RECORDS OF HEREFORDSHIRE PLANTS ADDITIONALTO THOSE PUBLISHED IN THE FLORA OFHEREFORDSHIRE.By Rev. AUGUSTIN LEY.IT is with great pleasure that we find ourselves in a position to publish in theTmnsactions of the Woolhope Club some facts relating to the Flora of the Countyadditional to those brought together in the Flora of Herejordshi1·e. More thanfive years have elapsed since the publication of the Flom; and the anticipationsformed at the time of its publication that it would rather quicken than retardbotanical investigation in the County have been amply borne out by the fact thatafter five years we have 15 fresh species of Flowering Plants, 31 of Mosses, and 39of Fungi, making in all an addition of 85 species and well-marked varieties torecord for a county in which so much work had been previously done; besidesadditional facts and recards with regard to plants previously known and recordedas belonging to Herefordshire. Of the latter class of records, a large numberhave been made in the five years; and selections of these are here thought worthyof being transferred to the Transactions of the Woolhope Club to the number ofrather over 1,000.Among the groups of plants to which especial attention has been paid sincethe publication of the Flora, may be mentioned the Cinquefoils of the reptansTormentilla group; the Hybrids of the Willow-herb and Thistle genera, and theBurdocks. Some work, it is hoped, will be found to have been done in each ofthese groups of plants, and we here acknowledge with thanks the ready helpafforded by Rev. E. S. Marshall, M. A., F.L.S., in naming the first two of theseinteresting series of plants. The result is that Herefordshire has proved rich inthe Potentilla-hybrids ; all the forms hitherto known to Britain having beenfound in the County.The group to which the attention of Herefordshire botanists needs nowespecially to he directed is that of the Willow-hybrids, in which much good workhas been done since the publication of the Flom by Dr. F. Buchanan White,F.L.S., and by the Revs. W. and E. F. Linton, which has not yet been broughtto bear upon the Herefordshire Flora.One other critical genus remains for mention-Rubus-: and here theextension of knowledge in the past five years, both with regard to new forms,and those previously known to inhabit Herefordshire, is so great that we havebeen compelled to exclude the genus from this paper, and to leave it over forseparate treatment, which will not, it is hoped, be delayed for any great lengthof time.1

2Looking to special Districts of the County we have to thank Rev. T. S. Leafor a careful catalogue of Flowering Plants and Mosses of Tedstone Delamere,which has greatly extended our knowledge of the botany of the BromyardDistrict: Mr. Cecil Butler, for a short time resident at Dulas Court, for similarwork in his own neighbourhood, in the Golden Valley and Black MountainDistricts: Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. T. Powell for many records of Golden Valleyplants: Miss Raper for many of those inhabiting Col wall : and Rev. C. A. Binstead,M.A., for a very exhaustive catalogue of the Mosses of Eardisley and its neighbourhood,and for much other valuable help, which his practised eye and greatknowledge in this group of plants has enabled him to contribute. Lastly, our oldand staunch friend, Dr. M. C. Cooke, has gathered up and placed in our handsthe whole results of the five years' work in the Fungi of the County.Since 1889, a small but interesting manuscript has come into our possession(through the kindness of Miss E. Armitage) which is alluded to several times inthe Flora of Herefordshire under the title of" J. Lloyd, M.S.S." We have madeuse of this as often as opportunity served, in the following notes. It refers almostexclusively to the plants of the Bromyard District.The following paper has been divided into two parts; the first recording freshspecies and varieties which found no place in the Flm·a of Herefm·dshire:the second and longer portion recording fresh facts with regard to species orvarieties previously known to inhabit the County. Some of the latter class ofrecords will appear at first sight trivial; but it has not been thought well to omitrecords of even the most common species, when such records add a new botanica.IDistrict to the previously known distribution of the species in the County."On January 24th, 1870, died John Lloyd, gardener, in the 79th year of hisage-one of those characters who, without the least attempt at display or effect,could scarely help being noticed, known, and esteemed pretty extensively by menof his own profession and pursuits. His name and his character were best knownamong succulent plant growers, and Fern collectors. He had a wonderful successin cultivating both these tribes of interesting plants; and with regard to succulents,he certainly was gifted with a most extraordinary ability in distinguishingspecies-a quick and penetrating eye to catch at once the difference between onespecies and another; this was more especially observable in his knowledge ofAloes, Agaves, etc., and caused him to be known as the Richard Bradley of ourtimes. This peculiar talent, added to the strictest integrity and upright dealingin all transactions, caused him to be much valued by his employers; and when itwas found that his strength was failing, and that no adequate provision for hisdeclining years had been made, S"lveral of those who had benefited by his faithfulservices made up for him a small annuity to help him along in the close of hisearthly career. Although he had not the advantage of any great amount of earlyeducation, John Lloyd had made the most of all opportunities to acquire knowledgewherever it was to be got at, and the amount of general knowledge that bepossessed was SO!Jlething quite out of the common. This rendered him a valuable

In a poor hilly pasture, very rare. In a field near Labour-in-vainFarm, in Hope Manse! parish (2), in some quantity, 1892 and subsequent seasons;Miss E. Gee I I I It must remain uncertain for the present whether the plant canbe considered native at this station; there is nothing in the situation or circumstancesto preclude its being so.Pyrus intermedia, Ehrh.; Eng. Bot., ed. 3, Supp. p. 166.Native, in limestone woods, very rare. In the Lord's wood, Great Doward(2), 1882; Ley. Wood at Symond's Yat (2}, near the mouth of the tunnel, justwithin the county, 1894; L ey. The Doward specimens were referred by the lateDr. Boswell to P. A1·ia, Sm., variety; there can, however, I think, be no doubtthat they are P . intm·media, Eh?-h. Judging from Herefordshire, Gloucestershire,Monmouthshire and Breconshire specimens which I have gathered, there can,I think, be no doubt that P. intermedia is a native plant.Hieracium rubicundum, F. J. Hanb.; Jou1-n. Bot., 1892, p. 208.Native on mountain rocks, rare. On the Red Daren, Hattocel hills (14); Ley.H. sparsifolium, Lindeb.Native on mountain rocks, at one station only. In the Olchon Dingle,Hatterel hills (14); Ley. This plant is referred to in the Flora of Herefordshire,p. 526, where the name "H. gothicum, Fr." must be altered to the present.Erythrrea pulchella, Fr.Native, in poor pastures, and by roadsides; rare or very rare. First foundin 1889 by myself on a roadside near Dinmore (8}, and subsequently in profusionat the same station by Rev. W. H. Purchas and myself in 1891; and in a woodtrackin the same neighbourhood in 1892. In pastm·es on hill-sides above Du!as(13), 1892; pointed out to me by Mr. Cecil Butler.

5Lysimachia ciliata, L.Alien, of garden origin. Found by Rev. H. T. Williamson! on the riverbank at Bredwardine (13) in 1889. The station is, I believe, in proximity togardens, and the plant is doubtless an escape from cultivation.Littorella lacustris, L.Native, on the margin of moorland pools; very rare. Discovered in 1889 byDr. Wood! on Cusop Hill (14). Previonsly found by the same acute observer inthe same neighbourhood, but just within the Breconsh1re boundary.Chenopodium Vulvaria, L.Once found, and probably a Casual. Hop-yard, Col wall (4), 1889; Miss Raper.The hop-yard in which the plant grew was unfortunately destroyed in 1890, 11ndthe plant has not reappeared since.Rumex pulcher, L.Waste ground and poor pastures, very rare. Native, or introduced withseeds? In some plenty on waste ground near an outhouse, Foy (2), in August,1889 ; Ley. Probably introduced in this station ; still possibly a native plantwhich had escaped detection.Aristolochia Clematitis, L.Alien; the remains of cultivation? In one spot. Waste ground, in theproximity of gardens at Ross (2), 1891; Ley. Already (in 1892) the spot has beenbuilt over, and the plant, it is feared, destroyed.Salix undulata, EMh.Introduced, in osieries; ,·ery rare.(14), September, 1893; Ley.Osiery in an old brick-field, PontrilasNarthecium Ossifragum, Huds.Native, on moorlands; very rare. On the moorland of the Hatterel rangeof hills at the head of the Olchon Dingle (14), at about 2,000 ft. in small quantity,1889; D1·. Wood! This conspicuous and well-known plant must be extremelyrare upon the Black Mountain group of hills. It had been sought there in vainfor many years, until discovered by Dr. Wood.Luzula albida, D.C.Introduced, at two stations. In the grounds at Eywood, Titley (11), in turf;May, 1889, Dr. Wood I Sides of a railway-cutting near Titley Junction, in fairabundance, along with Luzula maxilna, D. G., and native grasses ; August, 1889,Purchas and Ley. These two stations lying within a mile of each other, it canhardly fail to suggest itself that the occurrence of this beautiful f'lreign Wood-rushat both in the same year is due to some common cause, but what such cause canbe is not clear. Dr. Wood informs me that there was nothing in the station atEywood to indicate intentional planting; while as an escape upon railway-sidesthe plant is very unusual.

6Oarex ourta, Good.Native, in bogs; very rare. ln a small bog near 'l'itley Junction (11), 1890;Ley. Two or three clumps only of this Sedge were seen; but the plant was fineand healthy, and there is no apparent danger of the plant being lost in the nearfuture through drainage.A vena fatua, L., var. b. inte•·media.Scattered through the county, and probably general ; but overlooked, andmuch less abundant than var. a. pilosissima. On several of the farms in Sellackparish (2) 1889 ; Moraston, Bridstow (2), 1886 ; L ey. Field, Cowleigh Park,North Malvern (4), 1893; near Storridge (5), 1886; L ey.

57RUBUS .I HAVE the concurrence of Rev. W. H. Purchas in attempting to deal withthis genus, as it is represented in H erefol'dshire, de novo, in prefel'ence to givingsimply the t•dditions which ha ve been made since the publication of the Flora.The abundant fresh material which has accrued, the new light which has beenthrown on many old forms, the changes in arrangement and nomenclature whichha,·e taken place since that date, have rendered this the only satisfactory methodof treating the subj ect. Moreo ver, the great richness of H erefordshire in theform s of bramble encourages a full treatment, and renders such a treatmentimperative on any H erefordshire naturalist who would do justice to the flora ofthe county.In 1894, Dr. Focke, the well known authority upon this genus, visitedEngland, and spent a few days in H erefordshire. His visit cleared up severalobscurities, and brought to light more than one fresh species in the co unty. \Vewish t o acknowledge the uniform readiness with which he placed his greatknowledge on all occasions at our service ; and not less that of the Rev. W.:i\'Ioyle R ogers ; without which indeed this part of our work could never lw.vebeen carried out.In working out the genus Rubus in Herefordshire, we have been compelled,in one or two cases, to adopt new names, and draw up new descl'iptions : but thishas ll1 no case been done without the plant in question having been studied for aseries of years, nor without exhausting all the a,vailable llleans of ascertainingwhether it had been previously named and described upon the Continent. '!.'hesame may be said of a Monmouthshn·e form, of which, though at present unknownin Herefordshire, we have taken this opportunity of publishing adescription.1. Rubus idreus, L.

Bertmmii, G. Braun, have convinced methat our Hereford>hire plant belongs to this rather than toR. nitid·us, W. & N.R. Bm·tramii differs from R. plicc!tus and agrees with R. nitidus in havingstalked basal leaflets and stamens longer than the styles. It differs from R.nitidus and agrees with R, plicatus in the finer toothing of the broader leaflets.It will probably prove to be pretty widely distributed in the British IsleE.

Is it poRsiblethat the plant, which begins to flower, late in June, with the short ascendingpanicle-branches characteristic of R. carpinifolius, may assume by the end ofJuly, and still more later in the season, a large, widely branched panicle which isvery misleading? The Lyons hall plant was recognised by Dr. Focke as R.carpinifolius. See Flora, p. 518 (under R. sulcc1tus). The Howle hill plant wascalled by the late Prof. Babington R. 1·ubicolor, and R. e1·ubescens; both whichnames are now excluded from the British lists.

Braun : and was sent out as such in Messrs. Rogers andLinton's Sets (No. 60): in 1894, however, on seeing the plant growing, Dr. l!'ockewithdrew the name.Di8tincti ve features are the curiously suberect habit and sepals recalling theSuberect group, in combination with a glandular panicle: and the graduallyacuminate leaflets, green on both sides.The plant above described occupies a large area of woodland (some threesquare miles) on Beacon hill, Monmouthshire. On the adjoining heath occurswhat seems to be a form of the same Bramble with leaves much more dee-ply cutand plicate, and with the glands of the panicle rachis fewer and subsessile.A hybrid also occurs on the heath between the last named plant and (probably)R.

70The R. hirtifolius of Herefordshire is a distinct plant from that of the Plymouthneighbourhood, which had until recently been thought the true plant of Muellerand Wirtgen. Subsequently Mueller and Wirtgen's name was found to havebeen erroneously given to the Plymouth plant; hence we have no hesitation inaccepting Dr. Focke's determination of our Herefordshire plant, as the R. hirtijolius,Muell and W1rtg.R. hirtijolius occurs in West Glo'ster (Mitcheldean Meend), Montgomery(near Llangurig), Radnor (near Llandrindod), Brecon (Llanwrtyd), and Carnarvonshire(Felin hien, near Bangor), and will probably be found to be widely distributedin the West of England.Found in Herefordshire as early as 1880; first notice as R. hirtifolius,Journal of Botany, 1895, p. 80.30. Rubus pyramidalis, Kalt. Flora, p. 91 (as R. villicaulis, W. & N.)The following should be added to the localities mentioned in the Fl01·a: -North. 9. Berrington wood; Ley.'fhe abundant Herefordshire bramble described in the Flom as R. villicaulis,W. & N. is not typical R. pyramidalis, Kalt., but a variety with longer panic!P,larger leaflets and a freer growth than usual. Typical R. pyl'alnidalis hardlyoccurs in Herefordshire, but was found at West Malvern by Rev. W. M. Rogers,whether in Herefordshire or Worcestershire, so far as the exact locality goes, doesnot appear.Varietas eglandulosa.Loo. East. 4. Abundant in Cowleigh Park, Malvern; Rogers, Ley.North. 12. Shirl wood, near Eardisland, in abundance; Ley.This is a handsome plant, strikingly different in aspect from ordinaryHerefordshire R. pymmidalis, and equally so from the type.31. Rubus leucoE~tachys, Schleich. Flom, p. 88.The account of tbis bramble in the Flom is fairly accurate as regards thedistribution of typical R. leucostachys in Herefordshire; but the plant therecalled var. b. vestitus is in the main our present R. a1·gentatus, P . J. Muell.With its great abundance, R.leucostachys also runs into innumerable abnormalforms in Herefordshire, the most remarkable of which are those in which the stemand rachis bear numerous acicles and stalked glands. These may possibly, afterfurther study, prove to deserve a varietal name. Such forms have occurred on arough bank near St. Woolstan's farm, Welsh Newton, (D. 1), and in the Frithwood, Ledbury (D. 4). Another curious form occurs about the base of May hill,above Longhope station, in which the fruiting sepals ascend and are clasping.Less worthy of note is the variety, rare in Herefordshire, (Whitecliffe wood, nearLudlow, D. 10), which bears handsome flowers with deep red petals and stamens( R. conspicuus, Auct.) It also varies often with white flowers in Herefordshire.Another variety with very large and exceedingly soft leaves, occurs in the LittleDoward hill (D. 2), and ab Troy, Monmouth.

Loehri, Wirtg. An inspection, however, of authenticcontinental specimens in the herbarium of Rev. W. M. Rogers, leaves no doubtthat our plant is identical with R. Loehri, Wirtg.This bramble crosses our boundaries into the vice·county of West Gloucestershireand is widely spread in the Forest of Dean, and in Newent wood. I am notaware that it has been as yet found in any other county. Its nearest alliance,among British brambles, seems to be with R. fuscus, W. & N., and R. pallidus,W. & N., especially perhaps with the latter. 'l'he very leafy stem, very denselyclothed with stalked glands; the thin texture of the shouldered ovate·acuminateleaflets, which are green on both sides, and have coarse toothing; and the short,broad panicle, much branched, with slender branches, are characteristic.Specimens of R. Loeh1·i, Wirtg., from Linton wood, Herefordshire, wereissued in Rogers' and Linton's sets (No. 18) under the name of R. fuscus, W. & N.HYBRID: Loeh?·i x fuscus, Bull's hill (2).54.

83Unknown hitherto in any other District of Here[ordshire, but crossingthe county boundary at Hope Manse! into the Lea Bailey plantations, WestGloucestershire.The plant above mentioned is named type Koehleri, W. & N., on the authorityof Dr. Focke, who saw it in situ in 1894, and pronounced it without hesitation tobe identical with the typical R. Koehleri of continental Europe. At the sametime it must be observed that our plant is a far more slender, less armed formthan any of those which English batologists had been accustomed to nameR.

It does notexactly tally with the Surrey plant for which the name of R. cognatus was firstcoined by Mr. Browne.I wish to state that the responsibility of ranging all the above together underthe name of R. cognatus lies solely with myself; the plants brought together herehaving long been subjects of much controversy. They were separated in theFlom of HerefO?·dshire between R. Lejeunei, B. Bloxamii, and R. Koehleri: theywere assigned by Dr. Focke partly to B. fuscus, partly to R. Koehle1·i; and byRev. W. M.
