is somewhat
different. It happened that a continental botanist found hairy
anthers in the flowers of the first English specimen of II. mucronatm
he ever examined. This observation was sufficient for him to
think a German plant, determined by me as /?. mucronatns, might
be different, and must receive a new name ; therefore he called it
Pi. atrichauthenis, or " bramble with hairless anthers." If we were
to adopt this view nearly all our English R. mucronatns would have
to be considered as R. atrichantherus. From this example we can
learn how to make new species.

33. E. EADULA W.—Frequent around Bournemouth. The plant
growing in this part of England is somewhat different in general

as a well-marked variety. Further, I have seen R. radula near
Plymouth.
