form of R. velatus (Lej.). It should be noted that Dr. Focke does 
not call them R. Hystrix , Weihe. It is likely that both would repay 
further study. — E. F. L. 
Rubus infestus , W. and N. Near Leyburn, Wensleydale, N. W. 
Yorks, 29th Aug., 1890. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. sertiflorus , P. J. Mull. Wentwood, Monmouthshire, 25th 
Sept, 1890 . — Augustin Ley. “ R. fuscus, Wh. and N.” Dr. W. 
O. Focke. “ Agrees well with the R. fuscus of Milton, S. Hants, 
determined by Dr. Focke.” — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. . Edlaston, 27th Sept., 1890; and Yeaveley, S. Derby- 
shire, 2nd Oct., 1890. A frequent and distinct species in this district, 
and conspicuous along roadsides with its pink flowers. It has red 
styles and pink filaments ; sepals white inside and like those of 
R. corylifolius ; and its leaves are thin and strongly convex. 
Specimens submitted to Dr. Focke in 1888 were thought by him to 
be R. oreogeton, Focke. Prof. Babington considered it was closely 
allied to R. rosaceus , W. and N, I think it is not rosaceus , which is 
very close to R. Hystrix , whereas this plant is as different from 
typical Hystrix , which is common here, as R. Radula from 
R. Koehleri , or rusticanus from vestitus. — Wm. R. Linton. Two 
specimens of this went to Dr. Focke with the suggestion, R, 
anglosaxonicus , Gelert ? and Dr. Focke’s reply was : 11 R, a?iglosaxonicus , 
Gelert, var. foliis concoloribus .” The Rev. W. Moyle Rogers admits 
that it has the armature and something of the look of R, anglosaxonicus, 
but considers it off type in the direction of R. rosaceus , especially in 
the habit of the panicle, and the toothing and texture of the 
leaves. — E. F. Linton.

hairy than usual.” — W. Moyle Rogers. “R. rudis , Wh. and N. 
The shape of the leaves is anomalous.” — Dr. W. O. Focke.

On specimen submitted in 1889, Dr. Focke said : — “ Vestitus x spec. 
glandulosaP In 1890 again, “Of hybrid origin I suppose.” The 
plant occurs in only one spot in the district, viz., in a copse, where 
it forms a luxuriant mass, covering several square yards. Its single 
occurrence, its luxuriance, and its sterility to a large extent, favours 
the idea of hybridity. The species in the vicinity are Lindleianus , 
nemoralis, pubescens , calvatus , vestitus (non-setose) ; and pallidus , 
Bab., Hystrix , Radula (setose). But no pair of these seems to suit as 
originators. Petals pale pink, styles greenish. — W. R. Linton. 
“As a choice out of the above-named, R. pubescens x Koehleri 
( pallidus ) is my idea.” — E. F. Linton. “I do not see its relationship 
to R. pubescens or R. Koehleri. If a hybrid, as is very 7 possible, 
perhaps R. nemoralis (glabratus) x Radula. But I really do not 
know. What a magnificent plant ! ” — C. C. Babington.
