REPORT FOR 1 893 .

Rubus . Wet woods, Titley, Herefordshire, 31st July, 1893. 
Confined to wet woods and thickets in Herefordshire. Petals 
white, stamens white, exceeding the greenish styles. — A ugustin Ley. 
“A form of the nitidus group not exactly corresponding with any named 
sub-species I know. It is near the R. divaricatus , P. J. Muell., (not 
Genev.)” — Dr. Focke. I agree with Mr. Ley in thinking it very 
difficult to separate this and similar plants which he has collected in wet 
thickets in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire from a Coughton Marsh 
one which Dr. Focke named leucandrus for us in 1891. But a positive 
determination from dried specimens only is often impossible in the case 
of plants gathered in such exceptional localities.-— W. M. R. 
R. carie?isis, Rip. & Genev. From three North Devon localities, 
viz., Parracombe, near Lynton, and near Bideford, July and October, 
1892, 1893. — R. P. Murray. All the plant which, on Dr. Focke’s 
suggestion, we are calling by this name, and certainly very near a 
French specimen in my herbarium, thus named by Genevier for the 
late Prof. Clavaud. — W. M. R. 
R. rhamnifolius, W. & N.,var. Near Bodorgan Station, Anglesey, 
August, 1893.— Jno. E. Griffith. A strong form inseparable from 
our ordinary British rhamnifolius. — W. M. R. 
R. rhamnifolius , W. & N., vars. 1 and 2. Near Caerhun, 
Bangor. — J no. E. Griffith. “ Var. 1 ” is R. villicaulis , Koehl., var. 
Selmeri, Lindeb, or a form near it. “Var. 2” is R. Lindleianus , 
Lees.— W. M, R. 
R. rhamnifolius, auct. brit. ; E. F. Linton. Hedge in road to 
Seascale Hall, Seascale, SAV. Cumberland, 25th September, 1893. 
Not recorded in ‘ Topogr. Bot.’ Ed. ii. , p. 139, for vice-county 70.— 
Charles Bailey. I see nothing in the panicle to separate this from 
R. rhamnifolius , but the stem pieces have a look of R. pulcherrimus , 
Neum., and the specimens were gathered too late for satisfactory 
determination.— W. M. R. 
R. affinis, W. & N. Bournemouth, S. Hampshire, June, 1893. — 
W. M. Rogers. 
R. imbricatus , Hort. Near Nos Canol, Bangor, August, 1893. — 
J. E. Griffith. R. pulcherrimus, Neum. — W. M. R. 
R. nemoralis, P. J. Mull. Shapwick Moor, Somerset, 10th August, 
1892. — R. P. Murray. I suppose there is no doubt that Dr. Focke 
is right in considering this handsome plant a var. of Mueller’s nemoralis. 
It seems nearer to the form frequent in Herefordshire and in several 
Welsh counties, which the Rev. A. Ley proposes distinguishing as 
var. Silurum, ‘Journ. Bot.’ 1894, p. 142, than to what I think the 
typical plant in the Bournemouth neighbourhood. — -W. M. R. 
R. mercicus, Bagnall. Near Bethel, Anglesey, August, 1893. — J. E. 
Griffith. Mr. Griffith showed me this plant growing near Bethel in 
August, 1894, and I believe that it must be kept distinct from 
R. mercicus, though as yet I have no other name to suggest. — W. M. R. 
Minworth, Warwickshire, 29th July, 1893. — J. E. Bagnall. As I have 
stated in ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1894, p. 43, I consider Mr. Bagnall’s plant to 
be more nearly allied to R. villicaulis and R. durescens than to 
R. ramosus. — W. M. R.
