REPORT FOR 1900. 
631 
near St. Boswells, northern Roxburghshire, 29th September 1898. 
A record for county 80. — Charles Bailey. Also, a bush south of 
Aytonwood House, on the high road between Ayton and Cairncross, 
on the old post road to Edinburgh, north-east Berwickshire, nth 
July 1900. Not recorded for county 81 in the ‘Handbook,’ p. 103. — 
Charles Bailey. 
Rubus anglicanus , Rogers. West Cliff, Bournemouth, S. Hants, 
and Branksome Park, Dorset, June 1900. — W. M. Rogers. 
R. radula , Weihe, subsp. echinatoides , Rogers. Shornden Wood, 
St. Leonards, E. Sussex, nth August 1900. — W. M. Rogers. 
R. Newbouldii, Bab. Form with exceptionally acuminate leaflets. 
Burwardsley, Cheshire, 23rd July 1900. I send this plant as specially 
interesting, because I believe it was after seeing it for the first time that 
Mr. Moyle Rogers wrote in ‘Handbook of Brit. Rubi,’p. 74, under R. 
viacrostachys , P. J. M. : “not always distinguishable without difficulty 
from R. Nezvbouldiid After seeing further specimens this year, he 
suggests the note I have put on the labels, and writes: “I now accept 
your name, R. Nezvbouldii, for this plant in preference to R. viacro- 
stackys, P. J. M., formerly suggested by me; because, after studying it 
side by side with your ordinary Cheshire Nezvbouldii in the living 
state in successive years, you are better able to judge of the correctness 
of the name than I can be from dried specimens only, especially as I 
derive such imperfect knowledge as I have of R. macrostachys solely 
from dried specimens of British plants for which Dr. Focke has 
suggested that name. These last, so far as I can judge from dried 
specimens, still seem to me sub-Bellardian, and closely allied to R. 
fuscus , and therefore distinct from the more Radulan R. Nezvbouldii 
as I have seen it growing in some quantity in Salop, and also as it is 
represented by your strong Edge Green plant.” I might add that 
the growing plant, in colour and facies, does not in the least recall 
R. fuscus. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
R. regillus , A. Ley; ‘Journal of Botany,’ 1896, p. 217; “form less 
glandular than type.” — W. M. Rogers. Wood between Chelford and 
Alderley Edge, north-east Cheshire, 20th August 1898. This species 
is new to county 58, its distribution in England not being known 
north of West Gloucester and Hereford. — Charles Bailey. 
R. melanodermis, Focke, (R. melanoxylon, Bab. prius.). Brank- 
some Park, Dorset, June and July 1900. — W. M. Rogers. 
R. macrostachys , P. J. Muell. (W. M. Rogers). Walton, near 
Liverpool, S. Lancashire, 21st July 1900; and Hightown, S. Lanca- 
shire, 15th July 1900. New to v.-c. 59. — J. A. Wheldon. 
R. pallidus, W. and N. Near Wellington, Salop, 30th July 1900. 
W. H. Painter. “Yes, I think.” — W. M. R.
