Powell, James Thomas. See notes under General Herbarium.
Collection of 26 sheets of Epping Forest Rubi.
Collection of c. 250 sheets of British Rubi. This last collection was
accompanied by a collection of so-called "duplicates". Fortunately during
the past two or three years we have had the benefit of having these
collections of Rubi examined and inspected by Mr. William Watson, the
eminent British Batologist who has kindly re-named these plants according
to present-day ideas. It appears that many of the "duplicates" are in
fact distinct species and when the present revision of the Rubi species is
more complete it is hoped to re-arrange the Club's collections to Record
with this system. Many of these sheets bear annotations by Professor
O. C. Babington.
