410 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH IST.ES, 
Rubus s caber, W. & N. Quarry near Dunster, Somerset, 8th 
September, 1892. — R. P. Murray. I know no better place for this 
curious plant than under an aggregate scaber. — W. M. R. 
R. cognatus , N. E. Brown. Shady Copse, Peperharrow, Surrey, 
15th August, 1893. — R. P. Murray. Plainly not separable from the 
Charles Hill (Surrey) plant thus named for me by Prof. Babington in 
1891, though in that (as in R. Babingtonii , its near ally) the fruiting 
sepals are patent, while here they are strongly reflexed. — W. M. R. 
R. debilis, Boul.? Linton Wood, Herefordshire, 20th July, 1893. 
See ‘ Report,’ 1888, p. 209. This plant is referred to by Rev. W. M. 
Rogers (‘ Key,’ p. 30), where he expresses doubt of its identity with 
plants from other parts ofEngland to which thisname has been given. 
Augustin Ley. In 1888 Dr. Focke suggested R. fuscus , W. and N., 
for this, while in 1892 he considered that, except in the colour of the 
llowers, it recalls R. cruentatus , P. J. Muell. May I advise the mem- 
bers to keep their specimens of this and of their other doubtful 
Herefordshire brambles, with the hope that Dr. Focke may be able 
to give us further help in naming them? — W. M. R. 
R. echinatus, Lindl.; E. F. Linton. Lane on road to Monkton 
Combe, N.W. Wilts, 24th July, 1893. Species not tabulated in 
‘Top. Bot.,’ p. 144 . — Charles Bailey. The typical plant, entered 
as “ rudis ” in ‘Top. Bot.’ For other N. Wilts localities see Preston’s 
‘ Flowering Plants of Wilts,’ under “ R. rudis , Weihe.” — W. M. R. 
R. sertiflorus , P. J. Mull. Rigg’s Wood, Sellack, Herefordshire, 
5th August, 1893. See Rogers’ ‘Key,’ p. 28 . — Augustin Ley. 
R. rudis , Weihe ; E. F. Linton. Field beyond the cemetery, on 
the road between Grange and Cartmell, Lake Lancashire, 29th 
September, 1893. I also collected it, 22nd September, 1893, on 
rocks at the foot of Hampsfield, Grange, but have not sent specimens 
to the Club. Not recorded for vice-county 69 in ‘ ' 1 'op. Bot.’ p. 144. — 
Charles Bailey. Undoubtedly R. radula , Weihe, and the typical 
plant ; but the specimens were collected so late in the year as to have 
nearly lost all definite character ; — a remark which unfortunately is 
true of most of Mr. Bailey’s last season’s Rubi gatherings for the 
Club.— W. M. R. 
R. scaber , W. & N. Cross o’ th’ Hands, South Derbyshire, July 
and August, 1892-3. This is the bramble commented on under the 
name of fuscus in the 1892 ‘ Report,’ p. 366. On seeing this in the 
living state Rev. W. M. Rogers pronounced it typical scaber. — Wm. R. 
Linton. Good scaber I think it ; but if I hastily spoke of it as 
“ typical,” I repent at leisure of my presumption. — W. M. R. 
R. adornatus , P. J. Muell. = R. alro-rubuis , Wirtg. Near Earls- 
wood, Warwickshire, 8th August, 1893.— J. E. Bagnall. The 
ordinary wide-spread English form, as I understand it ; as is the 
following from Dorset. — W. M. R. 
R. adornatus , P. J. Muell. Near Verwood, Dorset, 8th August, 
1893. From the same locality, and from some of the very bushes 
from which the specimens are taken which we are issuing in our set 
of Rubi to illustrate Mueller’s species. — E dward F. Linton.
