here from the tj^pical plant are the deep red (claret) colour of 
stem, leaflets strigose above with finely incised toothing, and the 
whole plant is very small. In essentials, however, I feel there is 
no room for doubt. N.C. R. for v.c. 5. — H. J. Kiddelsdell. 
R. argenteus Wh. and N. Durdham Down, Bristol, W. Glos.,

ascending lower panicle-branches are well shown. — J. W. White.

Somerset, July and August, 1920. This is a bramble of many 
vicissitudes. There is little doubt that it was the scaber in 
“British Rubi ” from the same locality, and to that species it 
bears some resemblance. Later, it stood as Bloxamii, and was 
subsequently put to Babingtonii by both Babington and Focke. 
But on being seen in situ by Dr. Focke when on a visit to this 
country he determined it to be R. fuscus Wh. and N. See 
“ Notes on Somerset Rubi ” in “ Journ. Bot.,” 1886; Rep B.E.C., 
1886; and “Notes on British Rubi,” by Focke, in “Journ Bot.,” 
1890. The plant is so stable and abundant that one would like 
it to rest in peace! — Jas. W. White. Yes; fairly typical and 
normal, but considerably different from specimens (falling under 
fuscus) also from Leigh Woods, which I have received from Mr. 
Rogers’ herbarium The species clearly exhibits great variety 
in this locality: See W T hite, “ Flora of Bristol,” pp. 282 and 283. —

Sedum album L. (1) Limestone rocks, Cannington Park, 
Somerset, v.c. 5, July, 1920; (2) Oolitic wall below Dundry, N. 
Somerset, v.c. 6, Aug. 7, 1920. — H. S. Thompson. Murray and 
White were doubtless right in calling this native in a few places 
in Somerset. Why is the plant omitted from “ Top. Bot.” and 
Suppl 1 It is strange neither Murray nor Marshall record it 
from Cannington, where it has every appearance of nativity, and 
where it has been known for mai^ years. This plant is quite 
common in parts of Somerset, though usually as a denizen. —
