408 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Rubus near pyramidalis, Kaltenbach ; W. M. Rogersand E. F. Linton. 
Trailing in cleared places in the woods ascending to Conkwell, north- 
west Wiltshire, 25th July, 1893. Of specimens of this plant, and of 
another not sent to the Club from the banks of the canal near the 
aqueduct, Limpley Stoke, the Rev. E. F. Linton writes me: — “An 
interesting form more nearly allied to R.pyramidalis , Kalt., than anything 
we know. If you could gather it in flower it might be worth studying 
for description.” Upon a very similar plant from the Conkwell woods, 
Mr. Linton remarked that it looked “ like a very glandular form of 
pyramidalis , only with harsh glabrous leaves.” Mr. J. W. White and 
the Bristol and Bath botanists might look this plant up. Starting 
from the canal aqueduct which crosses the River Avon, the plant is 
frequent on the right of the path, and in the woods to the right below 
Conkwell. — Charles Bailey. “ R. obscurus , Kaltenb., a variable 
species, but the forms formerly distinguished as R. insericatus , R. 
rubicundus , etc., cannot be kept distinct.”— Dr. Eocke. 
R. podophyllus, P. J. Muell. Festiniog, North Wales, August, 
1893. — J. E. Griffith. Yes. — W. M. R. 
R. mucronatus, Blox. ; E. F. Linton. (1) Railway bank, Whitriggs, 
in the neighbourhood of Seascale, SAV. Cumberland, 21st September, 
1893. (2) Near the cemetery in the lower road between Grange and 
Cartmel, Lake Lancashire, 29th September, 1893. Not recorded 
for vice-counties 70 and 69 in ‘ Top. Bot.’ p. 142 (under R. mucronu- 
latus , Bor.) — Charles Bailey. (1) The Whitriggs plant is clearly 
rhamnifolian, I think ; but I cannot name it more exactly without 
seeing better material. (2) Lake Lane. Probably enough rightly 
named, though I should have preferred not giving an opinion from 
these late gathered specimens. — W. M. R. 
R. auglosaxonieus , Gelert. Chase Wood, near Ross, Herefordshire, 
24th July, 1893. — A. Ley. Buckland St. Mary, 14th July, 1893; and 
near Crewkerne, 21st June, 1893, Somerset. — R. P. Murray. Var. 
raduloides , Rogers. Worle Hill, North Somerset, July, 1893. — 
J. W. White. All rightly named, I believe. — W. M. R. 
R. auglosaxonieus, Gelert, var. setulosus, Rogers. Berrington 
Woods, 28th June, 1893, and wood hedge, Belmont, nth August, 
1893; Herefordshire. — Augustin Ley. Rightly named, I think, 
though neither plant is so conspicuously distinct from my var. 
raditloidcs as is the Howie Hill one from which my description of 
setulosus (‘ Journ. Bot.,’ 1892, page 269) was drawn. But nowhere 
else have I seen this species so extraordinarily variable as in Hereford- 
shire. — W. M. R. 
R. infestus , Weihe (non Bab.) Near Bethesda, Carnarvonshire, 
July, 1889. — J. E. Griffith. Rightly named. A very strongly armed 
form, with exceptionally roundish leaflets; probably growing in very 
sunny open ground. — W. M. R. 
R. Borreri , Bell-Salt. Norden Heath, near Wareham, Dorset, 3rd 
August, 1892. I was introduced to this locality by the Rev. W. 
Moyle Rogers. Though R. Borreri is not asked for in the Desiderata 
list, this can only be from members having their herbaria supplied 
with the form of R. Sprengelii which for some years was circulated in
