Rubus rudis, W. and N. Woods in the neighbourhood of 
Wadenhoe, Northants, July 1910. Generally distributed in the 
woods of this district. New county record? — Augustin Ley. 
Rubtis oigocladus, Muell. and Lefv., var. Bloxamianus (Golem.). 
Woods in the neighbourhood of Wadenhoe, Northants, July 1910.

Rubus pallidus, W. Westhide Wood, Herefordshire, August 
17, 1910. — Augustin Ley. 
Rubus viridis, Kalt. Geddington Chase, Northants, August i, 
1910. Very abundant in this place. New county record. — 
Augustin Ley. 
Rubus Bellardii, W. and N. Wakerley Wood, Northants, August 
8, 1910. New County record. — Augustin Ley. I recorded this 
species from Bedford Purlieus in the ‘Victoria County History’ for 
Northants some years ago, and from Wakerley in the ‘ Northampton 
Nat. Hist. Journ.’ — G. Claridge Druce. 
Rubus minutiflorus^ P* J- M!. Woods, near Stanford, Worcester, 
and Hereford, August 22, 1910. — Augustin Ley. 
Rubus? Stanford Park, Worcester, August 22, 1910. — 
Augustin Ley. I think this is a somewhat shade-grown form of 
my R. Griffithianus. — W. M. Rogers. This bramble has had 
various names assigned to it. It was sent from the same neighbour- 
hood to Dr. Focke in 1898, and was called by him R. Griffithianus, 
Rog. The Rev. W. M. Rogers at first agreed with Dr. Focke’s 
determination; but in 1901 was inclined to place it to the so-called 
R. prceruptorum, Boulay ? found in Dorset. This Dorset plant now 
appears (from a drawing of the continental praruptorum kindly 
communicated to me by M. Sudre), not to be prcBruptoruni, Boulay, 
nor is it the present plant. The Rev. W. M. Rogers on seeing the 
plant now sent again this year, attributed it with some confidence 
to R. Babingtonii, Bell. Salt., \-ax. phyllothyrsus, Frider; and to this 
I believe it to be much more nearly allied ; differing from it mainly 
in its strictly pyramidal, many-flowered panicle, and in the leaves 
more coarsely toothed, with terminal leaflet rounder. — Augustin 
Ley. 
Potentilla verna, L. Abundant in turf of limestone cliff's near 
Mewslade Bay, v.-c. 41, June 16 and 23, 1910. A very rare plant 
with us, and only recorded before from similar spots close at hand. 
When I first saw it in Gower some years ago, a leading botanist 
who was with me told me he had never gathered it before, a fact 
which suggests that some members of the Club may be glad of a
