REPORT FOR I 892. 
361 ^ 
York, August, 1889. — J. A, Wheldon. The older name is M. indica, 
Allione ‘FI. Fed.’ It was the Trifolium Melilotus indica of the ‘ Sp. 
PL’ — G. C. Druce. 
T'ifolium Molinerii, Balb. Portelet, Jersey, June, 1877. — G. C. • 
Druce. 
T. strictum, L. La Moye, Jersey, June, 1877. — G. C. Druce. 
Spiraui Ulmaria, L., var. denudata, Presl. Between Alverstone 
and Newchurch, Isle of Wight ; Edge Green, near Malpas, Cheshire, 
30th July, 1892. Appears to be not uncommon. I could generally 
succeed in finding it mixed with the type whenever I searched for it. 
It appears to be quite independent of sunshine or shade. Besides 
the localities on the labels I have seen it by the canal at Hertford. — 
A. PI. Wolley-Dod. Bonninghausen in “ Prod. FI. Monast” reduced 
Presl’s species to a var. of S. Ulniaria. — G. C. Druce. 
Rubus Idaus, b. Leesii, Bab. Perfeddcoed road, Bangor 
(Carnarvon), Aug., 1891. — J. E. Griffith. First described, accord- 
ing to Dr. Focke, by Willdenow as R. obtusifolius, and in 1839 by 
Arrhenius under the name of R. idceus, anomaius from Sweden. 
According to the continental interpretation of the Leges nomen. it would 
probably be written as R. idceus, Linn. var. obtusifolius (Willd). — 
G. C. Druce. 
R. nitidus, W. & N. ? var. integribasis, P. J. Muell. See 
‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1890, p. 100. This form which Dr. Focke believes 
to be P. J. Mueller’s var. integribasis, replaces the type in S. Hants 
generally, and is the only form of R. nitidus known in Devon and 
Dorset. Kinson, Dorset; panicle, July; leaves, October, 1892. — 
E. F. Linton. “ Undoubtedly the plant which Dr. Focke has 
taught us to call integribasis ; but it may be desirable to point out 
that it is no longer the ‘ only,’ though still the usual form of 
R. nitidus found in DorsetP — W. M. Rogers. Also from Corfe Castle, 
Dorset, July, 1892, and Parkstone, Dorset (Coll. F. A. Rogers). — W. 
Moyle Rogers. 
R. nitidiis, W. & N. var. Llanberis, Carnarvon, Aug., 892.— - 
J. E. Griffith. “Not nitidus, probably villicaulis.” — W. R. 
Linton. Bearwood, Berks, Sept., 1892.— G. C. Druce. 
R. opacus, Focke. Vales Wood, Ruyton XI Towns, Salop, 
17th and 24th September, 1892. A very fine growth of this bramble 
occurred in the lower part of this wood, which is situated on red 
sandstone, so fine that I did not recognise it, and owe the name to 
the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, and the confirmation of it to Dr. WL O. 
Focke. The petals were pink, rather a light shade. Stamens on 
belated flowers appeared very short, but this may have been due to 
the late period of gathering. Barren stems were erect below and 
arching over above, some of them 6ft. high. — E F. Linton. 
R. affinis, WL & N. West Cliff, Bournemouth, S. Hants, July, 
1892. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. . Heanton Punchardon, N. Devon, i6th July, 1892. 
— W. H. Painter. “ This is, I believe, identical with the Devon 
plant referred to in ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ 1892, p. in, as R. Cariensis, Rip. 
and Genev.” — W. M. Rogers.
