sepals.” — Dr. W. O. Focke. “Doubtless some mistake. Does Dr. 
Focke mean to call this R. Questierii ?” — C. C. Babington. 
Rubus Kcehleri, W. and N. * Baker. Hedge near Borgue, Kirkcud- 
brightshire, 18th September, 1889 . — Charles Bailey. “I am 
inclined to call this R. pi intho stylus .” — C. C. Babington. 
R. Kcehleri ', W. and N . ; Baker. Near Bardon Mill, Northumber- 
land, 17th September, 1889. New County record. Quarry, Whaley 
Bridge, Derbyshire, 27th July, 1889. New County record. — C harles 
Bailey. R. Kcehleri pallidus , Bab., not of W. and N.” — C. C. 
Babington. 
R. Kcehleri , W. and N. ; Baker. Roadside, Gorphwysfa, in the 
neighbourhood of Menai Bridge, Carnarvonshire, 8th September, 
1888 . — Charles Bailey. Dr. Focke refers this to R. macrothyrsos ; 
see note under R. pubescens from Dolbadarn. “I have authentic 
R. macrothyrsos before me and I think this is correctly so named. It 
is a beautiful plant, of which I had not previously seen British 
specimens.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. distradus , P. J. Mull., fide Dr. Focke. Rudyard Reservoir, 
N. Staffordshire, 27th August, 1887. — W. H. Painter. “I have 
original R. distractus (Ronces Vosg. 53) before me. Focke (p. 351) 
does not consider it to differ from the typical R. Kcehleri, and he is 
probably correct.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. dumetorum ferox , Weihe (under R. diver sifolius, Lindl.) West 
Cliff Moor, Bournemouth, S. Hants, 1st Aug. 1889. — Coll. W. Moyle 
Rogers with Dr. W. O. Focke. “ Differs from German type only 
by white petals which are rare with us ” — Dr. Focke. “I do not 
understand the note on the ticket. What is the name that Dr. Focke 
gave to it? If this is dumetorum ferox o£the ‘Rub. Germ.’ it is very 
different from Lindley’s diversifolius . It does certainly much resemble 
the plate R. G. 45 B. except that it is much less strongly armed ; but 
then I do not think it can be horridus of Schultz.” — C. C. Babington. 
R.fuscus , W. and N. Symonds Yatt, on the Wye, Gloucestershire, 
31st July, 1889. I send this as a County record. I believe it to be 
the plant so called by Dr. Focke from stations in neighbouring 
counties. — W. H. Purchas. “Yes.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. diversifolius , Lindl. = Roreogeion, Focke, teste Dr. Focke, 
Bradley, S. Derbyshire, 15th July, 1887. — W. R. Linton. “Not 
diversifolius , I think. I am glad to have the R. oreogeton authenticated 
by Dr. Focke.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. horridus , Schultz, = R. dumetorum , Warren ; Baker. Hedge, 
Masberry, in the neighbourhood of Wells, North Somersetshire, 13th 
July, 1889. New County record? — C harles Bailey. “ Near R. 
diversifolius , Lindl.” — Dr. Focke. “I agree with Dr. Focke in 
calling this R. diversifolius.” — C. C. Babington. 
R. festivus , M. and W. ? Dinmore Woods, Herefordshire, 3rd 
Oct., 1889. I probably ought not to have attemped to name this 
plant. It was sent, from the same station, to Dr. Focke in 1885 ; and 
named by him “ mucronatus, Blox. I think.” If this is so, the range 
of armature in R. mucronatus must indeed be great. The present 
plant is widely spread in Herefordshire, and I have seen it in
