England (Mona — Isle of Man ? or, it may be the Welsh Island ?) Dill, 
Cornwall, Plukenet’s locality not indicated, Woolwich, Gravesend, 
Deal, Yarmouth (Ray). b, W. France (Lloyd), Sables d’Olonne (Vende'e 
J. Letourneau), and now may be added Spain. Prod. FI. Hisp., 
vol. iii., p. 394. England — Norfolk ! Suffolk ! The specimens sent 
from Cornwall by Mr. Yarenne as O. arvensis b. repens probably 
belong to var. a , but there is no ripe fruit, so that it is a little 
uncertain. As to the name O. repens , L., for a full and detailed 
account I would refer to Prof. Lange’s paper, entitled ‘ Bidrag til 
Synonymiken for nogle kritiske Arter fra Danmarks og Nabolandenes 
Floraer, af Joh. Lange, Kjobenhavn, 1873,’ pp. 25-42. One extract 
only I should like to give : ‘M. Wallroth, qui a fourni de precieux 
materiaux sur les especes de ce groupe, et qui a mis en doute l’identite 
de YO. repens et de VO. procurrens , a deja adresse une invitation a ses 
collegues d’Angleterre, pour les engager a rechercher si la plante qui 
croit sur les cotes anglaises doit etre reunie a YO. procurrens , ou en 
etre separee comme une espece distincte ; mats cette invitation est 
restee jusqu'a present sans resultail This is to be regretted, written as 
this was in 1873. Will British botanists now search out these forms 
and help Professor Lange? — A rthur Bennett. On subsequently 
sending Mr. Bennett ripe fruit of Mr. Varenne’s plant, he writes, ‘ I 
now think it O. repens ; it will belong to a. inermis , Lange, Prod. 
Flor, Hisp., spinis omnino carens,’ while my Norfolk specimens 
belong to ‘ b. horrida , Lange, Prod. Flor. Hisp., spinis sat 
crebris \ — 1 pollicaribus, horizontaliter divergentibus arcuata.’”

Rubus ramosus , Bloxam. Between Longnor and Alstonfield, N. 
Staffordshire, 10th August, 1882. — W. H. Purchas. Doubtless

Archer Briggs. 
R. Colemanni , Blox. Quarry banks, Hart’s hill, Warwickshire. 
This was sent to Professor Babington in 1880, labelled R. Colemanni. 
Commenting on it he says : “I believe to be R. Colemanni , of 
Bloxam.” This plant is very abundant in the above-mentioned 
station, growing in company with R. leucostachys , but has a strikingly 
different appearance both in habit of growth and colour of flowers. — 
James E. Bagnall. There must be an error here, as these specimens
