REPORT FOR 1903. 
Rubus carknsis, Rip. and Gen., near S. David’s, Pemb., 
August 1903. — Augustin Ley. Yes. — W, Moyle Rogers. 
Rubus durescens, W. R. Lint. Previous to 1902 this interest- 
ing bramble was known only from Mid-Derbyshire, but last year 
the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers discovered two or three bushes on some 
rough waste ground near Loun, Leicestershire. This summer 
I found it occurring somewhat plentifully in two other widely 
separated localities. It keeps remarkably distinct. Lane near 
Pockington, Leicester, August 9, 1903. — A. B. Jackson. Yes. — 
W. M. Rogers-. 
Rubus sciaphilus, Lange. Grwyne valley, Brecon, 13 August 
i 9 ° 3 - — Augustin Ley. Yes. — \V. Moyle Rogers. 
Rubus argcntaius, var. robustus (P. J. Muell.). Saintfield, 
Co. Down, 31 August 1903. — C. H. Waddell. I think best 
under robustus, though differing from our usual British form 
by the shorter falcate prickles and the leaflets more narrowed 
to their base, and rather more evenly toothed. — W. Moyle 
Rogers. 
Rubus subi?iennis, Rogers. S. Briavel’s, West Gloucester., 23 
Sept. 1903.— Augustin Ley. Yes, forma umbrosa. — W. Moyle 
Rogers. 
Rubus thyrsoideus, Wimm. Fairmile Common, Surrey, to July 
1903. Mr. Rogers says: ‘I think certainly R. thyrsoideus, sp. 
coll, but I have nothing exactly matching it, the leaves especially 
being peculiar in their imbricate, shallow-toothed, short-pointed 
leaflets. A specimen of Gelert’s, labelled R. fragrans, Focke, 
from Y’estphaha, comes nearest to it, though in that the leaflets 
are neither imbricate nor so finely toothed as in this. But the 
species is a very aggregate one. This plant is abundant on 
Walton Common, and 1 have seen it near Fairmile. It is conspi- 
cuous by its long wand-like barren shoots, which reach erectly 
considerably above the bushes ; also by its very white flowers 
and very white felted leaves, on rather flaccid petioles, so as 
to be easily turned over by the wind, showing the conspicuous 
white under surface. It is very constant in its characters in these 
stations, and is always easily recognised. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
A beautiful form of this very aggregate species, with leaflets less 
incised and more parallel-sided and short-pointed than usual. — W. 
Moyle Rogers. 
Rubus silvaticus, W. and N. Valley above Lower Wych, 
Cheshire, 5 Augu.st 1903 — A. H. Wolley-Dod. New record for 
v.c. 58, Cheshire. — Passed by W. Moyle Rogers. 
Rubus macrophylloides, Genev. S. Briavel’s, W. Gloucester., 23 
Sept. 1903. — Augustin Ley. Just R. macrophylloides, Genev., as
