R.  Andrzeiovii  Desegl.  (non  Steven),  var.  pseudo- 
mollis  Ley;  Presthope,  Salop,  v.c.  40,  July  14  and  Sept.  2, 
1909.  I  sent  this  to  Major  Wolley-Dod  as  submollis, 
which  it  certainly  is  not.  He  suggests  pseudo -mollis  with 
some  hesitation  ;  and  that  I  feel  sure  it  is. — A.  Ley.  R. 
tomentosa  Sm.,  var.,  with  a  little  inclination  to  the  omissa 
group. — H.  Dingier.  This  seems  to  agree  pretty  well  with 
R.  tomentosa  Sm.,  var.  pseudo -mollis  Baker. — W.B. 
R.  uncinata  Ley.  Presthope,  Salop,  v.c.  40,  July  14, 
1909. — A.  Ley.  According  to  Mr.  Ley’s  description  of  his 
R.  uncinata ,  the  prickles  should  be  uncinate  and  the 
sepals  nearly  simple.  In  my  specimen  none  of  the  prickles 
are  uncinate  and  the  sepals  are  not  nearly  simple. — W.B. 
Correct,  I  think,  with  more  hispid  fruit  than  usual. — 
A.H.W.-D. 
R.  scabriuscula  Sm.,  var.  sylvestris  (Lindl.).  Marsh- 
brook,  Salop,  v.c.  40,  July  19  and  Sept.  8,  1909.  Major 
Wolley-Dod  remarks  “  R.  scabriuscula  Sm.,  I  should  say, 
but  leaflets  too  hairy,  and  not  universally  glandular  enough 
for  sylvestris .”  The  leaf  glands  vary  in  quantity,  but  are 
often  numerous.  In  my  judgment,  quite  over  the  borders 
of  scabriuscula  into  sylvestris,  to  which  it  answers  also  in 
the  shape  and  size  of  the  leaflets. — A.  Ley.  I  believe 
correct. — W.B. 
R.  cuspidatoides  Crepin.  Brampton  Abbots,  Here- 
fordsh.,  v.c.  36,  Aug.  13,  1909.  I  owe  the  suggestion  of 
this  name  to  Major  Wolley-Dod,  and  I  believe  it  to  be 
correct. — A.  Ley.  I  have  not  seen  authentic  specimens  of 
Crepin’ s  plant,  but  this  does  not  differ  materially  from  the 
last  ( R .  scabriuscula,  var.  sylvestris).  The  sub-foliar 
glands  are  few,  but  in  R.  cuspidatoides  Crep.  they  ought 
to  be  numerous.  In  this  plant  the  sepals  are  certainly 
not  “  nearly  simple,”  as  Mr.  Ley  in  his  monograph  states 
they  ought  to  be  in  R.  cuspidatoides  Crep. — W.B. 
R.  obovata  Ley  (R.  tomentosa,  var.  obovata  Baker)  ? 
(Ref.  No.  3364).  Garve,  E.  Ross,  v.c.  106,  July  28,  1909. 
Leaflets  mostly  obovate,  cuneate-based,  hairy,  very 
glandular  beneath,  and  slightly  so  above.  Flowers  deep 
rose-pink ;  fruit  naked.  Rev.  A.  Ley  considered  this  to 
be  an  extreme  form  of  R.  Bakeri  Desegl.  Major  Wolley- 
Dod  wrote  : — “  I  think  that  this  is  perhaps  R.  tomentosa,
