“ Borreri.”— C. C. Babington. “ I know no correct name for this 
plant, which I have received many years ago from Mr. Archer Briggs. 
In the dried specimens I cannot find a nearer relation to R. Sprengelii 
( Borreri ). ” — D r. F ocke. 
Rubus Purchasii , Bloxam. Wood, Hoole Green, Hereford, 27th 
August, 1886. Mr. Purchas tells me that “this seems to correspond 
exactly with what R. Purchasii has become under cultivation.” — Dr. 
Focke says of it “ R. Drejeri, G. Jensen, or very near it. Perhaps 
the same as R. ColemanniV ’ — Augustin Ley. “This is my 
Newbouldii just published in J. of B. Bloxam unfortunately did not 
describe his plant, and I overlooked the identity of Newbould’s plant 
with his until too late to adopt his name. In one sense, I am glad 
that Bloxam’s name drops ; in another, I am sorry ; but it must do 
so.” — C. C. Babington. “ R. Purchasii , Blox. ; I believe the name 
may be right.” — Dr. Focke. 
Rubus scaber, W. and N. ? Leigh Wood, North Somerset, Sept., 
1886. This does not appear to me to be good scaber , but I think 
it may perhaps be the plant which is recorded in “ British Rubi” as 
having been gathered in Leigh Woods by Mr. Flower. — J as. W. White. 
“ R. Babingtonii , Bell-Salt. =R. scaber , Babgt., not Wh. and N.” — Dr. 
Focke. “ Babingtonii — C. C. Babington. 
R. scaber , W. and N. Harleston, Norfolk, 3rd August, 1886. 
This exactly agrees with a specimen I have named by Mr. Archer 
Briggs. — E. F. Linton. “ R. fuscus. Wh. et N.” — Dr. Focke. 
“ Babingtonii .” — C. C. Babington. 
R. Kcehleri , Weihe, v. mfesius , Bab. Wood. Coxwall Knoll, Here- 
ford, 2nd September, 1886 . — Augustin Ley. “Kcehleri.” — C. C. 
Babington. “ R. Kcehleri y vesiitus ? It is intermediate between the 
two species.” — Dr. Focke. 
R. cavatifolius, Miill. Near Trelleck, Monmouth, 6th August, 
1884 . — Augustin Ley. “ Cavatifolius .” — C. C. Babington. U R. 
scaber , Wh. and N. (not Babgt.)” — Dr. Focke. 
R. Kcehleri, W eihe, v. pallidus , Bab. Sellack, Hereford, 24th July, 
1886 . — Augustin Ley. <e R. Kcehleri, Wh. and N.” — Dr. Focke. 
“ I consider this to be Lejeunii — C. C. Babington. 
R. pallidus , W. and N. Moist copse, Sprowston, Norfolk E., nth 
September, 1887. I send a good supply of this Rubus, which was 
named for me a year ago by Dr. Focke, and was referred to in last 
Report. Professor Babington remarks on specimens forwarded to him 
with the others from the Club, “ It is interesting to have these, named 
pallidus by Focke. They agree well with specimens received from 
him. But it is clearly not our pallidus, which I believe to be a form 
of KcehleriC — E. F. Linton. 
R. diver sifolius, Lindl. Hedge by copse, Beeston Park, near 
Norwich, 4th August, 1886. — E. F. Linton. “A form of tuberculatus 
which I, with Bloxam, have sometimes called apiculatus. But I think 
the true apiculatus is different.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. fuscus, W. and N. Wood border near Welsh Newton, Mon- 
mouth. Dr. Focke says of this plant: — “ R. fuscus, W. and N. ; 
varietas hirsutissima, parce glandulosa.” I do not know whether 
Professor Babington would consider these plants identical with our
