sp. collect ; but beyond that I cannot get. Mr. Lett 

 suggests ' This panicle has a look of R. Lindehergii.' 

 Even in panicle however the resemblance can hardly 

 • be called close, while the stem and leaves of this 

 plant are obviously very different from those of 

 R. Lindebergii. I showed Mr. Gelert this and suggested 

 that it seemed very near to the true R. cordifolius W. 

 and N., and on our comparing it with the figure of that 

 species in Rubi Germanici we were agreed that the 

 resemblance is close. Dr. Focke's opinion on this 

 plant is very desirable." — W. M. R. 



(2) R. . Whinny Hill, Aghaderg Glebe (no Ref. No. 



given), 30th June, 1896. "Very like R^ Bomanus 

 Genev, and perhaps not distinct from it, though it differs 

 from the typical plant (which seems very constant) in 

 its sulcate stem and its less rigid panicle with ' pure 

 white' petals and stamens longer than styles, Its flowers 

 also seem larger and its leaves less often felted beneath, 

 while its terminal leaflet is more frequently cordate. 

 R. BorcBanus would, I believe, be a new record for 

 Ireland."— W. M. R- " I have seen French Borceanus 

 like this "— O. Gelert. 



(3) R. . Mill Hill Lane, Ballintaggart ('*A"), 29th June, 



1896. " Rather like R. vielatioxjlon^ Muell and Wirtg. 

 See Journ. Bot., 1897, 47."— W.M.R. 



(4.) Aghaderg Glebe (No. 19, 1896), i6th July, 1896. "A 

 very curious plant, with Koehlerian panicle and stem 

 nearly {} or quite) eglandular, though covered with very 

 unequal scattered prickles and acicles. But for this 

 very mixed armature very like (No. 16) (same locality 

 and same date). It also somewhat resembles a Kent 

 plant which Dr. Focke in December, 1893, named ' R. 

 insolatus autor, non P. J. Muell, non Genev," and added 

 ' I think the forms of R. insolatus will prove to be a status 

 horridus of various glandular Rubi." — W.M.R.
