230 MR. J. G. baker's MOXOGRAPH of BRITTSn ROSES. 



Stipules and bracts hairy on the baekj but little gland-ciliated. 

 Leaflets grey-green, softer in texture than in the foregoing forms, 



and sooner destroyed by frost i the terminal one often 18-21 lines 

 long by an inch broad, broadly rounded (or even cordate) at the 

 base, softly hairy all over beneath, and thinly so above when old ; 

 the serratures simple and moderately open ; the petioles densely 

 grey-pubescent, scarcely at all glanduloso-setose, and sometimes 

 without prickles. Flowers often deeper in colour than the prece- 

 ding. I'ruit large, generally ovate-urceolate, not so hard when 

 green, and ripening earlier than in the foregoing varieties, and 

 the sepals often not fully reflexed. Styles villose*. 



Principally in the north of England. R. nncinella, Besser, is 

 a montane form with firmer leaves, less hairy above, and large 

 subglobose fruit,

Like the last, but very glaucous, the serrations laxer and com- 

 pound, the secondary teeth gland-tipped, and petioles slightly 

 glandular. 



Northumberland, Durham, and Yorkshire amongst the hills. 

 A form with sepals glandular on the back, by the Swale, near 

 Keld, and a similar plant gathered in Derry by Dr. Moore.

Leaflets of average size, narrowly ovate-oblong, very glaucous, 

 and slightly downy above, densely downy and with a few incon- 

 spicuous scattered glands beneath ; the serration copiously com- 

 pound, the secondary teeth gland-tipped ; the petiole both pu- 

 bescent and setose ; the peduncle slightly hairy ; the styles densely 

 villose ; the fruit large and oblong ; the sepals not falling so soon 

 as usual. 



**ii. duvietorum inter R. caninam et coTiifoliam exacte media est. Millena et 

 varia circa Upsaliam videre licet R. canin€B et dumetoTKm indiviclua, facilhin® 

 vero semper ad suam speciem referenda, quare 111. Wahlenberg, plantas ip?as 

 nee characteres modo respiciens, tam in Fl. Upsaliensi quam Suecica distinxit, 

 et quanto diutius ejus vestigia repetii, tanto magis ad banc sententiam incline.
