REPORT FOR 1887. 
I71 
pale pink, stamens and pistils whitish. Of this species, Professor 
Babington says: “I think, our rhanmifolius ^ of which the colour of 
petals seems rather doubtful.’' A very much condensed form, with 
formidable prickles. — Geo. Webster. “Group of 7 'hammfolius near 
R. dumosus, Lefv. et Muell.” — W. O. Focke. 
Riibus Mimiteri, INIarss. Bradley, Derbyshire, 20th July, and i8th 
October, 1887. — W. R. Linton. “Correct.” — W. O. Focke. 
R. Aliienteri^ Marss. (fide Babington). Thicket, Shobdon, Here- 
fordshire, 22nd July, 1887. — Augustin Ley. A very different looking 
plant from the one passed as correctly named by Dr. Focke. 
R. nemoralis^ Muell. {R. Aluenteri^ Marss.), fide C. C. Babington. 
Quakers’ Wood, near York. Petals white, stamens and pistils 
white. August, 1887. Professor Babington says of this, that it is 
what he should have called a state of his macrophyllus, glabratus,” 
but thinks it is as above. — Geo. Webster. “Group of rhanmi- 
folius near R. cardiophyllus. Lefv. & Muell.” — W. O. Focke. 
“ Is most certainly the old iimbrosus of Babington, and carpini- 
folius of Bloxam. It is a Bramble I know well, as it occurs 
about Plymouth in two forms, the larger well represented by Mr. 
Webster’s specimens, being found in many places in the enclosed 
country; and a smaller form growing on the downs, or wider and 
more open places. I suppose these would now be placed by 
Babington under Maassii or Miieiiteri. The terminal leaflet of Mr. 
Webster’s plant seems most like that of Miienteri^ as described by 
Babington in ‘Jour. Bot.’ for last year, p. 333.” — T. R. A. Briggs. 
R. mcwvatus^ Bab. Shobdon Marsh, Herefordshire, 22nd July,

Devon, 8th August, 1887. — T. R. Archer Briggs. 
R. ramosus, Blox. Wood border. Tregaron, Cardigan, 9th 
August, 1887. New County record. — Augustin Ley. Hartshill 
Quarries, Warwickshire, 15th August, 1880. This plant differs in 
some respects from Mr. Briggs’ Devonshire plants. Mr. Briggs, 
however, considered it to be a form of R. ramosus, and, I believe, 
finds it abundantly in som^ the Plymouth localities. — J. E. 
Bagnall. 
R. pubescens, W. and N. Railway siding in the neighbourhood 
of Hesketh Bank, on the banks of the River Douglas ; S. Lanca- 
shire, 1 2th September, 1887. Field hedge, Hesketh Bank, 12th
