446 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
of Drummore, in the same county, and nearly opposite the original 
station. It grew in compact masses a foot or two across ; the 
leaves were firm in texture, often glaucous and smaller than the 
type, the flowers were in sul)-rapitate racemes of larger and darker 
coloured flowers. I am trying to grow it to see if the characters 
persist. -A.ug., 1909. It occurred also on the Kirkcudbrightshire 
coast. — G. C. Druce. Cultivation should prove whether this is a 
true variety. At present I incline to consider it only a starved state ; 
a very similar form occurs on the exposed coast near Minehead, 
S. Somerset, whereas in more sheltered places it is quite normal. — 
E. S. Marshall. 
Vida sepium, Linn., var. ochroleuca, Bast. Near the Gas 
Works, Broadway, Worcestershire, v.-c. 37, July 14 and 21, 1909. 
I presume this is the variety included in Druce’s ‘ List’ under No. 
688L There were several roots growing with the type, but the 
flowering examples were few. The flowers were full primrose- 
colour, shading off into bright orange. — Charles Bailey. Correct. 
— G. C. Druce. 
Vida melanops, Sibth and Sm. Rubble ground, near Ledbury, 
Hereford, v.-c. 36, April 30, 1909. — S. H. Bickham. From 
Eastern Europe. — G. C. Druce. 
Rubus suberectus^ Anders., form? Bushy margin of Lake 
Castlewellan, Co. Down, Sept. 17, 1894. — Coll. S. A. Stewart. 
Comm. C. H. \Vaddell. 'I'his gathering was prepared for the Club 
by Mr. Stewart but not sent. The plant grows close to a thicket of 
K. idaeus near the lake. R. suberectus has not been found for 
many years in N.E. Ireland, but this was so named by Fockc. 
It does not seem typical. — C. H. Waudeli,. I see nothing to 
separate this from R. suberectus^ Anders. — W. M. Rogers. 
Rubus plicatus^ Wh. and N., /. umbrosa (or subumbrosa). 
Wood near Whitchurch, Glam., v.-c. 41, Aug. 3, 1909. Fide 
W. M. Rogers, who adds : ‘ Most beautiful material, but I believe 
distinctly nearer to type plicatus (just as one gets it in semi- 
shade) than to var. Bertramii' Basal 1 ft. distinctly stalked. — H. J. 
Riddelsdell. 
R. robustus x rusticanus. Tumbledown Hill, Glam., v.-c. 41, 
about five miles from Cardiff towards Cowbridge, Aug. 6, 1909. — 
H. J. Riddelsdelt,. FI. pale red, i.e. intermediate. Sep. rising. 
Barren. Whole plant showing two-fold influence. Your suggestion 
must be right, I should think. It seems, as you say, just inter- 
mediate and quite barren. — W. M. Rogers. 
Rubus iricus, Rogers. Goonhaven, \\’est Cornwall, v.-c. i, 
August, 1909. Coll. W. Tresidder. I would like to call attention
