REPORT FOR 1902. 
41 
SO far as I have botanised. These specimens have not been seen by 
Rev. W. M. Rogers. N. B. — Unless otherwise stated, all the brambles 
I send have been submitted to Rev. W. M. Rogers. — Augustin Ley. 
Riibus /loleryihros, Focke, variety. Moorland ditches and plantation 
sides on Mitcheldean Meend, West Gloucester; altitude, about 830 feet; 
20th August 1902. This plant was seen in situ by Rev. W. M. Rogers 
in 1896. On taking these specimens to him in the present year, Mr. 
Rogers made the following remarks on them : “ On the whole, this 
plant is nearest to R. holerythros, Focke ; but receding towards R. 
latifolius, Bab., in the shape of the leaves. Panicle laxer than in 
typical R. holerythros^ and flowers smaller.” The stem in the growing 
plant is burnished ; petals pink. — Augustin Ley. 
R. affinis, W. & M. Very abundant on a common, Sarnesfield, 
Herefordshire, 13th August 1902. Very rare in Herefordshire, and 
previously to this year only a single bush had been known in the 
county. — Augustin Ley. 
R. Bakeri^ F. A. Lees. On high banks by the sea, Killough, 
Co. Down, 30th July 1902. — C. H. Waddell. “ Yes.”^ — W. M. R. 
R. Bakeri^ F. A. Lees. In great quantity on Barnes Common, 
Surrey, 20th August 1902. One of our most easily recognised 
brambles, and from its local abundance characteristic of several of the 
Surrey heaths and commons near London, as e.g.^ Wimbledon, Putney, 
Barnes, and Wandsworth. I have also seen it at Walton and Oxshott 
in the same county, and at Chislehurst Common, West Kent ; while I 
have herbarium specimens from Hayes Common, West Kent, and 
Ham Common, Surrey. Elsewhere in Great Britain (as in Ireland) it 
seems more thinly scattered. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. nemoralis, P. J. Muell. Branksome Park, Dorset, 8th Septem- 
ber 1902. In the case of this species some late-gathered pieces (such 
as I now send) are exceptionally desirable for the herbarium, as illus- 
trating the remarkable lengthening of the strongly-ascending lower 
panicle branches, so characteristic of R. nemoralis, in comparison with 
its near allies, R. piilcherrinius and R. rhanmifolius. — W. Moyle 
Rogers. 
R. pubescens, W., var. subiner? 7 iis, Rog. Cockshot and Hare- 
church Woods, Hope Mansel, Herefordshire, 20th August 1902. 
Very abundant in these and neighbouring woods for the distance of 
about one mile, and spreading into West Gloucester. —Augustin 
Ley. 
R. j7iacrophyllus^ W. and N. Stirchley, near Shifnal, Salop, 
August 1902. — W. H. Painter. “Belongs to aggregate macrophyllus, 
but goes to sub-sp. Schlechtaidalii, Weihe, rather than to the type.” — 
W. Moyle Rogers.
