sissima  {pimpinellifolia) ;  thus  coming  under  R.  hibernica 
Templeton,  but  nearer  to  spinosissima  than  the  original 
Irish  plant ;  especially  in  its  very  mixed  armature.  The 
hooked  prickles  and  woolly  styles,  together  with  the 
pubescent  foliage,  seem  to  be  decisive  in  favour  of  a 
coriifolia  parentage. — E.S.M.  Though  acicles  are  almost 
absent  from  my  specimen  I  think  the  general  character¬ 
istics  of  the  plant  quite  justify  Mr.  Barclay’s  naming, 
though  I  should  have  felt  disposed  to  name  it  R.  pim- 
pinellifolia  x  dumetorum,  i.e.,  R.  hibernica  Temp. — 
A.H.W.-D.  R.  pimpinellifolia  x  dumetorum  probably. —

R.  hibernica  Templeton,  var.  glabra  Baker.  In 
shade,  Tillysburn,  Co.  Down,  July  23,  1909. — C.  H. 
Waddell.  Surely  not  the  variety,  since  petiole  and  midrib 
are  hairy,  but  the  type. — A.L.  This  is  not  var.  glabra. 
The  hairs  on  the  petioles  and  veins  of  the  leaves  seem  to 
be,  in  part  at  least,  deciduous.  This,  according  to  my 
specimens  sent  by  Mr.  Waddell  from  the  original  station, 
is  also  the  case  with  Templeton’s  plant.  It  is  also  the 
case  in  the  form  I  have  sent  to  the  Club  this  year  and 
which  I  have  named  pimpinellifolia  x  glauca.  The 
present  specimen  does  not  seem  to  be  different  from  the 
original  plant  of  Templeton,  so  far  at  least  as  the  barren 
stems  go.— W.B.  The  midrib  and  some  of  the  principal 
veins  beneath  are  thinly  pubescent,  with  long,  mostly 
appressed  hairs.  Apparently  a  hybrid  between  one  of  the 
more  glabrous  dumetorum  group  (perhaps  urbica)  and 
spinosissima. — E.S.M.  Not  var.  glabra,  since  the  midribs 
are  hairy  and  the  shape  of  the  leaflets  will  not  do.  It  is 
a  weak  form  of  typical  R.  hibernica  Temp,  (i.e.,  R.  spino¬ 
sissima  x  dumetorum).  The  thinness  of  the  hairs  on  the 
under  surface  of  the  leaflets  is  no  doubt  due  to  shade.— 
A.H.W.-D.  R.  pimpinellifolia  x  canina  probably. — H. 
Dingier. 
R.  pomifera  Herrm.  Mountain  rocks,  Taren-yr-Esgob, 
Black  Mountain,  Breconsh.,  v.c.  42,  July  20,  1909.  Maj. 
Wolley-Dod  remarks  of  this,  “  Rather  R.  Grenierii,  or 
even  mollis,  to  judge  from  the  pinnate  sepals,  small  fruit, 
and  eglandular,  not  parallel-sided  leaflets.”  I  agree,  not 
typical  pomifera'.  R.  Grenierii  Desegl.  is,  I  believe,  placed 
under  R.  pomifera  Herrm.  by  most  continental  authors.
