Seaton,  S.  Devon,  v.c.  8,  July  1,  1914.— Edward  S. 
Marshall. 
Prunus  Cerasus  L.  West  Wood,  Hitchin,  Herts., 
v.c.  20,  May  14,  1914.  Before  finding  this  group  of  about 
20  bushes  in  company  with  Mr.  H.  S.  Thompson,  I  had 
searched  the  district  unsuccessfully  for  many  years.  Mr. 
Marlborough  R.  Pryor,  of  Weston  Park,  showed  me  one 
tree  near  Tile  Kiln  Farm,  Weston,  in  1912.  Otherwise  I 
knew  of  none.  But  about  a  fortnight  after  finding  the 
West  Wood  bushes,  I  found  another  colony  of  16  in  a 
spinney  near  Offley — J.  E.  Little. 
Rubus  nitidus  Wh.  &  N.,  subsp.  opacus  Focke.  Turf 
moor,  near  Glastonbury,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Aug.  6,  1914. 
— J.  W.  White.  Yes.— W.M.R. 
R.  affinis  Wh.  &  N.  Peat  moor,  near  Catcott-Burtle, 
near  Bridgwater,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Aug.  6,  1914. — 
J.  W.  White.  Yes.— W.M.R. 
R.  villicaulis  Koehl.,  var.  Selnieri  Lindeb.  (1)  Old 
Biddulph  Hall,  N.  Staffs.,  v.c.  89,  July  25,  1890.  (2) 
Heaths  near  Bournemouth,  Dorset,  v.c.  9,  Aug.  10,  1890. 
— J.  W.  White.  Not  R.  villicaulis  Koehl.  but  R.  Selmeri 
Lindeb.,  which  is  advanced  to  specific  rank  in  “  Lond. 
Cat.”  ed.  X.— W.M.R. 
R.  rusticanus  Merc.  (1 )  Stoke  Druid,  Bristol,  W . 
Glos.,  v.c.  84,  July  28  and  Aug.  29,  1914,— Ida  M.  Roper. 
Yes,  but  weak.  —  W.M.R.  (2)  Cupernham,  Romsey, 
S.  Hants.,  v.c.  11,  Aug.  and  Sept.,  1914. — R.  S  Standen. 
Under  R.  rusticanus  Merc.,  as  form  or  hybrid.  The 
rusticanus  character  is  quite  unmistakeable  ;  but  I  think 
it  possible  that  the  plant  may  also  have  Linclleianus  in 
it,  by  crossing. — W.M.R. 
R.  leucostacliys  x  rusticanus.  Bullen  Bank,  near 
Ledbury,  Herefordsli.,  v.c.  86,  July  27,  1914. — S.  H. 
Bickham.  Yes,  I  believe,  quite  certainly  one  of  the  many 
leucostacliys  X  rusticanus  hybrids.  At  first  sight  more 
readily  recalling  leucostacliys  than  rusticanus,  but  really 
more  nearly  intermediate  than  most.  But  the  series  (in 
chalky  districts  especially)  shows  a  remarkable  range  of 
variation — W.M.R.
