34 STATIONS OF SOME PLYMOUTH KUBI.
reserved for farther study. About these I may possibly be able to
say sometliiug at a future time.
R. Ida: us, Linn. Comuiou, and doubtless truly wild in many spots,
but it springs so readily from seed, and is so much cultivated, that it
is impossible to say in what localities it is indigenous. By the Cowsic
river, on Dartmoor; remarkably common in hedges by the Tavistock
and Okehampton road, within a few miles of the former place ; plen-
tiful near Peter Tavy, where the yellow- fruited plant occurs ; in a
wood at Torr, near Yealrapton ; Common Wood, etc.
J{. snberectus, Anders. In open spots in many of our wooded val-
leys, especially where the soil is moist. Also frequent among low
copsewood on the hillsitles, but not a hedgerow shrub. In the valley
of the Plym at Common Wood, Cann, etc., and by some of its tri-
butary streams ; in a wood at Derriford, Egg Buckland ; in the vale
of the Yealin, near Cornwood ;
at Blaxton, etc.
One of the earliest species to flower, in South Devon coming into
bloom at the end of May or beginning of June.
R..j)licatus, W. and N. Specimens so named by the Rev. A. Bloxam
were obtained from a bog at Ivybridge and a bushy spot at Blaxton,
near Tamerton Foliott.
R. ajfiuls, W. and N. By the side of a road near Beer Ferris,
leading towards Lopwell ; valley of the Yealm, Dartmoor ; some
bushes on the right bank of the Plym, near Riverford. Mr. Bloxam
considers the plants at the first aiul second stations this ; and Mr.
Baker calls the Beer one and the last nffinls, but says that by this
name he may not mean quite the same plant as do some botanists,
since by it he understands one that is " apparently essentially the same
as niiidiis, W. and N."
R. rJinmnifoUus, W. and N. Probably common. In a waste spot
i)y the Plymouth and Saltash road, near the ferry across the Tamar,
etc. Many bushes of a small form of this occur in a waste but en-
closed piece of ground on the right of the Saltash and Callington
road, after you descend the hill below Ilatt, Cornwall. We probably
have also R. cordlfolim, W. and N., included with this by Babington
in his ' Maiuud of British Botany,' for a plant respecting which the
Rev. A. Pdoxam writes, " I believe cordifolius," and Mr. Baker "one
of the cordiJoUns set of forms,"— grows in a hedge by the Plymouth
and Tavistock road, between Knackersknowle and Roborough, near a
