334 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
pink or rose of the petals of R. leucostachys , Sm. (vestitus), which may 
well have grown in a wood near at hand. — E. F. Linton. 
Any Rubus not here commented on, it will be taken as understood 
that the material was insufficient to make any note upon ; this will 
explain why some names sent are passed by. Dr. Focke observed 
on the specimens sent to him, “ they are all very difficult to even 
suggest a name for, and there is only one I confidently name.” The 
Revd. Moyle Rogers saw a specimen of every one of the species, &c., 
sent, and to many both Dr. Focke, and himself were even unable 
to give a name. 
Potentilla mixta , Nolte ? Railway bank, Pandy, Monmouth, 
22nd August, 1891 . — Augustin Ley. These specimens seem to 
accord fairly w r ell with Swedish specimens named as the mixta of 
Nolte! Prahl : ‘ Kritische Flora Sch.-Holstein,’ p. 89 (1890) calls 
this “ f. mixta” and gives as a synonym P. procumbenti x repta?is , G. 
F. W. Meyer, ‘ FI. Hanov. exur. ’178 (1849). The leaves on the same 
specimen seem to be quinate or ternate ! 
P. palustris , Scop., var. villosa , Lehm. ‘ Mon. Potent.,’ p. 53. 
Near Ty Croes, Anglesey, July, 1891. — j. E. Griffith. Mr. Griffith 
named this on my authority ; the plant may not quite be that of 
Lehmann, but I have not been able to see a specimen from him ; 
usually it is smaller. Gray ‘Nat. Arr.’ 1821, p. 581, has a var. 
b. villosa , a year after Lehmann published his monograph. It seems 
to have been known to Ray (‘Syn.’ 256), and Smith (‘Eng. FI.,’ vol. 2, 
p. 434) notes it, but as “a trifling variety.” Davies’ ‘Welsh Botan- 
ology,’ p. 52 (1813) says : “It varies with a silvery, downy leaf.” 
Alchemilla conjuncta , Bab. Cult, specimen, Hort. Croydon, 1890. 
— Arthur Bennett. I have grown this plant for some years, 
along with A. alpma ; the latter seeds (with me) less freely than 
conjimcta, which (self-sown) comes up in great numbers. It may be 
of interest to quote what M. Buser writes me, accompanying specimens 
from the Candollean Herbarium from “ Mt. Reculet, near Geneva 
(Depart, de l’Ain), pasture grounds above the dales of Thorig, 24th 
August, 1887, by R. Buser.” He gives the following synonymy, 
‘ Alchemilla argentea , Don, MS. et apud Trevelyan: ‘ on the veg. 
and temp, of Faroe plants,’ 1837, non Lamk. A. alpma, var. b. 
podophylla , Tausch in ‘Flora,’ 1841. A. conjuncta , Bab (1842), 
recognised by Bab. in litt. ! A. alpina , var. b. Godet, Jura — ‘ Reut. 
Geneve,’ ed. 2, p. 74. A. alpina , var. b. Godeti. ‘ Ducommun 
Taschenbuch, d. Schvv. Bot.’ Its European distribution is treated 
on by Mr. Matthews in ‘Journal of Botany,’ p. 91, 1881. So lately 
as 1888 it is not mentioned by M. Camus in his ‘ Cat. pi. France, 
Suisse, et Belgique,’ p. 100. It is not the same as A. pyrenaica , 
Duf. = A. jissa , Schummel ! as supposed by some authors. 
Rosa tomentosa , Sm. var. scabriuscula , Sm. Brailsford, near 
Manshull Park, near Shirley, South Derbyshire, 16th September, 
1891. — W. R. Linton. “I should call this typical tomentosa , not 
scabriusculaP — J. G. Baker. 
R. tomentosa, var. Leaflets simply serrate and without glands.
