REPORT FOR 1890.

seems that the forms of R. Babingtonii and R. anglosaxonicus 
run together.” — Dr. W. O. Focke. 
Rubus . (1) Rigg’s wood, Sellack, Herefordshire, 28th July, 
1890 ; and (2) Wood hedge, Harewood, 15th August, 1890. — These 
are, I believe, identical with the plant sent up from the former station 
to the Club last year under the name of “ rhenanus, Miill.” I am 
glad to see that Professor Babington doubts whether the name can be 
applied to our Herefordshire plant (see Report 1889, p. 254). It is 
surely not the same as the Plymouth plant called “ Bloxamii , Lees,” 
by Mr. Briggs. The plant now sent is widely distributed in 
Herefordshire, and looks distinct enough from any other Hereford- 
shire bramble which I know. — Augustin Ley. (i) The Rev. W. 
Moyle Rogers has proved to me that this plant from Rigg’s Wood is 
the same as that sent by Mr. Ley from the same wood, under the 
name R. sertiflorus , P. J. Miill, in 1888 (see Report, p. 210), when it 
was accepted as R. sertiflorus by Prof. Babington, and thus remarked 
on by Dr. Focke, “The name may be correct, but this plant seems 
to be the same as R. Lohri , Wirtg.” Mr. Rogers thinks that R. 
Lohri is probably the right name for this plant. (2) The Harewood 
plant appears to be slightly nearer to R. Radula , Weihe, with which 
R. Lohri , Wirtg., is closely connected. A remark of Professor 
Babington is so appropriate here, that, though written in a note 
regarding another bramble, I venture to quote it in this connection. 
He says, “ I am more than ever convinced that R. sertiflorus and R. 
Lohri are not distinguishable from each other, or from R. Radula .” 
Mr. Rogers entirely concurs both in the truth and in the applicability 
of this observation. — E. F. Linton. 
R. Radula , W. and N.; Baker, var. On a hedge bank in a shady 
lane between Cefnllys and Neuadd, near Llandrindod, Radnorshire, 
6th October, 1890. A slender plant with spreading . sepals, and with 
narrow leaflets on the flowering branches. R. Radula is not recorded 
for Co. 43 in ‘Top. Bot.,’ p. 144. — Charles Bailey. “ R. Radula , , 
Weihe j prickles unequal.” — Dr. W. O. Focke. “ An extreme form 
of R. anglosaxo?iicus , Gelert, I believe.” — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. Koehleri, W. and N.j Baker. On the road between Cefnllys 
and Cwm brith Hill, near Llandrindod, Radnorshire, 6th October, 
1890; hillside above the old church, Llandrindod, Radnorshire, 2nd 
October, 1890; hedgebank on the roadside between Delamere and 
Mouldsworth, Cheshire, 20th September, 1890 ; rocks at foot of 
White Nancy, Bollington, near Macclesfield, Cheshire, 6th September, 
1890; hedges between Knutsford and Tabley, 23rd August, 1890. 
Not recorded for Co. 43 in ‘Top. Bot.,’ p. 144. — Charles Bailey. 
“ R. saxicolus , I believe.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. melano dermis , Focke. Branksome, wood borders, 5th July 
and 20th Sept., 1889; Studland Heath, 28th June, 1887, and June, 
1890 (F. A. Rogers) ; Dorset. Hinton Admiral, S. Hants, wood 
border, 10th Aug., 1889. The plant thus named (as probably a new 
species) by Dr. Focke in Jour. Bot., 1890, p. 133, and one of the 
most widely spread and most constant brambles in E. Dorset and 
S. W. Hants. — W. Moyle Rogers.
