Brought home specimens & two plants of queer bramble from right bank of R. Liffey, below footstick & just at N. end of stepping-stones, which I think is a cross between blackberry & raspberry, but Meikle suggests is Rufus suberectus (= nessensis) which subsequently was identified as definitely such by Mr. Wm. Watson of Bromley, Kent, who does not turn down my suggestion that this is a hybrid.  [Fruited well in 1947 in garden & berries with quite a flavour of their own - neither blackberry or raspberry & perhaps nearer to dewberry!]
