These and many other varieties (for it appears almost impossible to find real specific distinctions in 
many of the reputed species of this most intricate genus,) may be met with in the more uncultivated 
districts of the county ; and to any one possessing the hair-splitting propensities of the German Botanists, 
will be a source of much amusement and no small degree of perplexity. The writer of this note, during 
the summer of 1837, and in a district peculiarly favourable to the pursuit, paid much attention to them, 
without being able to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion ; his observations, however, led to an opinion 
not only that they hybridise, but that soil and situation have considerable effect in producing much 
variation of pubescence on the flower stem, and calyx, — and that the form of the leaves is frequently 
influenced by similar circumstances. These remarks are not to be understood as applying to R, idaeus, 
caesius, saxatilis, or chamaemorus.

The flowers of the Bramble are particularly attractive to insects, and yield an abundant harvest to the 
Entomologist.
