REPORT FOR 1 893. 
411 
Rubus fusco-ater , Weihe. Welsh Newton, Herefordshire, 19th June, 
1893. See ‘Report,’ 1880, p. 30. — Augustin Ley. Recalls the 
Derbyshire fusco-ater (see 1892 ‘Report,’ p. 367) in some particulars, 
though obviously unlike it in others, and especially in the leaves, 
which are nearer to those of R. scaber. Dr. Focke has seen it, but 
can make no suggestion. 
R. diversifolius , Lindl., var. intensus , Blox. Near Muggington, 
S. Derbyshire, September, 1891. — Wm. R. Linton. Agrees well with 
Lord de Tabley’s description of this form in ‘Journ. Bot.’ 1870. — 
W. M. R. 
R. diversifolius, Lindl. form. Shirley, South Derbyshire, Septem- 
ber, 1892. Leaves thin, not particularly tomentose beneath. Petals 
white, broad; styles green; stamens white. This seems a mild form 
of diversifolius, to which Messrs. Rogers and Purchas, who saw it this 
summer, assented. — Wm. R. Linton. 
R. . Bank, Beacon Hill, Trelleck, Monmouthshire, 4th 
July, 1893. This bramble grows in several widely separated 
localities in this district. It appears to be nearer dimietorum than 
anything else. — W. A. Shoolbred. Apparently a dumetorum form 
coming between vars. diversifolius and pilosus . Or perhaps it may be 
placed under the latter. — W. M. R. 
R. . No. 78. Yeldersley, South Derbyshire, August, 1892, 
and July, 1893. Noticeable features are the fine large rosy 
flowers and fruit corresponding, the sepals clasping or ascending, 
setae very few. A dumetorum form which I am unable to identify 
with any that I know. — Wm. R. Linton. A handsome dumetorum 
form, which I cannot name more definitely. — W. M. R. 
R. . Yeldersley, South Derbyshire, August, 1890. No. 11. 
See ‘ Report,’ 1890, p. 292. — Wm. R. Linton. Mr. Linton took me 
to the locality of this splendid plant last summer. That it is (as 
suggested in the 1890 ‘Report’) of hybrid origin there can, I think, 
be little doubt. Further than that I am afraid we can only guess. — 
W. M. R. 
R. Durotrigum, R. P. Murray. Hedges, Spetisbury, Dorset, 8th 
June, 1893. — R. P. Murray. 
R. acutifrons, A. Ley. Belmont Wood, Herefordshire, nth 
August, 1893. See ‘Journ. Bot.’ 1893, p. 13. — Augustin Ley. 
Near Bangor, August, 1893. — J. E. Griffith. Possibly the Bangor 
plant may not be distinct from the Herefordshire acutifrons. It is 
certainly like it in armature, colour, &c., though apparently different 
in foliage and in the shape of the panicle. But the pieces I have 
seen are not sufficient for satisfactory determination. — W. M. R. 
R. saxicolus, P. J. Muell. Repton (6th July, 1893) and Willington 
(3rd August, 1893), Derbyshire. I believe R. saxicolus has not been 
previously recorded as growing in Derbyshire. — W. H. Painter. 
Mr. Painter’s two plants seem practically identical. I suggested to him 
“ near saxicolus ” for the Repton one some months ago, and Dr. Focke 
has since written of it “ to be placed provisionally under R. saxicolus ,
