Witley, Surrey. Discovered in 1889 by Rev. E. F. Linton, and 
named for him by Dr. Focke. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
Rubus hirtus , W. and N. Near Sarnframt, Anglesey, August, 
1890 . — Jno. E. Griffith. “I think it is what I called pallidus of 
R. Koehleri. I do not know its right name; not pallidus” — C. C. 
Babington. “Pallidus” Bab. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. hirtus , W. and N. Pengethly, Sellack, Herefordshire, 15th 
August, 1890 . — Augustin Ley. See next note. 
R. Reuteri , Merc. Sellack, Herefordshire, 28th July, 1890. — 
Augustin Ley. This was named R. rubicundus , Wirtg., on p. 213 
of Rpt. for 1888 ; and it appears again on p. 258 under this latter 
name, with an interesting note by Professor Babington, who preferred 
the name R. obscurus , Kalt. The two determinations following may be 
said to fix this name definitely for the Sellack “ Reuteri ,” and also 
for the u R. hirtus , W. and N., Pengethly, Sellack;” these two are 
separated by very slight differences, and cannot fairly be kept apart. 
Both seem inclined to be sterile, the one labelled R. Reuteri more 
particularly. — E. F. Linton. “ I hold that this and the one pre- 
ceding are R. obscurus (Kaltenb.), and ought to bear that name, and 
Reuteri to be dropped.” — C. C. Babington. U R. obscurus , Kaltnb. — 
R. rubicundus is very near it, but it has a more prickly panicle.” — 
Dr. W. O. Focke. 
R. Balfourianus , Blox., variety? Old quarry, Littlehope, Here- 
fordshire, 19th August, 1890. I sent this plant to Professor Babington 
as long ago as 1873, and received this name from him, with an 
expression, however, of doubt. I think it must be rightly so called ; 
but it is a marked variety, and is abundant in the district of Hereford- 
shire from which I send it. It occurs over a space of several square 
miles. — A ugustin Ley. A good variety. Professor Babington has 
passed it without remark. — E. F. L. “ Near R. Balfourianus .” — 
Dr. W. O. Focke. 
R. corylifolius, Smith ; Baker. Hedge bank above the old church, 
Llandrindod, Radnorshire, 2nd October, 1890. Not recorded for 
Co. 43 in ‘ Top. Bot.,’ p. 147 . — Charles Bailey. “R. corylifolius ^ c. 
purpureus—fasciculatus, Mull., I believe.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. . Roadside bank, limestone, Cheddar, N. Somerset, 2nd 
July, 1890. E. F. Linton. “Seems to agree exactly with specimen 
named R. degener (Mull.) by Genevier for Baker many years since, 
and placed in the Herb. Genev. as correct. That was gathered at 
Upsall, near Thirsk.” — C. C. Babington.
