Critical Plants Recently Identified (Gloucestershire). 
Kind friends have recently named a number of critical specimens from 
my herbarium. The Club will be glad of the more important records thus 
obtained for Gloucestershire. Col. Wolley-Dod examined the Roses (from 
6 or 7 counties) and found a large number of new records. Before giving 
some of his results, I should like to quote parts of the letter he sent me when 
he returned the specimens : “ I am very glad to have seen your Roses. I 
have never seen so good a collection of specimens, i.e. good for identification. 
. . . . Also I have seldom, I should say never, been so nearly in accord with 
all the names suggested. . . . Where I have changed a name the change in 
most cases is not an important one. Day [Mr. E. M. Day of Rowan Cottage, 
Minchinhampton, who has sent me a large number of sheets, generally with 
a name suggested] seems to be quite a sound man. . . . Your collection 
has given me 33 new v.c. records as well as 10 doubtful ones, new, that is 
to my list, since I only include those of specimens I have seen myself. . . . 
v.c. 33, 11 new records and 3 doubtful, v.c. 34, 9 and 4 ? ”
