mens of R. Griffithianus^ I believe his decision to be nearer the fact. 
This, if really identical with the Dorset plant named R. praruptorum^ 
BouL, should be an interesting additional record. It is abundant at 
Upper Sapey Common in woods and hedges, in company with the 
plant called below R. dumetoriwi^ W., van triangularis ; and, as the 
locality is close to the borders of Worcestershire, it should be found 
also in that county. — Augustin Ley. 
Rubus scaber, W. and N. Woods, Whitfield, Herefordshii'e, 28th 
August 1899. Passed in 1899 by Rev. W. M. Rogers. — Augustin 
Ley. 
R. obscurus, Kalt. Belmont Wood, Hereford, 25th August 1900. 
A few fruiting specimens sent from the locality from which the ‘Sets 
of British Rubi’ were supplied. It will be observed that they exhibit 
a good deal of uncertainty in the directmi of the fruiting sepals. — - 
Augustin Ley. “ Identical with the Irish plant which Dn Focke 
named for me as a typical obscurus. One of our most beautiful 
brambles when in flower, and (to my mind) among the best-marked 
glandular forms, though now reduced by Mr. Rogers to a subspecies 
under R.fuscus.” — Ed. 
R. rosaceus, W. and N., var. Purchasianus, Rogers. Woods, Great 
Doward, Herefordshire, 22nd August 1901. This is the variety or 
state ot Purchasianus mentioned in ‘Herefordshire RubV (see ‘Journ. 
Bot.,’ vol. 34, 1896, p. 220) as ‘forma pseudo-hirta.’ It grows usually 
in company with the type ; but its characters, so far as they go, seem 
to be constant, and I do not think that it is a hybrid. — Augustin 
Ley. “Now reckoned as a subspecies of rosaceus.” — Ed. 
R. rosaceus, var., near infeamdus, Rogers. Open wood near Altcar, 
v.-c. 59, South Lancashire, 6th July 1901. — J. A. Wheldon. “Yes; 
R. rosaceus, W. and N., aggreg. I believe the subsp. infecundus, 
though not looking quite typical for that.” — W. M, Rogers. 
R. Koehleri, Wh. and N., subsp. dasyphyllus, Rogers, Heaton, 
Bolton, South Lancashire, July 26th, 1901. Record for v.-c. 59. Coll. 
W. M OSS ; comm. W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. Koehleri, var. cognatus (N. E. Br.). Trilloescourt Wood, 
Bolston, Herefordshire, 24th August 1901. This form, which is 
abundant through a great part of Herefordshire, differs apparently but 
slightly from the type. The armature varies greatly in amount. It is 
predominately a woodland plant in Herefordshire. — Augustin Ley. 
“In W. Surrey, cog?iatus is not unfrequent in hedges, and even on 
open heaths, but seldom far away from woods ; I have always thought 
it a rather well-marked and easily recognisable plant.” — Ed. 
R. dinnetorum, W. and N., vax.ferox, Weihe. Walton Junction, 
v.-c. 59, S. Lancashire, August 1901 — J. A. Wheldon. “Yes, 
R. du77ietorum ; I suppose, weak ferox.” — W. M. Rogers. “ Should 
not the ’•d,. ferox’’ of ‘ Lond. Cat.,’ ed. ix., stand as the type? ” — Ed.
