442 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
hirtifolius of the Plymouth neighbourhood. It is an abundant plant 
in the Ludlow neighbourhood, extending into Shropshire ; and I have 
gathered it in several Welsh counties, — Augustin Ley. 
Rubus Menkei, W, et N, Pen Selwood, Somerset, 14th July, 1894. 
I think it quite possible that this may be rightly referred to R. Menkei. 
It agrees very well on the whole with the brief description given by 
Dr. Focke in his ‘ Synopsis Ruborum Germanite,’ p. 303, while he has 
twice said of it “ very near R. Menkei^^ adding on one occasion, “ it 
may be the true plant.” Beyond this however, he would not go. I 
found the plant fruiting abundantly over a few yards beside a country 
lane, but only in one spot. Dr. Focke considers it intermediate between 
R. leucostachys and R. Bellardi. — R. P. Murray. “ Looks curiously 
intermediate between R. Sprengelii and R. Bloxamii. I do not know 
R. Menkei. — W. M. Rogers. 
R. pyrafuidalis, Kalt. Backwell Hill, North Somerset, 7th Sept., 
1894. The Wyck Valley, West Gloucestershire, 28th Sept., 1894. 
Probably a new record. This bramble has lately been recognised in 
both divisions of the Bristol district. — Jas. W. White. “ Both rightly 
named, I think, though apparently receding from typical pyramidalis 
in the direction of R. leucostachys^ especially (like the form referred to 
in the 1893 ‘ Report,’ p. 407) in the densely hairy stem.” — W. M. 
Rogers. 
R. pyramidalis, Kalt.? Hedges, Walton, Lancashire, Sept., 1894. — 
J. A. Wheldon. “ R. leucostachys, Schleich.” — W. M. Rogers. 
R. leucostachys, Schleich., var. a?igustifolius, Rogers. Little Doward, 
Herefordshire, 26th July, 1894. This very well marked form is 
abundant in Herefordshire. I should say it is far too abundant and well 
marked to admit of being supposed to be a hybrid. — Augustin Lf:y. 
R. leucostachys, Schleich x villicaulis, v. Sel//ieri. Near Christ- 
church, S. Hants, 6th and i8th July, 1894. — F. A. Rogers for W. M. 
Rogers, and R. P. Murray. 
R. lasioclados, Focke, teste Dr. Focke. Paddlesworth Wood, E. 
Kent, ist August, 1894. — E. S. Marshall. 
R. curvidens. Ley. Wood, Sellack, Herefordshire, 31st July, 
1894. — Augustin Ley. 
R. ? mucronaius x Quedfierii. Copse, Lytchett Matravers, Dorset, 
26th July, 1894. — ^R. P. Murray. “An interesting hybrid, which 
has every appearance of being rightly named.” — W. M. Rogers. 
R. mucronatus, Blox. x R. radula, var. anglicanus, Rogers. Near 
Christchurch, S. Hants, 6th July, 1894. — F. A. Rogers for W. Moyle 
Rogers. The Rev. R. P. Murray sends specimens of the same 
plant collected in the same locality twelve days later, but on his labels 
the name R. rusticanus takes the place of R. mucronatus. We 
certainly saw both these species, together with R. Bloxamii and the 
var. anglicanus, growing in the immediate neighbourhood of the hybrid 
on July 1 8th ; but I think mucronatus the more likely parent. — W. M. 
Rogers.
