mistake for R. Borreri. The true plant, of which I now send 
specimens, passed under the synonym of R. intectus about the years 
1890 and 1891 . — Edward F. Linton. 
Rub us . Open rough ground, Thornbury, Herefordshire, 27 th 
June, 1893. Petals pale pink, stamens white, exceeding the green- 
ish styles. — A ugustin Ley. This is the plant which Mr. Ley now 
proposes placing under R. Borreri , Bell-Salt, as a new var. with the 
name virgultorum (see ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1894, p. 143). This seems a 
good arrangement, as, on the whole, its alliance with R. Borreri is, I 
think, closer than with R. infestus , which in some particulars it 
recalls.— W. M. R. 
R. fuscus , W. & N., form. Hulland, Derby, August, 1892. See 
1891 ‘Report,’ p. 331. Some more satisfactory specimens sent. So 
far I have seen this only at Hulland, where it occurs in two places. — 
Wm. R. Linton. R. fuscus , W. and N., form approaching R. 
uncinatus, P. J. Muell. — W. M. R. 
R. fuscus , W. & N., f. hirsutissima. Welsh Newton Common, 
Herefordshire, 19th June, 1893. See 1886 ‘Report,’ p. 149. — 
Augustin Ley. This looks as if it might be R. fuscus x leucostcichys . — 
W. M. R. 
R. rosaceus , W. & N., var. infecundus , Rogers. Wood on 
Worle Hill, North Somerset, July, and 18th August, 1893. R. hysirix, 
W. and N., Wych Valley, West Somersetshire, 7th August, 1893. — T. 
W. White. I agree.— W. M. R. 
R. rosaceus , W. & N., var. silvestris (n. var.), R. P. M. Wooded 
glen above Porlock, Somerset, 5th September, 1892. This var. will 
be fully described in the next part of the ‘ Flora of Somerset ’ (now 
passing through the press). I learn from the Rev. W. M. Rogers that 
it is the same as a plant collected by Mr. J. W. White, which Dr. 
Focke thought “ near R. ericetorum” — R. P. Murray. A common 
woodland form in the Lynton (North Devon) neighbourhood, differing 
from var. hysirix chiefly by its shorter broader panicle and thinner 
leaves. — W. M. R. 
R radula, Weihe, ang/icanus, n. var. Bournemouth, September, 
1893. — VV. M. Rogers. 
R. pneruptorum, Boul. Near Bodorgan Station, Anglesey, August, 
r893 . — Jno. E. Griffith. This naming was suggested to Mr. 
Griffith by me after seeing dried specimens in 1892. But on becoming 
acquainted with the living plant in 1894, Dr. Focke and I were 
agreed in considering it to be a strong variety of R. radula , Weihe, 
nearer to the typical plant than to any other of our named forms. — 
W. M. R. 
R. scaber , W. & N. ; form, but not typical, W. M. Rogers and 
E. F. Linton. On the banks of the Canal, Limpley Stoke, N.W. 
Wiltshire, 27th July, 1893. R. scaber is not recorded for vice- 
county 7 in ‘Top. Bot.,’ p. 143 . — Charles Bailey. I fear, after all 
that this cannot come under R. scaber , even in an aggregate sense. I 
rather suspect a hybrid origin. — W. M. R. “No affinity with R. 
scaber , W. et N., but very near the R. Babingtonii ( scaber , Babingt.)” 
— Dr. Focke.
