different in toothing and texture from the other Derbyshire Minder i” 
— W. Moyle Rogers. “ An interesting specimen being authenticated 
by Focke.” — C. C. Babington. New County record. 
Rubus near rhombifolius , Wh., Dr. Focke. Brailsford, S. Derby- 
shire, August, 1888, — W. R. Linton. “ I leave this to bear the name 
attached to it by Focke, but what is the colour of its flowers ? ” — C. C. 
Babington. New County record. 
R. leucandrus , Focke. “ Very near my leucandrus , which has, 
however, white flowers.” — Dr. Focke. Brailsford, S. Derbyshire, 
August, 1888. This and the last are very similar, and I should think 
likely to turn out to be the same thing, deriving such differences as 
they do from diversity of situation. — W. R. Linton. “ I presume, 
from the notice on the ticket, that this has pink flowers. Is it so ? 
Probably leucandrus .” — C. C. Babington. 
R. macrophyllus , W. and N., glabratus. Rigg’s Wood, Sellack, 
Herefordshire, 29th August, 1888 . — Augustin Ley. “Yes; which 
I now place with Munteri as nemoralis , Mull.” — C. C. Babington. “I 
can give no name to this form Dr. Focke. New County record. 
R. Sprengelii , Weihe, var. rubicolor , Blox., R. erubescens , Wirtg. 
Marshy thicket, Coughton, Herefordshire, July, 1888 . — Augustin 
Ley. “ Recalls the erubescens , but it is perhaps near R. hirtifolius , 
Muell. et Wirtg.” — Dr. Focke. Marshy woods, Bishopswood, Here- 
fordshire, 30th July, 1888 . — Augustin Ley. “ I think that what I 
have called erubescens is scarcely that plant. I now wish to call it 
rubicolor , Blox., and place it under SprengeliiP — C. C. Babington. 
R. rhenanus , Mull. ? Rigg’s Wood, Sellack, Herefordshire, 30th 
August, 1888. Manor Wood, Whitebrook, Monmouthshire, 28th 
September, 1888 . — Augustin Ley. These plants both of them 
resemble somewhat a plant sent through the Club from Highgate 
wood, Middlesex, in 1878, by Dr. Eyre de Crespigny, as R. Bloxamii , 
but which Professor Babington named very near, if not exactly, the 
rhenanus , Mull. See ‘Rep.,’ 1879, p. 9. I am not satisfied, however, 
that the plants I now send are really identical, either with this High- 
gate wood plant, or with each other ; and they seem to be certainly 
different from Mr. Arthur Brigg’s plant from the Plymouth district, to 
which the name of rhena?ius has been given with some certainty, and 
which Prof. Babington now identifies with the R. thyrsiger [var. 
thyrsiger , Bab.— Ed.] of L. C., ed. viii. See ‘Journ. Bot.’ December, 
1888, p. 379 . — Augustin Ley. u I consider the Monmouth plant 
to be weak rhenanus , and the Herefordshire plant to be also rhenanus , 
but I am not quite satisfied with either plant,” — C. C. Babington. 
Of the Monmouth plant, which alone he saw, Dr. Focke writes, “ R. 
Loehri , Wirtg.” “ This is the R. Bloxamii of the ‘Flora of Ply- 
mouth,’ and was described by Babington in his ‘Notes on Rubi,’ in 
‘ Journ. Bot.’ July, 1888, under the name of thyrsiger [see above note 
and ‘Journ. Bot.’ December, 1888, p. 379]. To the description given 
of this plant from road-side, Crabtree, Egg Buckland, South Devon, 
13th August, 1888, I can add, petals regularly disposed, ovate 
oblong, entire, distant, rather large, pink or pinkish white ; stamens 
pink, very long, and much exceeding the styles; anthers ultimately
