REPORT FOR I 889. 
Rubus pyramidalis , Kalt. Mousehold Heath, Norfolk, 22nd 
August, 1887. — E. F. Linton. “Yes, according to Focke, but may 
there not be a mistake as it does not agree well, especially in the 
panicle?” — C. C. Babington. 
R. pyramidalis , Kalt. Biddulph Hall, Staffordshire, Aug. and 
Sept., 1889. Named by Dr. Focke. Specimens were sent to him 
from the same plant as those mentioned in Report 1888, p. 207, as 
growing at Biddulph Hall and the Bride Stones, with this result. 
New County record. — W. H. Painter. “ I consider this far more 
certainly correct than the previous plant.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. calvatus , Bloxam ; Baker. Hedge near the bridge in the lane 
between Gisburn and Long Preston, Mid-west Yorkshire, 23rd 
September, 1889. New County record ?^— Charles Bailey. u R. 
leucandrus Focke”? Dr. W. O. Focke. “ I see Focke suggests 
R. leucandrus . He kindly sent me this, but the specimens are not so 
good as usual with him. He recognised it as from Plymouth (‘Synopsis,’ 
p. 212).” — C. C. Babington. 
R. melanoxylon , P. J. Mull ; Dr. Focke. Shirley, Derbyshire, 
Aug., 1889. Seems only to differ from authentic R. calvatus , 
Blox. by the narrower more obliquely pointed terminal leaflet and the 
more prickly and setose panicle. W. H. Purchas. “This has 
manifestly had aciculi and probably setae on the stem. It shows the 
unnatural character of our groups. I do not wish to differ from 
Focke, and hardly think it can be calvatus .” — C. C. Babington. 
R. calvatus , Bloxam! Shirley, Derbyshire, Aug., 1889. — W. H. 
Purchas. “ If this is R. calvatus , Blox. we have probably quite the 
end of a stem for I do not think the furrows are found on it, except 
there. Focke calls Bloxam’s plant in part R. sylvaticus as did Bloxam 
originally.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. carpinifoliusPR . and N. non Bloxam. Near Rudyard Reservoir, 
Staffordshire, 16th Sept., 1889. Named by Dr. Focke.- — W. H. 
Painter. “ I suspect that this is geniculatus (Kalt.), a subordinate 
form of R. pubescens .” — C. C. Babington. 
R. villicaulis , W. and N. ; Baker. Roadside, near the breakwater, 
Holyhead, Anglesey, 7th September, 1888. New County record.— 
Charles Bailey. u R. pulcherrimus , Neuman = poly ant hemos , 
Lindebg. The true plant. In my herbarium this form is named var. 
GriffithiP — Dr. Focke. “ Focke’s determination is conclusive. I 
presume that it will go under his Neumani where Friderichsen and 
Gelert have placed polyanthemos and pulcherrimus and the whole stand 
(according to my idea) in the aggregate R. nemoralis, Mull.” — C. 
C. Babington. 
R. adscitus , Gen. Pengethly Wood, Sellack, Herefordshire, 18th 
Sept., 1889 .— Augustin Ley. “Does this differ essentially from 
typical R. villicaulis ?” — C. C. Babington. 
R. gratus , Focke. Sand quarry, Berkswell, Warwickshire, 
September, 1889. On this Prof. Babington says “ R. gratus. I think 
this is correctly named by you. It is nearer to R. villicaulis than to 
R. Salieri , I place it next to the former.” I have compared my plant 
with specimens received through the Club from Rev. W. R. Linton,
