 Shrubs bearing bristles and prickles of two forms. Peduncles 

 bracteate. Leaflets oblong or ovate, wrinkled. Disk thickened, 

 closing the throat. Sepals compound. This division comprises 

 u»e portion which has most particularly interested the lovers of 

 flowers. It is probable that the earliest of which there are any 

 records as being cultivated belonged to some portion of it ; but 

 to which particular species those of Cyrene or Mount Pangoeus 

 "e to be referred, is now too late to enquire. The attar of roses, 

 pich is an important article of commerce, is either obtained 

 irom them indiscriminately, as in the manufactory at Florence, 

 conducted by a convent of friars, or from some particular kind, 

 f .'p , It appears, from specimens brought from Chizapore 



J Ulonel Hardwicke, that R. Damascena is there exclusively 

 "^d for obtaining the essential oil. The Persians also make 

 ^^ of a sort which' Koempfer calls R. Shirazensis, from its 

 powing about Schiraz, in preference to others ; this may be 

 ^* ner R. Damascena or R. centifolia. It is, however, well 



own that attar of roses from diflferent countries is of various 

 ^grees of goodness, that from Turkey being usually the best. 



^ therefore probable that R. moschata may be sometimes 

 M V^ alone or mixed with other kinds, especially at 

 * ogodor, where considerable quantities are procured, but of 

 ^'^f^^nor quahty. "

 Flowers white or red, single, but most commonly double. This 

 species is distinguished from R. Damascena in the sepals not 

 being reflexed, the flowers full, double, and the petals very 

 large, whence the name of Cabbage-rose. Its fruit is either 

 oblong or roundish, but never elongated. From R. Gallia it is 

 distinguished by the flowers being drooping and by the larger 

 size of the prickles, with a more robust habit. The following
