Lotus tenuis , Kit. Ellington, Northumberland, August, 1887. — 
H. E. Fox. 
Z. angustissimus , L. Furzy, stony ground, about nine miles from 
the sea (Little Haldon Hill between), Trusham, S. Devon, 8th July, 
1878. — W. Moyle Rogers. St. Brelades, Jersey, June, 1887. — G. C.

Lizard Head, Cornwall, 1873. Bank of River Otter (at about a mile 
from the sea), S. Devon, in plenty, August, 1887, a supply of 
specimens showing different colouring of the standard in the two 
species, viz., fading to a dull green in hispidiLs , while remaining 
yellow or orange in angustissimus ; whereas in Bab. ‘Man.’ the exact 
opposite of this is stated. — W. Moyle Rogers. Dr. Boswell did not 
place much reliance on this characteristic, for he says sometimes 
angustissimus turns green also. — Ed. 
Oxytropis uralensis , DC. Grassy slopes, Betty Hill, Melvich, 
and Armadale, North Sutherland, on sea cliffs, 24th July, 1888. —

Druce. 
Rubus Idceus , L., b. Leesii , Bab. Bog at the Woodloes, Warwick, 
July, 1888. — H. Bromwich. First described, according to Dr. Focke, 
(‘ Journ. Bot.’ 1877, P- 369,) by Willdenow (‘ Berl. Baumz.,’ ed. ii. p. 
409,) under the name of R. obtusifolius , and in 1839, by Arrhenius, 
under the name of R. Idceus anomalus , from Sweden. — Ed. 
R. fissus , Lindl. Rudyard Reservoir, Staff. 25 th September, 
1888. — W. H. Painter. “May be fissus , but very poor, and rather 
doubtful.” — C. C. Babington. 11 R. fissus, Lindl.” — Dr. Focke. New 
County record. 
R. plicatus , W. & N. Near Rudyard Reservoir, Stafford, 12th 
September, 1888. — W. H. Painter, “fide W. H. Purchas.” “Not 
the common form, perhaps a variety.” — Dr. Focke. “ I think this is 
lentiginosus, which must be removed from the Suberecti (Mr. Painter’s 
specimens are none of them satisfactory.”) — C. C. Babington. New 
County record. 
R. nitidus , W. & N. By an old quarry (elvan) on Coleridge 
estate, Egg Buckland, S. Devon, 10th July, 1888. — T. R. Archer 
Briggs. “Yes.” — Dr. Focke. New County record. 
R. Lindleianus , Lees, var. Much smaller in all respects than 
usual. (?) var. nitidus , Bell Salt, not W. & N., or is it only a form of 
rhamnifolius ? Keston Common, Kent, July, 1 888 . — Eyre de 
Crespigny. New County record. “Good Lindleianus . ” — W. 
Moyle Rogers, who adds, “ It seems clear, from £ British Rubi,’ 
p. 79, that Bell Salter’s nitidus is identical with ' Lindleianus. 
On the other hand Bloxam’s nitidus , sent by Mr. Bagnall, from 
Marston Green, Warwick, has a look of calvatus, especially in the 
panicle.” The Editor would explain that Dr. Crespigny has not 
always put the same names on the label as on the accompanying note, 
so that members may be puzzled. The Editor has, as much as 
possible, embodied all the suggested names at the expense of space.
