inside base of the sepals. I cannot help thinking that this is the 
plant referred to in the “ Flora of Hampshire ” (where R. mucronatus 
is not given) under R. macrophyllus , var. glabrcitus as “Frequent 
about Bournemouth ; very abundant on the East Cliff.” — W. Moyle 
Rogers. “ I presume it is R. mucronatus .” — C. C. Babington. 
Rubus , near mucronatus , Bloxam ; Baker. On the road side, 
Cwm-y-Glo, on the north-eastern side of Llyn Padarn, Carnarvonshire, 
13th September, 1888. New County record? — C harles Bailey. 
“ I consent.” — Dr. Focke. “ I am glad to see that Dr. Focke admits 
this.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. Sprengelii , W. and N. ; Baker. On the road side at the foot 
of the Clegir, on the north-eastern side of Llyn Padarn, Carnarvon- 
shire, 13th September, 1888. New County record. Road side near 
Newton Stewart, on both sides of the river Cree, Kirkcudbrightshire 
and Wigtonshire, 21st September, 1889. New to Scotland. — 
Charles Bailey. “ I doubt if these would be passed by Dr. Focke. 
Formerly we should have called them R. Borreri .” — C. C. Babington. 
R. rubicolor , Blox. Wet thickets, Howie Hill, Herefordshire, 
26th July, 1889 . — Augustin Ley. “I think it is very close to 
Sprengelii. ” — C. C. Babington. 
R. velatus , Lef. Lyonshall Park Wood, Herefordshire, 18th July, 
1889 . — Augustin Ley. “Yes.” — C. C. Babington. 
Rubus , near Bloxamii , Lees; Baker. Hedge in lane in the 
neighbourhood of Knutsford, Cheshire, 31st August, 1889, New 
County record? — C harles Bailey. “ R. pyramidalis , Kalt.” — Dr. 
Focke. “Certainly very unlike what I have supposed to be 
pyramidalis , Kalt., judging from Focke’s specimens which seem very 
near our R. hirtifolius. I think there must be some mistake here. 
Neither is it the R. umbraticus of Genevier. It is very like Mr. Ley’s 
Welsh Newton Plant (21st September; 1885) called ‘ R. fuscus, forma 
hirsutissima parce glandulosa 5 by Dr. Focke.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. rhenanus , Mull, ? Rigg’s Wood, Sellack, Herefordshire, 18th 
September, 1889 . — Augustin Ley. “This is the plant Areschoug 
,sent to Genevier as R. Bloxamii from Plymbridge, Devon (1871), and 
placed by the latter with R. rhenanus, Mull. May it not be distinct 
from both? Its leaves are very different. I do not call it R. 
rhenanusP — C. C. Babington. 
R. thyrsiflorus , W. and N. Crackley Wood, Kenilworth, War- 
wickshire, 20th June, 1889. Specimens of this plant have been 
kindly examined by Prof. Babington, who says “that which you 
have called R. thyrsiflorus from Crackley Wood, Kenilworth, I 
consider to be a form of that species,, but the R. myriadenophorus 
(Rip.) of Genevier’s Monograph. If ours is really his plant, and it 
agrees well with his authentic specimens, the characteristics are not 
quite constant. It was first characterised in print in ‘ Gen. Suplt ,’ 
page 89, 1872. This is the first specimen I have seen of it from 
England ; but I have not very carefully examined all my specimens 
named R. thyrsiflorus as yet, and may find it amongst them. On a 
hurried look I find what is probably the same from Rev. A. Ley as 
Bloxamii from Cowley Park, Malvern, 19th July, 1887, and from Dr.
