Originally published in 1958, this book describes all the forms of the genus Rubus, which includes blackberries and brambles, found in Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Each species is described in order of frequency, with notations on any special geographical restrictions, and fifty of these species are illustrated at the conclusion of the text. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in botany and the flora of the British Isles.
Excerpt from Synopsis of the British Rubi As it has been thought better not to encumber this paper with synonym s, only those references are given which appeared requi site for the more certain determination of the plants. In conclusion, I must crave the indulgence of those who may honour this synopsis with their attention, and assure them that whatever errors they may find in it are not the result of careless ness, but caused by the paucity of our knowledge of plants which have been too generally neglected. It is hoped that by publish ing the knowledge that they may obtain, all botanists will assist in perfecting our acquaintance with a genus, which more than most others requires a division of labour.
