BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB. 
July 9; 1877. — T. E. A. Briggs. Of course this plant from 
Marsh Mill is not typical. A specimen of the same from Crabtree 
collected in July, 18C5, is marked in my herb, as authentic 
R. rhcnanus, Miill., on the authority of Genevier. I cannot find 
any description of R. rhcnanus, and have no foreign specimen of it. 
It differs in several respects from true R Bloxamii, of which 
I have a good series before me from Lees and Bloxam, by its much 
more hairy stem, — indeed, hairiness throughout, — but especially 
by its beautiful pyramidal, open, nearly naked panicle, with long 
corymbose feAv-ffowered branches Avhich are quite simple in 
then- lower part. It should not go out as R. Bloxamii. without 
note or comment, as it would convey a Avrong idea of that plant. — 
C. C. Babington. 
“ /i. scaber, Weihe?” Neighbourhood of St. Budeaux, S. 
Devon, 1877. — T. E. A. Briggs. I think that this may be correct. 
Its very slightly-armed stem is remarkable, and in that respect I 
have nothing like it. — C. C. Babington. 
R. Kochleri, Weihe, var. curatifolius, Weihe, fide Babington.” 
Field-border, Sellack, Monmouthshire, July 13, 1877. — Augustin 
Ley. 
“ R. fusco-ater, Weihe.” Broomsgrove Lickey, Worcester, 
October, 1877. — J. Fraser. This plant is R. Koehleri y. pallidus. 
— C. C. Babington. 
“ R. fusco-ater, Weihe.” Heslington, near York, September, 
1877. — Geo. Webster. R. Koehleri, a. — 0. C. Babington. 
“ R. txiherculatus, Bab.” Kew, Surrey, July, 1877. — J. G. 
Baker. Not my plant, nor much like it. It is very like R. Bal- 
fourianus, esq>ecially resembling a plant so named b}^ me in the 
Herb. Borrer from Fridge Wood, near Tonbridge Wells ; indeed 
almost the only difference is found in the more furroAved stem of 
the KeAV plant now issued. The lower part of the stem of typical 
R. Balfouriamis is not furroAved, although its upper jiart often is so. 
I have never seen it AAdth so furroAved a stem as in this from Kew. 
— C. C. Babington. 
Rosa fcctida, Bast. Hedge, Thames Ditton, Surrey, September, 
1877. — H. Groa'es. A form of tomentosa allied to scabriuscula and 
sijlvestris. — T. E. A. Briggs. 
R. micrantha, Sm. Hedge on roadside near E. Muirdean, 
Eoxburgh, October, 1877. Bank on roadside betAveen Kelso and 
Newthorn, Berwickshire, August and October, 1877. Eoadside 
between Kelso and Yetholm, Eoxburgh, November 2, 1877 and 
1878. I send specimens of this from three stations; those from 
the tAVO last named have hairy styles. — Andreav Brotherston. 
R. scnticosa, Ach. Near KnoAvle, Warwickshire, July 28, 1877. 
It occurs in some abundfinco, but I have only been able to send 
a very limited suxiply OAving to the paucity of ffoAvers this year. — 
J. E. Bagnall. 
R. decipiens. Bum. Near Sutton, Warwickshire, 1877. This 
was first found in the county by the Eev. A. Bloxam near Harboro’ 
klagna. The specimens are from a neAV station, Avhere I found 
several bushes. It is not AA'hat I should consider the typical form,
