differing especially in the thinner, greyer-felted leaves and the broader, 
more pyramidal, and more leafy panicle.” — W. M. R. 
Riibus Lindleianus^ Lees. I^ongridge, W. Lancashire, 6th July 
1898. — J. A. Wheldon. “This and a few succeeding species of Rubi 
are sent as voucher specimens for county records. ( Vide ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ 
1898, page 401.)” — J. A. W. “Yes.” — W. M. R. 
R. Near Builth, Breconshire, loth August 1898. — 
Augustin Ley. “Rev. W. Moyle Rogers’ comment on this bramble 
is : ‘ Nearer to R. durescens, W. R. Linton, than to any other British 
form.’ On comparison with R. durescens in the herbarium of Rev. W. 
R. Linton, this Breconshire bramble appears to differ both in the 
branching of the panicle, and in the softer texture of the underside of 
the leaf. In this remark the Rev. W. R. Linton and Rev. W. H. 
Purchas concur.” — A. L. “ I also concur.” — W. M. R. 
R. pulcherrimus^ Neum. Yealand, W. Lancashire, 27th July 
1898. — J. A. Wheldon. “Yes.” — W. M. R. 
R. pulcherrimus^ Neum., var. setosus, A. Ley? Fair Hazel, near 
Uckfield, E. Sussex, July and August 1896. — E. H. Farr. “These 
are not characteristic specimens of my R. cinerosus (see note p. 5 1 3 
of 1896 ‘Report’), but they probably belong to it.” — W. M. R. 
R. mercicus, Bagnall, var. bracteatus, Bagn. Near Longridge, W. 
Lancashire, 6th July 1898. — J. A. Wheldon. “ I must own to some 
difficulty here. Members who have specimens of Mr. Bagnall’s variety, 
collected by him in Warwickshire, or by Mr. Wheldon at Walton, vice- 
county 59 (issued by the Club in 1894), will see on comparison that 
these Longridge specimens are too intermediate in character between 
them and R. piilcherrimits to be satisfactory as representative of either. 
Perhaps the plant now sent may grow with typical bracteatus at Long- 
ridge. If not, I must have been hasty in so naming the specimen 
previously sent to me by Mr. Wheldon. See description in ‘ Journ. 
Bot.,’ 1894, 187, and the notes on p. 440 of the 1894 ‘Report.’” — 
W. M. R. 
R. villicaulis, Koehl. Common near Builth Road Railway Station, 
Radnorshire ; slopes by River Wye above Builth, and Llangorse Common, 
Breconshire, August 1898.— W. Moyle Rogers. “A rather small 
2 — 2 nate-leaYed form of the true typical R. villicaulis first described 
from Silesia, E. Germany, and common in Scotland (see ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 
1897, 45). Locally abundant and apparently frequent in the Upper 
Wye Valley.” — W. M. R. 
R. villicaulis, Koehl. Bank near Builth Road, Radnorshire, nth 
August 1898. — Augustin Ley. “Picked in company with Rev. W. 
Moyle Rogers, who assures me that this is the German type R. 
villicaulis, Koehl.” — A. L. “Yes.”— W. M. R.
