Rosa inermis of Roxburgh, namely, the double white, 
called by the Chinese Pah-mo-li, and the double yellow, 
called by the same people Wong-mo-ne-he-vong. The next 
allusion to it is made at page 131 of the Monograph of 
Roses, above quoted, at which time the Hortus Bengha- 
lensis was overlooked; and the same information was

communicated, led to special directions, on the part of the 
Horticultural Society, to Mr. John Damper Parks, who was
