was confirmed in 1872, by the late Rev. A. Bloxam, as his R. atro- 
?'ube?is. In 1873 it was sent, under this name, to Prof. Babington, 
who then said, “I consider this to be a form of R.foliosus, to which 
I join R. atro-ruhens^ Wirtg. It is also the exseccatiis, IMiilL” To 
myself it seems to differ in many respects from the Warwickshire R. 
foliosus, of which I also send a supply for comparison. — J. E. Bagnall. 
Rubus adornatus^ Mull. Gorstley Quarries, Herefordshire, 3rd 
August, 1887. — Augustin Ley. 
R. Bdlai'di. Weihe, var. b. de 7 itatus^ Blox. Atherstone Out- 
woods, Warwickshire,. 13th x\ugust, 1887. I have sent a series 
of the best examples I could find of this plant. The past season was 
unfavourable, as the plant grows on an elevated heath land, and the 
long drought caused it to be starved in growth. The station is an old 
one of the Rev. A. Bloxam’s I believe. — J. E. Bagnall, 
R. hirtus^ W. and N. Woods, Welsh Newton, Herefordshire, 
29th September, 1887; and Bishopsvrood, Herefordshire, i8th July, 
1887. — x\uGusTiN Ley. 
R. hirtus^ W. & N. Near Pengarnedd, Anglesey, September, 1887. 
— J. E. Griffith. “Group of R. hirtus\ a stout form.” — W. O. 
Focke. New County record. 
R. sp. Edwin Ralph Wood, September, 1886, and June, 1887. 
I submitted this plant to Professor Babington, and it was named by 
him “ R. Reuter agreeing well with authentic specimens of Merciers.” 
I cannot bring myself to believe that this is the same bramble as the 
R. Reiiteri of the Ross neighbourhood, specimens of which I also 
send (from Sellack). It is very abundant near Ross, and after 
seeing a great deal of this Ross plant, I think the Edwin Ralph 
plant cannot be the same. The plant is abundant in Edwin Ralph 
wood, but I do not know it elsewhere in the count)\ — x\ugustin 
Ley. “i?. hirtus, W. andN. A much more weak form.” — Dr. Focke. 
“ I have this Rubus, or what is essentially the same, though on my 
specimens the leaves of the stems are quinate, from a wood at 
Puslinch, Newton Ferrers, Devon. It was gathered so long ago as 
1873 and 1874, but has remained unnamed. In fruit the sepals 
appear to be patent or loosely adpressed.” — T. R. A. Briggs. New 
record for Vice-county 3. 
R. Reuteri, Merc. Sellack, Herefordshire, 20th July, 1887. — 
Augustin Ley. 
R. Furchasii, Blox. Wood, Howie Hill, Herefordshire, i8th 
July, 1887. — Augustin Ley. “ Correct, I think.” — W. O. Focke. 
“What is most undoubtedly the same as this occurs in many places 
in Devon and Cornwall, and I am delighted at being able, through 
the receipt of the specimen from Howie Hill, to get a name for it. I 
had thought it near R. KcEhleri, Weihe, and cavatifolius, P. J. Miill. 
The sharply pointed leaflets, with formal outline, and the light 
yellowish-green hue of the plant generally, are striking features. I 
have specimens from Bircham and Shalaford, Egg Buckland ; 
Passage Wood, Revelstoke ; and Caton, all in S. Devon; xVnthony ; 
Sheviocke ; and the Camel Valley.” — T. R. A. Briggs. New record 
for Vice-county 3.
