remarking that it approaches scaber in being much less hairy, in its 
finer leaf toothing, and in its more subracemose lower branches. 
Dr. Focke remarks, “Not typical scaber^ but near it.” — W m. R. 
Linton. 
Rubus fuscus^ Weihe. Roadside near Stourton, Somerset, 15th 
August, 1892. — R. P. Murray. “ Rightly named, I think, though 
typical R. fuscus has more hairs and less unequal prickles on the stem 
and round based (not cordate) loiflets.” — W. M. Rogers. 
R. juscus, W. Coldborough Park Wood, Herefordshire, 15th 
August, 1892. — Augustin Ley. Crowell, Oxon, September, 1892. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
R. fuscus^ W. & N. Yar. '‘'‘nutans^' see ‘ Journ. Bot.’ 1892, p. 304. 
Milton, S. Hants, 25th August 1892. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. rudis, Weihe. In small quantity, but very fine, near Woburn 
Sands, Bucks, 30th September, 1892. — New County Record. — E. F. 
Linton. Hen Wood, Berks, September, 1892. — G. C. Druce. 
New County Record. 
R. Newbouldii, Bab. Vales Wood, Ruyton XI Towns, Salop, 
17th and 24th September, 1892. This was named for me by Rev. 
W. Moyle Rogers, who had it from the neighbouring county of 
Cheshire. It was in plenty in the wood, and was a new and distinct 
form to me. — E. F. Linton. 
R.mutabilis, Genev. Witley Ponds, Surrey, 3rd September, 1890. 
— R. P. Murray. “ This is ‘ the Surrey plant ’ referred to under R. 
7 nuiabilis, Genev., in ‘ Journ. Bot.’ 1892, p. 336.” — W. M. Rogers. 
Also forma umbrosa^ Witley Ponds, Surrey, 12th Aug., 1891. — R. P. 
Murray. 
R. Lejeimei, Weihe. The Hobbie, Clovelly, N. Devon, 29th July, 
1892. — J. W. White. “No doubt the plant referred to by Dr. Focke 
in ‘Journ. Bot.’ 1890, p. 132, as “a very hairy var.” of R. Lejeunei. 
It however appears to me absolutely identical with the “W. Rhenanus 
P. J. Muell. ” iyR. thyrsiger^ Bab. prius) of the Plymouth neighbourhood, 
and considerably different from the “W. LejeuneV^ which Mr. Briggs 
and Dr. Focke brought me from S. Devon in 1889.”^ — W. M. Rogers. 
R. adorfia^us, P. J. Muell. Sutton Holms, Dorset, September, 
1891. — R. P. Murray. 
R. Koehleri^ Weihe, var. hirsuius, W. M. Rogers. Witley 
(Barnacles Common), Surrey, September, 1890. — R. P. Murray. 
R. fusco-ater, Weihe, fide Dr. Focke. Near Shirley, S. Derbyshire, 
September, 1892. — W. R. Linton. “If this is the ordinary ‘English 
fusco-ater ’ (and the only point in which the specimens seem to differ 
from the description in ‘ Bab. Man.,’ Ed. 8, is the narrower Its. not 
‘ all imbricate ’), then R. badius, Focke, is probably still unknown here, 
as that (v. ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1892, p. 341) has ‘ st. sparsely hairy ’ and 
‘ stalks of Its. shorter.’ It is evident, judging from all the fusco-atcr 
descriptions (‘broadly cordate’ Babington ; ‘broadly elliptic or 
orbicular ’ Focke), as well as from the plate in ‘ Rubi. Germ.’ that the 
Its. in Mr. Linton’s plant are exceptionally narrow. In toothing they 
come nearer to the “ irregularly or rather doubly dentate ” of ‘ Bab. 
Man.’ than to Focke’s “rather evenly and finely serrate.” Focke now
