REPORT FOR I905. (21) 
Lotus tenuis, Kit. Pengam Moors, Cardiff, v.-c. 41, Gla- 
morgan, 29th June 1905. New to the county. Growing on alluvial 
soil close to the sea. — H. J. Riddelsdell. “Yes.” — Ar. 
Bennett. 
Astragalus danicus, Retz. Near Burford, Oxon, June 1905. 
I was quite afraid the plant was extinct in Oxfordshire, as Baxter’s 
locality for it ha,d been destroyed, and it was doubtful if the one 
mentioned by Lightfoot on Burford Downs (which are now en- 
closed and under tillage) was really in the county. Lady Margaret 
Watney, while motoring along the road from Burford to Cirencester, 
saw this plant by the roadside on the Gloucestershire side, and 
eventually found it within the Oxford boundary, whence these 
specimens came. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Spircca Ulmaria, L., var. denudata, Boenn. Roadside ditch, 
Bransford, v.-c. 37, Worcester, 14th July 1905. Although not un- 
common in this distrfct it is seldom that one finds a mass of it 
extending 50 yards as in this instance. The plant is easily 
distinguishable by its rougher and firmer appearance. — S. H. 
Bickham. 
Rubus. Note. — All the sets contributed by Rev. Augustin 
Ley have been (unless expressly stated) seen and passed by Rev. 
W. M. Rogers. 
Rubus suberectus, Anders. In damp clay along a track through 
open woodland in St. Leonard’s Forest, W. Sussex, 30th July 1905. 
I believe this to be the only known locality for the plant in the 
county. — J as. W. White. 
R, plicatus, W. and N., var. hemistemon, P. J. Muell. Edge of 
a bog in Lyonshall Park, Herefordshire, 17th August 1905. — S. H. 
Bickham. “ Most characteristic specimens of the R. hemistemon of 
‘ Lon. Cat.,’ ed. ix. and of my ‘ Handbook,’ as understood by me.” — 
W. Moyle Rogers. Rev. Aug. Ley sends also a set of like 
specimens gathered at the same time and place. He remarks : — 
“ Examples of this plant gathered by me three years ago were 
passed without hesitation by Mr. Rogers. At a later date, however, 
his verdict was ‘approaching hemistemon' As I am clear that 
both sets were gathered from the same bush, I suppose the con- 
clusion is that the characters vary somewhat from year to year.” — 
Aug. Ley. 
R. incurvatus, Bab' Pennsylvania, Cheshire, 12th Aug. 1905. 
Passed by W. M. R.— A. H. Wolley-Dod.
