180 NOTES ON ENGLISH RUBI.
Scliott, which perhaps may be used in a more aggregate sense.
General in England.
Co7it. ilistrib. Germany (very local near the western frontier),
Netherlands (southern part), Belgium, France, S. W. Switzerland,
the whole of the Mediterranean region. It occurs in Madeira and
the Azores.
IV. Stems arcuate-prostrate, hearing equal or nearly equal pricJdes of
moderate size and patent dense hairs, hut generalhi ivithout
glandular sette, ichich occur, however, in many cases in the panicle.
19. E. siLVATicus W. et N. — Eemarkable by its frequent short
but rather strong prickles on the stem, quinate leaves green on
both sides, a dense panicle bearing very small prickles but no
glandular setae, white flowers and stamens longer than the styles.
Mr. Briggs showed me, near Plymouth, a bramble he supposed to
be li. siivaticus W. et N., and I think it agrees very well with that
species.
Cont. distrib. N. W. Germany.
20. R. MACROPHYLLUs W. ct N. — Stems usually very long and
thick, leaves and panicles often very large, the flowers, however, of
a moderate size and not conspicuous. Terminal leaflet longstalked,
cordate-ovate, gradually tapering into a long point. A
wood plant. I have seen it in Dorset (Branksome Chine, and
Daggons) and S. Devon (Fursdon, Egg Buckland). Mr. Briggs
knows it from different places near Plymouth.
Cont. distrib. Germany, Austria, W. Hungary, France. Near
the shores of the Baltic it occurs as far eastward as Kahlberg
between Kcenigsberg and Danzig. Professor Clavaud has sent me
the same plant from the neighbourhood of Bordeaux. Its area
therefore is a very large one.
21. R. MicANs Gren. et Godr. E. adscitus Genev. ; R. hypoleucus
Lefv. et Muell.—Frequent around Plymouth. Mr, I3riggs informs
me that he has seen it near Coiwall Heath, Isle of Wight.
Cont. distrib. France.
? B. Questierii P. J. Muell.—The leaves of this species are green
on both sides ; the sepals, however, and the peduncles are whitefelted.
This species is common in Western France, and it occurs
on the Isle of Jersey ; therefore it may be expected in Southern
England. Mr. Charles Bailey has kindly sent me a specimen
collected by him on the Charmouth Road near Lyme Regis, Dorset,
which very much recalls li. Questierii.
Cont. distrib. France.
22. R. RAMosus Blox. (?). — I have some doubts about the
identity of the well-known li. ramosus from Devonshire and the
original plant distinguished by Bloxam. With Mr. Briggs I saw
''ramosus'' at several places near Plymouth. It is cultivated at
Kew, but I do not remember under what name.
Cont. distrib. Unknown.
23. R. Sprkngelii W. 11. JJorreri Bell Salt. — I have not seen
