" I cannot match these specimens. On the whole they 

 seem nearest to R. anglosaxonicus^ Gelert, while differing 

 from that species in several particulars, and especially in 

 the longer pointed and less coarsely toothed leaflets and 

 the much broader panicle but little narrowed above and 

 with darkly coloured unfelted rachis. At first sight 

 perhaps it rather suggests my var. anglicanus of R. 

 radula, Weihe ; but it is quite without the true Radulan 

 stem-clothing."— W. M. R.

R. . Reigate Heath, Surrey, July 17, 1898. 



No. 3. — C. E. Salmon. " One of two or three closely 

 allied forms that we are placing under R. hystrix, Wh. 

 and N. connecting it with typical R. rosaceus^ Wh. and 

 N. As Dr. Focke admits, A hard and fast limitation of 

 the forms of R. hystrix appears to be impossible." Our 

 English plants seem nearer to the form found by him 

 near Bremen than to the typical R. hystrix of Rub. 

 Germ., originally found by Weihe at MennighiifFen in 

 the Minden district. See Journ. Bot. 1892, 338."—

R. . Open field, Saintfield Vicarage, co. Down, 



August 12, 1898. No. 66.— C. H. Waddell. "These 

 pieces can hardly be separated from the aggregate R, 

 Koehleri^ Wh. and N., on the whole coming nearest to 

 var. pallidus, Bab. (non Wh. and N.). But they show 

 an extraordinary range of variation in armature, especially 

 in the stem, parts of which might be said to be quite 

 unKoehlerian. A thorough examination of these forms in 

 the living bushes may yet bring to light a new type," —
