REPORT FOR 1905. 
(27) 
R. pilosus, W. and N. Stream-bank, Lyonshall Park, Here- 
fordshire, 17th August 1905. — S. H. Bickham and A. Ley. “I 
suppose rightly named, but if so it seems to come (with the stems 
so nearly bald as here) too near to var. diversifolius to be a very 
satisfactory variety. I have more characteristic specimens collected 
under Mr. Ley’s guidance in the same locality.” — W. M. R. “I 
have hesitated to identify this with the plant described as R. pilosus^ 
W. and N., by Mr. Warren in ‘ Journ Bot.,’ 1870, p. 172, on 
account of its armature, which can hardly be said to resemble 
that of R. diversifolitts. The stem of the present plant is more 
hairy than any British examples of R. dumetorum, W. and N., 
which I have seen, but the amount of hair differs much on the 
same stem.” — Augustin Ley. 
R. dumetoruniy W. and N., var. radulifortnis, A. Ley. Woods 
near Rudry and Lisvane, Glamorgan, June 1905. Open lane 
side near Rhosgoch Org, Radnor, 29th August 1905. This variety 
is proving well marked and widely spread. Besides the above 
localities, both giving fresh county records for the plant, I have 
picked it this year also in Herefordshire, at several stations, and 
at Cheddar, Somerset. — Augustin Ley. 
R. BucJmalli, J. W. White (‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1899, p. 389). 
Hedges, open woodland, &c., at an elevation of over 600 ft. on 
oolitic hills to the North of Wotton-under-Edge, West Gloucester- 
shire, July 1905. The range of this bramble is more extensive 
than I thought. This summer I found an abundance of strong 
plants along the grassy road-side waste towards Nailsworth.— J. W. 
White. 
Potentilla silvesiris, Neck. {P. Tormaitilla, Sibth.) var. sciaphila, 
Zim. Wheal Gifford Down, Gwennap, West Cornwall, 14th Oct. 
1905, F. H. Davey and C. C. Vigurs, and Fraddon Down, St. 
Enoder, East Cornwall, 20th Oct. 1905. An interesting plant, named 
by Mr. Ar. Bennett. It appears to have been only previously 
found on “ some heathy hills of the rolled pebbles of the Thanet 
sands.” The radical leaves are small, nearly orbicular, of three 
or four broadly wedge-shaped leaflets, and the whole plant is more 
compact than the type. — C. C. Vigurs. 
Alchemilla vulgaris^ L., var. filicaulis, Buser. Meadow, Scrap- 
toft, Leics., nth June 1905.— A. R. Horwood. “Rightly named.” 
E. F. Linton. “ Correct. Though it is usually a small plant, 
I have seen jilicaulis still more robust than this.” — Edw. S. Mar- 
shall. “ Buser described it as a species.” — G. C. Druce. 
Rosa tomentosa, Sm. var. Ham Common, Surrey, 8th July 
1905. This seems to me to be unusually silky-pubescent, and
