No. 28.131.2185 Collecting Notes: Field collection Identifications: Rubus surrejanus W.C.Barton & Ridd., Det. Randall, R.D., 1997, Nov 25, Isolectotype Isolectotype of R. hirtior W.C.R. Watson. Rubus surrejanus W.C.Barton & Ridd. Rubus leucanthemus P.J.Mull.;,Det. Marshall, E.S. Mueller and other French Botanists have tried to distinguish several forms that group themselves around R. leucostachys, seeming intermediate between that species and R. micans G. and G., on the one side, and R. radula, Weihe, on the other. Mueller's R. leucanthemus is one of these, on the micans side. I have seen no authentic specimens of the type, but this plant of Mr. Marshall's comes very near indeed to Genevier's description, hardly differing at all except in the broader and more compound panicle. Mr. Marshall's other plant (same locality and date, but unnamed) seems nearer to another of these intermediate forms, R. argyranthus, Boul. and Luc.; but here also I can give no certain name.-W.M.
