REPORT FOR I 879. 
7 
Spergularia marginata , Boswell. Sent by Mr. Charles Bailey, 
as new to county 48, from the muddy flats of the estuary near 
Barmouth Junction railway station, 21st July, 1879. This is what 
Prof. Babington and the Swedes call Lepigonum marinum. Prof. 
Babington holds strongly to Lepigonum being the proper generic name. 
Montia fontana , L., b. rivularis , E.B. From walls of a dripping 
spring at Tycoch, near Barmouth, 22nd July, 1879. New to 
county 48. Sent by Mr. Charles Bailey. 
Malva sylvestris , L, var., with conspicuously hairy carpels ; from 
the banks of the Thames, at Mortlake, Surrey, 20th October, 1879. 
Sent by Mr. George Nicholson, with the note that he can find no 
mention of any such variety in any of the floras he has consulted, 
most of which lay stress, for the specific distinction, on the carpels 
being glabrous. 
Trifolium scabrum , L. Dr. Boswell sends a large state of this 
species, due to the wet season, from between Burntisland and 
Pettycur, Fife, July, 1879. 
Trifolium sujfocatum , L. Mr. A. Bennett sends this from the 
North Denes, Great Yarmouth, where it occurred sparingly, August, 
1879. It has been previously recorded for the South Denes. 
Trifolium procumbens , L. Dr. R. L. Baker and Mr. H. 
Bromwich send, under the name of T. agrarium , L., plants from 
railway banks, Milverton, Warwickshire, July, 1879, which Dr. Boswell 
would call T. procumbens , which is T. agrarium of some authors, but 
not of the Linnean Herbarium. 
Vida Orobus , DC. Moss Hill, Hawick, Roxburgh, July, 1879. 
New to county 80. Collected by Mr. A. Waugh, and communicated 
by Mr. A. Brotherston. 
Fragaria elatior, Ehrh. Sent by Mr. H. Bromwich, from a wood 
at Barford, Warwickshire, June, 1879. Prof. Babington is not very 
satisfied with the name ; Dr. Boswell thinks it correct. 
Rubus Idceus , L., b. Leesii, Bab. Sent by Mr. Bromwich, from 
a bog at the Woodloes, near Warwick, a station first pointed out in 
the Report for 1875, P* I 4 - Prof. Babington says the plant is even 
more curious than the specimens show. 
Rubus affinis , W. & N. is sent Mr. J. Harbord Lewis, from a lane- 
side, north-west of Windle Moss, S.W. Lancashire, 15 th September, 
1879. Prof. Babington thinks it is correctly named, but the leaves 
are very bad. Rev. Augustin Ley sends a plant from rough 
pastures, Rhydiear, Herefordshire, nth September, 1879, which Prof. 
Babington calls discolor ; Mr. T. R. Archer Briggs thinks it “ R . 
rhamnifolius , just the plant referred to as argentatus in British Rubi, 
p. 87.” 
Mr. Lewis sends a Rubus , which he considers near to thyrsoideus , 
from Billinge Lane, Billinge, S.W. Lancashire, 10th September, 1879. 
Prof. Babington says this plant is an ally of rhamnifolius. Mr. 
Baker thinks it is affinis. 
Rubus cordifolius , W. & N., var. Sent by Mr. J. G. Baker, from 
Kew, Surrey, August, 1878. Prof. Babington says, “this may be 
the cordifolius of Baker, as he names it so. I have a specimen from 
Llanberis, which is marked doubtfully rhamnifolius , just like this; 
but if it is a form of the rhamnifolius of W. & N. may be doubted. ”
