known species (see Handbk. Brit. Rubi, p. 90), and I am 

 no more able now than I was in 1895 to say how nearly 

 alHed to it this plant of Mr. Waddell's may be. —

R. -—. "B." Pitt's Wood, Harborne, 



Worcestershire, 25th June, 1901. — H. S. Thompson, 

 i?. dumetorum, W. and N., probably var. ferox, Whe. ; 

 too young for certainty.— W. M. R. 



R. . Rotton Park Reservoir, Birmingham, 



Warwickshire, 14th July, 1901. — ^H. S. Thompson. 

 R. dumetorum, W. and N., var. uncertain. Perhaps a 

 hybrid.— W. M. R. 



R. . Roadside near Eastnor, Worcestershire, 



29th June, 1901. — H. S. Thompson. Looks as if it 

 might be R. corylifolms x dumetorum, but specimens 

 collected too early in season for definite determination. — 

 W. M. R. 



R. Balfouriauus, Blox. Maxstoke, Warwickshire, 

 v.c. 38, Aug. 1886. — J. E. Bagnall. I suppose correctly 

 named though hardly identical with Bloxam's type as 

 contributed by Mr. Bagnall to the fascicles of British 

 Rubi in 1893, or as represented by a specimen of 

 Bloxam's own collecting now in my herbarium. — W.M.R. 



Rosa collina, Jacq. Ponsanooth, Cornwall, v.c. i, 

 i6th June, 1901. So named by Mr. J. G. Baker, but he 

 says, ''not exactly collina of Jacques." — F. H. Davey. 

 I hardly think Mr. Baker can have seen proper specimens 

 of this plant, which appears to have semi-double 

 flowers, and is, I believe, a cultivated form of R. alba, L. 

 It is, no doubt, an escape in Cornwall. The specimens 

 should have been completed by the addition of the fruits 

 and portions of the barren shoots showing the prickles. —

Cratcegus Oxyacantha, L. var. laciniata, Wallr. By 

 the Mole above Cobham, Surrey, 28th June, 1902. — 

 A. H. Wolley-Dod. Passed by Mr. A. Bennett. 



Saxifraga nivalis, L. Ben Lawers, 3,500 feet, Mid 

 Perth, August, 1902. — E. Cleminshaw. 



S. umbrosa, L. var. serratifolia, Don. Gap of Dunloe, 

 N.Kerry, 26th June, 1902; near Cloghane, S. Kerry,
