Rubus Reuteri, Merc. Sellack, Herefordshire, 4th August, 1 888. 
— Augustin Ley, Is “ R. rubicundus , Wirtg.” 
R. horridus , Schultz, not Htn. a corylifolian form ; petals usually 
white, but in the specimen sent of a deep rose colour ; stem somewhat 
angular, very prickly, neither glaucous nor pruinose. Hedge in a field 
adjoining Croham Hurst, Croydon, July, 1888 . — Eyre de Crespigny. 
“Not identical with German forms.” — Dr. Focke. “ Apparently Lecoqii, 
Gen. It is one of the many plants confounded by authors under 
ccesius. It is one of the Eu-ccesii of Genevier. A very interesting plant. 
I should like to see more of it, and better specimens.” — C. C. 
Babington. 
Rubus ccesius , L. var. intermedins , Bab. Harling to Lorling, 
Norfolk, W., 3rd October, 1888. Owing to a remarkably late season, 
I was not able to gather good specimens of this and other Rubi in 
October. The barren shoots were not all matured, but portions of old 
stems at base of the panicle show well the alternate armature. I have 
scarcely come across any varieties of ccesius in Norfolk.- — E. F. Linton. 
“What a very bad leaf! Apparently ccesius — inter medius .” — C. C. 
Babington. “ May be; but too imperfect.” — Dr. Focke. 
Poterium polygamum , Waldst. et Kit. var. stenolophum , Spach. 
Blewbury, Berks., July, 1888. — G. C. Druce. 
Rosa rubella , Sm. The Mynde Park, Herefordshire, 2nd July, 
1888 . — Augustin Ley. “C’est probablement le R. rubella , Sm. 
( = R. alpina x R. pimpinellifolia. ”) — F. Crepin. Only of garden 
origin ? — Ed. 
R. Sabini, Woods. Two clumps on sandhills at further side of 
R. Naver, from Betty Hill, Sutherlandshire. I do not think this exactly 
corresponds with true Sabini , though undoubtedly near it. July, 
1888.— J. Cosmo Melvill. “Appartient au groupe Sabini des 
varietes du R. involuta , Sm. Sepales entiers ” — F. Crepin. “ Sabini .” 
— J. G. Baker. 
R. involuta , Sm., var. Barnes Common, Surrey, 23rd September, 
1884 — W. R. Linton. “ Pourrait bien etre une variete du R. involuta , 
mais trop incompletement representee pour bien juger.” — F. Crepin. 
Mr. Baker says “ Compare tomentella ; I think, not involuta .” 
R. involuta , Sm., var. Doniana (Woods). Near Giggleswick, 
Yorks., Co. 64. 27th September, 1888. — R L. and F. P. Thompson. 
“ teste J. G. Baker.” “ Cette forme qui a des glandes sous-foliaires tres- 
nombreuses, ne peut pas etre la forme decrite par Woods sous le nom 
de R. Doniana , qui n’a pas de glandes sous les folioles. Ce fait 
partie du groupe Sabini , du R. involuta — F. Crepin. 
R. mollis , Sm., var. glabrata , Fries. Strome Ferry, West Ross, 
3rd August, 1888. In 1884 my brother and I discovered only two or 
three bushes of this Rose, close together, and from .them we sent up 
a few specimens to the club labelled Rosa mollis , var. As I 
remarked in last year’s ‘Report,’ “Dr. N. J. Scheutz has identified 
specimens of mine as the var. glabrata of Fries.” This last summer 
we were able to find a few more bushes more than half-a-mile from 
those first found, along the line of rail ; and to note that the petals, in 
a few belated flowers under the shade of a rock, were pure white. —
