C.  H.  Waddell.  Yes. — W.B.  Bather  R.  complicata  (Gren.). 
—A.L.  Near  subcristata]  but  the  fruit  is  globose,  and  the 
nerves  of  the  leaflets  beneath  are  rather  prominent.  I 
believe  that  it  is  either  var.  complicata  (Gren.)  or  var. 
venosa  (Desegl.). — E.S.M.  This  is  what  British  botanists 
would  so  label,  though  it  comes  nearer  R.  complicata 
(Gren.) ;  but  the  two  are  practically  synonymous  and  Mr. 
Baker’s  name  has  priority.— A.H.W.-D.  R.  glauca  Vill., 
group  of  var.  complicata  (Gren.).  Identification  with 
subcristata  (Baker)  is  impossible  without  comparison  with 
original  specimens.— H.  Dingier. 
R.  coriifolia  Fr.,  forma.  Dulnain  Bridge,  Elginsh., 
v.c.  95,  Sept.,  1909.  Coll.  Miss  E.  Armitage.  Falling, 
I  believe,  under  type  coriifolia,  in  spite  of  elongate  fruit 
and  reflexed  sepals,  both  of  which  points  are  quite 
untypical. — A.  Ley.  Very  near  R.  subcollina  Christ,  I 
suspect.  Styles  and  prickles  characteristic  of  the  corii¬ 
folia  group;  leaves  not  very  thick,  glabrous  or  thinly 
hairy  above  ;  sepals  reflexed  or  patent  on  the  almost  fully- 
developed  fruit.— E.S.M.  This,  in  spite  of  its  woolly 
styles,  probably  belongs  to  that  group  of  intermediates 
between  R.  coriifolia  and  R.  dumetorum ,  to  one  form  of 
which  Christ  gave  the  name  of  R.  coriifolia,  var.  sub¬ 
collina,  which  name  was  extended  by  himself,  Crepin  and 
others  to  embrace  the  whole  group. — W.B.  This  comes 
under  an  aggregate  R.  coriifolia,  and  its  reflexed  sepals 
indicate  var.  subcollina  Christ  as  its  proper  place,  though 
its  peduncles  are  long  for  that  variety. — A.H.W.-D.  R. 
coriifolia  Fr.,  group  subcollina  Chr.— H.  Dingier. 
R.  coriifolia  Fr.,  var.  Bakeri  (Desegl.).  (Ref.  No. 
3369).  Garve,  E.  Ross,  v.c.  106,  July  23,  1909.  Leaves 
hairy,  glandular  beneath.  Styles  woolly.  Prickles 
uncinate.  A  low,  compact  bush.  The  Rev.  A.  Ley  con¬ 
firmed  this  confidently  as  R.  Bakeri  (Desegl.),  and  Major 
Wolley-Dod  thought  it  perhaps  nearest  that,  though 
approaching  var.  Watsoni  in  the  fruit,  which  looks  as  if 
it  would  be  subglobose  when  fully  developed ;  though  the 
leaves  are  usually  less  glandular  beneath  in  that  variety. 
M.  Sudre  wrote: — “A  form  of  R.  coriifolia,  near  var. 
pseudo -cinerea  Rouy.” — E.  S.  Marshall.  I  believe  correct.
