220 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Rubus . Senni Valley, Brecon, 7 th August 1906. Re- 
ferred to Rev. W. M. Rogers, this bramble was pronounced by him 
be either hiriiis, W. and K., or hystrix, W. and N. : later, the 
preference was assigned to hystrix,/. — Augustin Ley. “ ‘ Between 
hirtus and hystrix ’ on the labels.” — W. R. L. 
R. minutiflorus , P. J. M. Bigwood, \Vhitfield, Herefordshire, 
25th August 1906. An enormous and very handsome plant, which 
I have known for some years, but to which I have been unable to 
assign a name until it was settled as above by Rev. W. M. Rogers in 
1904. — Augustin Ley and S. H. Bickham. “Yes, this agrees 
admirably with the plant (Highlands, Mereworth, W. Kent) referred 
to at the foot of p. 89 of my Handbook, as having been named 
’’ R. minutiflorus, P. J. Muell (non Lange!)’ by Dr. Focke in 
1896 ; and I can detect no real difference between them and 
a rather weaker spec, of Wirtgen’s now in my herb.” — W. Moyle 
Rogers. “ Yes.” — A. Ley. 
% 
R. hirtus, W. and K. Bigwood, Whitfield, Herefordshire, 
24th August 1906. Rev. W. M. Rogers said that this might be 
taken for typical hirtus, if any type of the species could be 
allowed. — Augustin Ley and S. H. Bickham. “ Certainly not 
rubiginosus, which is much more strongly armed and less hairy, and 
has an ovate gradually accum. term. It. with coarser and partly 
patent teeth. Its best place, I think, is under aggregate 
R. hirtus, though hardly very near to the type, of which, however, 
I still have only a hazy idea.” — W. M. Rogers. “ Yes.” — 
A. Ley. 
R. hirtus, M. and K., . /laccidifolius (P. J. M.)-. Suff Wood, 
Knowle Hill, Herefordshire, 37th July 1906. “This plant must go 
under R. hirtus, M. and K., and comes nearest to R. flaccid if oiius, 
P. J. M., differing from it chiefly in the (often) shorter leaves with 
more cordate base, and less long accurnination; still the leaves in the 
Suff Wood plant vary considerably, some being very short, almost lo- 
bate, others just as in the Woburn flaccidif oiius." — A. Ley and S. H. 
Bickham. “ Most probably correct, I think, though the Beds and 
Bucks plant, for which Dr. Focke has suggested the name, has much 
larger and more oval leaflets and a narrower and more pyramidal 
panicle.” — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. ccEsius X corylif oiius. Between Stirtloe and Buckden, 
Hunts, 30th July 1906. The history of this bramble will be found 
in B. E. C. Rep. for 1886, p. 152 top, for 1887, p. 177. — W. R. 
Linton. Why not one of the stronger forms of A. cccsius, or (if you 
think that unlikely) a cmsian hybrid with ccesius as the predominant 
parent? It seems quite barren. I do not know R. nemorosus,
