Rubus sp. Buckden, Hunts, 28th August, 1886. — W. R. Linton.

ligerinus ” — C. C. Babington.

Passed by Mr. Baker. 
Rosa rubiginosa , L. var. comosa , Rip. Hedge, Sprowston, Norfolk, 
Sept., 1886. So named for me three years ago by Messrs. Bennett 
and Nicholson ; I find it hard to see how it differs from R. sylvicola , 
Dsgl., which was the name I had given it. — E. F. Linton. 
R. ?Jiicraiitha, Sm. var. echinocarpa , Rip. (so stated in Nyman’s 
Conspectus). Border of sandy field, Sprowston, Norfolk, October, 
1886. — E. F. Linton. 
R. agrestis , Savi. Near Gloddaeth, Llandudno, August, 1886. — 
J. E. Griffith. “This is characteristic agrestis (sepium)':' J — J. G. 
Baker. 
R. agrestis , Savi. Hedge on stiff soil, Abbotsley, Hunts, 1st July, 
1886. Not new to the county, but in a fresh locality, at the extreme 
south of the county. — E. F. Linton. “Yes.” — J. G. Baker. 
R. canina, L., var. dumalis , Bechst. Knypersley, Staff., August, 
1886. — W. H. Painter. “ This is a curious form, simulating the 
stylosa style, but not like stylosa in anything else.” — J. G. Baker. 
R. biserrata , Merat. Biddulph, Staffs., Sept., 1886. — W. H.

R. frondosa, Steven. Greenway Bank, Brown Edge, Staffs., Sept, 
1886. — W. H. Painter. Correct. 
Rosa canbia , L. var. Sprowston, Norfolk, Sept., 1886. — I send 
fuller specimens of a Rosa , which I once before sent as tomentella , and 
which Mr. Baker put down as “ nearer frondosa .” It has a remarkably 
raised disk, which in riper fruit becomes conical, and there is a good 
deal of (deciduous) hair on the upper surface of the leaves when young. 
E. F. Linton. “ This is very near the preceding. I think frondosa 
is the best name. Obtusifo'lia comes in between frondosa and tomentella , 
but it has more open serrations and a more hairy leaf.” — J. G. Baker. 
Rosa sp. Vale of Llangollen, Denbigh, 17th August, 1886. A 
subcristate form, about which Mr. J. G. Baker writes : “ A form with- 
out a name, differing from Watsoni by less hairy, less compound 
leaves and hispid peduncles.” In several spots in the vale,, and in 
considerable quantity. Peduncles sometimes naked, sometimes 
with a few aciculi, extending to the fruit. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
Rosa. ? Madresfield, Malvern, Worcestershire.

2. Flowers, July 8th or 9th, 1886. 
3. Fruit and leaves, Nov. 4th, 1886. 
This rose is peculiar in being more or less an evergreen trailing 
shrub ; it is at no time of the year entirely destitute of leaves. Its 
very small fruit is also remarkable, as also the fact that it (usually, 
though not always) remains green until December or January, and
