The preceding description is almost entirely taken from Professor Lindleys admirable Monograph on Roses. 
The shrub is very large, and would be a great acquisition in this country, where it would beyond a doubt thrive well. 
Mr. Lindley informs me that his variety y. arguta is possibly a distinct species, and the most European form among 
the Roses of India, approaching to some varieties of Rosa mollis.

I sent specimens of this beautiful plant to the Museum at the India House in 1824, under the name of Calosacme 
polycarpa. I have now referred the plant to the genus Lysionotus, and in justice to Dr. Hamilton I have adopted his 
specific name, quoted but rejected by the author of the Prodromus Flore Nepalensis.
