REPORT FOR I 894* 
Rubus lasioclados, Focke ? Rough meadow, Belmont, Hereford- 
shire, July, 1894. — Augustin Ley. “Surely nearer to R.pubesccns and 
R. argentahcs^ than to R. lasciodadosP — W. M. Rogers, “i?. argent- 
atus^ P. J. Muell.” — Dr. Focke. 
R. rusticanus, Merc. Great Orme’s Head, N. Wales, August, 1894 
Is this Leighton’s var. b. as described on page 104 of Babington’s 
‘Rubi’? — J. A. Wheldon. “I am sorry to be unable to answer 
Mr. Wheldon’s question. This is certainly a common form of R. 
rusiicanusP — W. M. Rogers. 
R. rusticanus x corylifolms. The Wyck Valley, West Gloucester- 
shire, 24th Sept., 1894. 'I'here seems to be little doubt about this 
determination. The hybrid occurs in quantity. — Jas. W. White. 
“Yes.” — W. M. Rogers. 
R. pubescens, W., variety. Caplar, Plerefordshire, July and Sep- 
tember, 1894. This is the plant referred by Prof. Babington, and 
afterwards by Dr. Focke, to W, thyrsoideus, Wimm. See ‘ Report,’ 
pp. 250, 328. Dr. Focke was with me this year, and having inspected 
a series of this plant in my herbarium, pronounced emphatically that 
it was not R. thyrsoideus, Wimm. — ^ Augustin Ley. “I should so name 
it. A very handsome form, coming in between the German pubescens 
and my var. subinermisd- — ^W. M. Rogers. 
R. pubesans, W. var. subinermis^ Rogers. Woods, Hope Mansel 
parish, Herefordshire, 22nd June, 1893. I am sorry not to be able 
this year to send more of this, which is an abundant and beautiful 
plant in certain woods in Hope Mansel and neighbouring parishes. 
It has been seen by Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, and pronounced by him 
to be his var. subinermis of R. pubescens. — Augustin Ley. 
R. Quesiierii, P. J. Muell. This plant is extremely abundant in 
many of the woods near Bailey Gate, in S.E. Dorset. Until very 
lately, we have treated it as a variety of R. erythrinus, Genev., under 
which name it has unfortunately been occasionally distributed. Last 
summer I had the pleasure of showing it in the living state to Dr. 
Focke, who has since written to me : “ Your “ Rubus erythrinus ” 
from Dullar Wood is R. Questierii, P. J. Muell; it agrees exactly with 
my numerous specimens from different parts of western France. Leaves 
green on both sides, leaflets tapering into a long point, a loose, generally 
leafy panicle ; grey felted sepals, which are not common in brambles 
whose leaves are all green beneath. The panicle bears a few glandular 
setae, which are seldom wanting in this species. The Rubus Questierii 
is a very constant form, so far as it can be seen from dried specimens, 
and as Genevier asserts.” — R. P. Murray. Clearly the same plant as 
is represented in my herbarium by French specimans labelled R. 
Questierii by their collector, the late Prof. Clavaud. — W. M. Rogers. 
R. iiirtifolius, Mull, and Wirtg. Woods, Ludford, Herefordshire, 
6th September, 1894. Dried specimens of this plant were pronounced 
by Dr. Focke, in 1892, to be R. hirtifolius, M. and W. It was 
gathered this year by me in company with Rev. W. M. Rogers, who, 
after seeing the growing plant, pronounced it to differ from the R.
