. 

 Bot., 1896, 217. In Mr. Ley's plant the leaves are more 

 frequently 3-nate and the stalked glands on panicle-rachis are 

 less sunk in the long hair ; but I see no other differences in the 

 dried specimens. Further research, however, is of course very 

 desirable with a view to certain determination." — W. M. R. 



R. oigoclados Muell and Lefv. var. Newbouldii^ (Bab.), Aghaderg 

 Glebe, Co. Down (No. 3, 189b), 30th June, 1896. — H. W. Lett. 



I think rightly named ; but I have to own to great difficulties 

 in fixing the limits of R. Newhouldii. Another distinct packet of 

 Mr. Lett's, with identical labels ^ contains what certainly seems a 

 different though allied plant ; and this I am disposed to call 

 R. macrostachys (P. J. Muell), which 1 have not before seen from 

 Co. Down. I have added ' B ' to its labels and *A' to the li.

R. . Bricklan, Parish of Aghaderg, Co. Down (No. 10, 



1896), 30th June, 1896.— H.W. Lett. "I think not distinct 

 from the plant last referred to, i.e., A*, macrostachys.''' — W. M. R. 



R. . Whinny Hill, Aghaderg Glebe, Co. Down (No. 9, 



1896), 30th June, 1896,— H. W. Lett, ' R. KoehleriW. and N. 

 var. cognatus (N. E. Brown)." W. M. R. ■ 



R. . Reigate, Surrey (Ref. No. 10), 23rd July, 1896. — E. 



S. Salmon. " Mr. Salmon suggests * R. ? corylifolius, co?ijun- 

 gens,' and it undoubtedly shows considerable resemblance to that 

 plant; but I think it moie probably ..S. corylifolius X rusticanus. 

 It seems all but wholly barren." — W. M. R. 



R. . Gillhall Demesne, Co. Down (No. 24, 1896), 20th 



July, 1896.— H. W. Lett. "Almost certainly a hybrid, R.} 

 leucostachys X .?"--W. M. R. 



Other Rubi, collected in Co. Down by the Rev. H. W. Lett, 

 to which at present no definite name can be assigned, are the 

 following : — 



(1) i^. . Edenderry, Aghaderg (No. 12, 1896), 6th July, 



J 896. Unknown to me. The great lengiii of stalk in 

 the terminal leaflet suggests affinity with R. rhamnifolius
