Oldham and Henry's specimens both bear single flowers. 

 Henry describes his as having deep red, or occasionally pink, 

 flowers ; and states that he found it creeping over rocks in one 

 place only. This species is not admitted as a native of India by 

 Sir Joseph Hooker; and Franchet and Savatier (Enum. PI. Jap. 

 i. p. 130) regard it as probably not indigenous in Japan. Lindley 

 explains the involved synonymy of Rosa indica consequent upon 

 Linnaeus having confused the Chinese species in his writings and 

 herbarium. See also Brandis in ' Nature,' xxxvi. 1887, p. 509.
