Rubus fhyrsoideus, W. and N. Daventry, Northants, September 
1898.— G. C. Druce. “Probably.”— W. M. R. 
R. Salteri, Bab. Winforton Wood, Herefordshire, ist August 
1898. — W. M. Rogers. 
R. hirtifolius, Muell. and Wirtg. Stapleton Wood, Herefordshire, 
19th July; in Breconshire, at Builth Wells and by the River Yrfon at 
its junction with the River Wye, 9th August; by the River Wye, above 
Builth, 13th August; Yrfon Valley, near Builth, 15th August; wood 
near Maesmynis, Builth, i8th August; in Radnorshire, at Newbridge- 
on-Wye, i6th August; Aberedw Rocks, 15th August; all in 1898. — 
W. Moyle Rogers. “A common form in the Upper Wye Valley, in 
both counties, with rather narrow, acuminate leaflets, narrow, faintly- 
pinkish petals, erect fruit sepals, and fruit becoming remarkably 
oblong.” — W. M. R. 
R. leucostachys^ Schleich. Silverdale, W. Lancashire, 27th July 
1898.— J. A. Wheldon. “Yes.”— W. M. R. 
R. Drejeri^ G. Jensen. Dunster, Somerset, July 1893. — R. P. 
Murray. “ This species occurs locally over a large area in W. Somer- 
set, but exhibits a considerable range of variation. The specimens 
sent seem to be quite typical; at least, they exactly match the plant sent 
out by Messrs. Friderichsen and Gelert in their ‘ Rubi exsiccati Danice 
et Slesvigice’’ (Fasc. ii., 43). I have never seen this precise form 
anywhere but in one locality about a mile from Dunster, but there it is 
abundant for perhaps a couple of hundred yards. We are indebted 
to Mr. Gelert for the identification, which was unfortunately made too 
late to allow of the inclusion of the species in the ‘Set of British 
Rubi.’ ”— R. P. M. “ I concur.”— W. M. R. 
R. Borreri^ Bell-Salt, var. virgiiltorum, Ley. Nedge Hill, Shifnal, 
Salop, July 1898. — W. H. Painter. “I think this plant is identical 
with that sent last year from Bishop’s Castle ; see ‘ Report’ for 1897, 
p. 544.’-W. H. P. “ Yes, this is Mr. Ley’s var. virgulforum^ some- 
what intermediate between R. Borreri and R. infestus, though, on the 
whole, probably nearer to the latter.” — W. M. R. 
R. radula, Weihe, var. aiiglicanus, Rogers. Blackdown, near 
Uckfield, E. Sussex, July and August 1896. — E. H. Farr. “Yes, 
but perhaps in stem one step nearer to typical R. radula than the 
average S. W. England angUcanusB — W. M. R. 
R. regillus, A. Ley. Linton Wood, Herefordshire, 6th September 
i;gQg_ — Augustin Ley. “This is the station from which the plant 
was described (‘Journal of Botany,’ 1896, p. 217). It is thought that 
a few fruiting specimens would be acceptable to members.” —A. L. 
»Yes.”— AV. M. R. 
R. Newbouldii, Bab. Walton, S. Lancashire, July 1898. — J. A. 
Wheldon. “Yes, this is the plant, frequent in N. W. England, 
which I am calling R. Ne^vbouldii, Bab.” — W. M. R.
