SHOUT NOTES. EuBus LoEHEi Wirtgen in W. Kent and Surrey. — Two brambles in my collection have recently been identified with this by Eev. W. Moyle Eogers, and are clearly the same as the Herefordshire plants in Sets of British Eubi, mentioned by Eev. A. Ley on pp. 219, 220. The first was collected by Capt. Wolley Dod in Crown Wood, Shooter's Hill (v.-c. 16), during 1894, and was named R.fuscus by Dr. Focke; but the finder wrote : — "This form looks very different when growing, chiefly from the colour of its leaves ; but there is also an undescribable something about it that makes me think it should deserve a varietal name." The second was met with by Mr. S. T. Dunn and myself, the previous year, close to Woking Station (v.-c. 17) ; it was remarkable for the small size and greenish white colour of the petals. — Edward S. Marshall. Isle of Wight Plants. — Geranium j^yrenuiciwi was found last summer, by Mr. E. M. Prideaux, growing by the railway between Cowes and Newport, and Galeopsis versicolor my wife found growing by the road-side on St. George's Down. Neither of these plants has been hitherto recorded for the Isle of Wight. — Frederic Stratton. JuNcus tenuis Willd. — In February, 1884 (see Joiirn. Bot. 1884, p. 91), I met with one large tuft of Juncus tenuis^ in a pasture in Herefordshire, bearing about thirty old flowering stems. From that time onwards it produced a lessening number, until in the dry season of 1887 it bore only three or four very short and weakly stems, and then apparently died out, as I have failed to find any trace of it since. So far, my experience supports that of Mr. J. Lloyd Williams,
