1 In the descriptions by stem is meant the barren stem of the year ; the pricldes 
are called patent when they spread at right angles to the st. and suhpatent when a 
little declining ; the shape of the leaflets, unless otherwise stated, is taken from 
those of the barren stem. The term seta is used to express a kair or bristle 
tipped with a gland; aciculi are strong Iristlcs. — By R. G. the plates in Weihe 
and Nees's Rubi Germanici are intended. — See Babington's Bridsh Ruhi. 
When the Continental plants are better known it is feared that considerable 
changes of nomenclature will be necessary. 
- " From the Author's notes it was his evident intention to entirely rewrite the 
account of this genus, but this intention was not fulfilled. Since the last edition 
appeared a very large amount of work has been done and a full account of the 
genus has been published by the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers in his valuable ' Handbook 
of British Rubi.' With his kind permission we have added as an appendix the 
'Conspectus of Species' from that work, giving here the account as in ed. viii. 
with the exception of a few alterations actually made by the Author. — H. & J. G."
