April, 1891. history of the county botany of Worcester. 91 
and is explained by him in two papers in the “ Journal of 
Botany,” July and August, 1886, Yol. XXIV., pp. 216-223, 
and pp. 225-237. The nomenclature is almost revolutionised. 
I have done mv best to correlate Mr. Lees’s Rubi with the 
names of modern date, an almost impossible task, in which 
I have been kindly assisted by my friend, Mr. Bagnall. 
There are many notes in the “ Journal of Botany,” from 
which much information may be obtained. Among these 
may be particularly mentioned two papers by Dr. W. 0. 
Focke, in the numbers for April and May, 1890, Yol. XXVIII., 
pp. 97-103, and pp. 129-135. 
* Rubus Idaeus, L. 48. Throughout the county. 
* R. suberectus, Anders. 47. 
R. fissus, Lindl. Mentioned as a var. of suberectus only. 47. 
* R. plicatus, W. and N. 47. 
* R. affinis, W. and N. 47. 
[R. nitidus , TV. and N., and var. R. liamulosus, L. and 21 /., not 
recorded, but certain to be in Worcester .] 
* R. rhamnifolius, W. and N. 
* R. Lindleianus, Lees. 46. See Lees, Phyt., iii., 861. Bab. Br. 
Rubi, p. 75. 
* R. incurvatus, Bab. 47. Between Cowleigh Park and Worcester. 
R. thyrsoideus, Wimm. 46. Noiv known as R. pubescens, W. and 
N. See Bab., J. of B., Vol. XXIV., p. 220. 
* R. discolor, W. and N. 46. This familiar bramble must noio be 
known as R. rusticanus, Merc. See Bab. ante. R. discolor, TV. 
and N., is another form of Rubus. 
*+ R. argenteus, W. and N. 46. Not British. Br. Rubi, pp. 108, 
114.

conspicuus, P. J. Mull. 
f R. Grabowskii, Weihe. 44. Mentioned by Mr. Lees as a var. of 
leucostachys. Now R. montanus, Wirtg. ? 
R. calvatus, Bloxam, R. Salteri var. calvatus, Bab. 44, 45. 
First record. 
* R. carpinifolius, W. and N. 45. This name has been given to many 
forms of Rubus, and it is not certain that the plant so named by Mr. 
Lees is the R. carpinifolius of TV. and N. It is probable that Mr. 
Lees's plant is R. Maasii, Focke. 
* R. villicaulis, W. and N. 44. 
R. pampinosus, Lees, 44, is a form of the above. See Bab. Brit. 
Iiubi, p. 141.
