The records for 59 and 69 require confirmation
- There are other records of Rubi fruticosi in the various
floras of Liverpool, Alanckester, A:htQn, etc., but they are not sufficiently trustworthy to admit them here, not through any fault, perhaps, of the recorders, but because of the unsatisfactory state of the literature on Rubi in this country previous to the publication of the Handbook of the Rev. W. Moylc Rogers. Of the 100 species of fruticose brambles described in the Handbook, only thirty-three are here recorded, and this list comprises all the known species. There should be fifty, and may be consider- ably more. See pap^r °° 'Distribution of Rubi in Great Britain,' by the Rev. W. M. Rogers, in the Journal of Botany for Apr I, 1902 and August, 1905. Class I.— PH^NOGAMIA {continued) Sub-class I. — Dicotyledones {continued) Order XXVL— Rosacea (continued) Rosa tomentosa, Sm. 59. 60. 69 — canina, L. Most, if not all, the common varieties of thisspecies are recorded for Lancashire. There are no uncommon ones to en- ter here. The roses have only been partially studied in any part of the county. It may be that the need of a recent monograph is an excuse for their neglect. — obtusifolia, Desv. var. frondosa (Baker). 69. Miss Hodg- son, J. G. Baker — glauca, Vill. 60.
