h. ivfestus i\\Q ^Yloxdi of Herefordshire.’ The bush from which 
these specimens were taken had become more luxuriant than in the 
previous year when I examined it in company with the Rev. W. 
Moyle Rogers. — W. H. Purchas. 
Ruhus hysirix, Weihe. Near Shirley, S. Derby, September, 1892. 
Confirmed by Mr. Rogers. I send this up because (i) the plant 
hitherto regarded as hystrix, in Derbyshire, is most or all rosaceus, 
var. infecundus. (2) This is a variation from the plant in its narrow 
petals. (3) I have never received any good specimens of hystrix 
from the Club, and therefore judge such may be acceptable. — Wm. 
R. Linton. Vales Wood, Ruyton XI Towns, Salop, 24th Sep., 
1892. — E. F. Linton. 
R, hystrix^ AVeihe? Old quarries, Hanham, W. Gloucester, 17 th 
July, 1892; and by the Avon, near Brislington, N. Somerset, 29th 
August, 1891. — J. W. White. Both (the Hanham plant especially) 
just what I mean by '' R. rosaceus,\2x. mfeamdus^ in ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 
1892, p. 338 ; as are the Rev. W. R. Linton’s plants (so labelled) 
from ‘near Shirley, S. Derbyshire,”’ Sep., 1892. — AV. M. Rogers. 
Mr. AVhite sent a note headed “ R. rosaceus, W. & N., var. infeamdus, 
Rogers [this is the plant], labelled R. hystrix, the name under 
which this plant was formerly known.” 
R. preeruptorum, Boul. Near AVareham, Dorset, 25th July, 1892. 
Named originally by Prof. Babington, and adopted as the English 
type for our set of ‘ British Rubi.’ — E. F. Linton. Bere Wood, 
Dorset, 5th August, 1892.— R. P. Murray. 
R. scaber, W. & N. Near the Avon, under Sneyd Park, below 
Bristol, AVest Gloucester, 7th September, 1892. — J. AA^ AVhite. 
“ This is normal W. England R. adornatus, P. J. Muell, identical 
with Mr. Murray’s plant from Sutton Holms, Dorset (see below).” — 
AAb M. Rogers. 
R. scaber, AV. & N. f. teste Rev. AV. Moyle Rogers. Crowell, 
Oxon, September, 1892. — G. C. Druce. 
R. scaber, AV. & N. (Assented to as a north country form, not 
very typical, by Dr. Focke and AV. Moyle Rogers.) Near Belper, S. 
Derby, 22nd September, 1892. Not feeling satisfied with this as 
representing typical scaber I sent it to Dr. Focke, who replied : — 
“ Looks very different from the typical plant, but after a careful com- 
parison I think it will prove to be a shadegrown form of that species.” 
I quite fall in with this view. — E. F. Linton. Do. var., wood, near 
Tintern, W. Gloucester, 31st August, 1892. — Augustin Ley. Sand- 
stone quarry, same locality and same date. — W. A. Shoolbred. 
Watersmeet, in the neighbourhood of Lynmouth, N. Devon, 26th 
September, 1891. — Charles Bailey. “I am afraid that none of 
these can be accepted as near typical scaber, though probably that 
name in an aggregate sense may be rightly applied to them all. The 
Tintern plant seems identical with one from the same locality named I 
for me “/L scaber, AAh & N. var.,” by Dr. P'oeke. Of the AA^atersmeet p 
plant I have seen only a panicle.” — AV. M. Rogers. 
R. fusciis, AV. & N. var. Near Shirley, S. Derby, August, and 
September, 1892. Mr. Rogers prefers to put this under fuscus whilst
