8 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Rubus incurvatus , Bab. ; also from Kew, by Mr. Baker, 3rd 
August, 1878. Professor Babington does not accept this name, 
considering the plant another of the doubtful allies of rhamnifolius . 
Rubus imbricatus , Hort. Sent unnamed- by Mr. J. Harbord 
Lewis, from Dale Lane, S.W. Lancashire, 13th August, 1879. Prof. 
Babington writes “ This seems to be a plant which I have rather 
doubtfully placed to imbricatus .” 
A Rubus , from a lane off Park road, Poolstock, near Wigan, 
S.W. Lancashire, 26th August, 1879, is sent by Mr. J. H. Lewis, 
which Prof. Babington calls ramosus, approaching very near to 
imbricatus . 
Rubus discolor , W. & N. Dr. Boswell sends a specimen from 
Kingcausie, Kincardineshire, September, 1879, with the remark that 
this species is very rare in the east of Scotland. 
Rubus Salieri , Bab., b. calvatus, Blox. Sent by Dr. John 
Fraser and Mr. James E. Bagnall, from the Appleby road, 
Twycross, Leicestershire, 6th September, 1879. Mr. Bagnall also 
sends what he thinks is the same plant, from Buckswell, Warwick- 
shire, September, 1879. He writes that “ it occurs in two or three 
places in the county, and that it seems to prefer old sand quarries for 
its habitat.” 
Mr. Lewis sends a specimen which he considers near R. calvatus , 
from the main road by Moor Hall, Aughton, S.W. Lancashire, 
19th August, 1879. Prof. Babington writes “There is not a single 
perfect terminal leaflet, a part very much wanted here. Is it the atro- 
rubens of Bloxam ? The panicle is very like and the leaves seem 
possibly the same.” 
Mr. J. Harbord Lewis sends a Rubus from a hedge, Dale Lane, 
Kirkby. S.W. Lancashire, 13th August, 1879, which he thinks to be 
near affinis or rhamnifolius. Prof. Babington names it carpinifolius. 
Mr. Baker says : — “ Looks to me affinis , mixed with umbrosus .” 
Rubus maci'ophyllus , Weihe, a. umbrosus , Arrh. Delf, west of 
the railway station, Kirkby, S.W. Lancashire, 1st September, 1879. 
Sent by Mr. J. H. Lewis, thus named. Prof. Babington thinks this 
is carpinifolius. Mr. Briggs is doubtful about umbrosus being correct, 
though possibly so, but the specimens are very unsatisfactory. 
Rubus macrophyllus , Weihe, d. amplificatus , Lees. Sent by Mr. 
J. E. Bagnall,. from Twycross, Leicestershire, 6th September, 1879 
(Co. 55). Also, from hedges at Old Park, Warwick, September and 
October 1879, from Dr. R. L. Baker and Mr. H. Bromwich. Also, 
from Solihull, Warwickshire, September, 1876, by Dr. John Fraser. 
Prof. Babington says, “the specimen issued by Bloxam, with this 
name, has felted leaves ; not so that of Mr. Bagnall. Former speci- 
mens from Bloxam have no felt on the leaves, and may well be the 
same as the plant from Mr. Bagnall, although the leaflets are very 
much larger in 'that from Bloxam. That from Dr. Fraser seems 
correct, and also that from Mr. Bromwich. I think Dr. Baker’s 
plant is true macrophyllus , but it is a very bad specimen.” 
Rubus macrophyllus , Weihe, e. glabratus. Dr. Eyre de 
Crespigny sends this species from two stations in Middlesex, viz., 
in lane leading from Hampstead Heath to Fortune Green, and from 
Highgate Wood, August, 1879. Prof. Babington thinks it is
