"Near the cueva in the Organ Mountains," E. (). Wooton in 1897.

 at this point. 



Rosa suffulta Greene, Pittonia 4: 12. 1899. 



"From the meadows of the Rio Grande at Las Vegas," G. R. Vasey. 



The description of the type locality will be slightly perplexing, to say the least, 

 to those who are acquainted with the geography of New Mexico. The Rio Grande 

 at the nearest point is about 90 miles from Las Vegas. One can only wonder which 

 of the two places, the vicinity of Las Vegas or the banks of the Rio Grande, is the one 

 where this rose was collected.

A shrub not at all common in the type locality. It is found only on the west side 

 of the Santa Fe Mountains and does not occur on their eastern slopes or in the Las 

 Vegas Mountains, so far as the writer has been able to ascertain. It is found on 

 shaded and rather damp hillsides.
