ocrnotes:R., sp. Hedge bank at Reap's Moor, near Alstonfield, N. Staffordshire, 15th October, 1887. These specimens are from the same bushes as those formerly sent under the name of R. ramosus, Blox. They were so named after comparison with a plant from near Youl-greave, Derbyshire, which Mr. Bloxam called " ramosus," but I have since been led to question the correctness of the name, so much do these plants differ in armature of the panicle from Mr. Briggs's " ramosus," which had also been named by Bloxam.--W. H. Purchas, "R. rhombifolius, Wh."--W. O. Focke.
Filing note:BEC Report 1887
