whence the name of Rosa flava in Donn’s Catalogue, if we 
do not miftake. There can be no doubt of its being a double 
coloured variety of the Rosa mu/tiflora of Japan; with Taun- 
BERG'S defcription of which, in his Flora Japonica, it corre- 
{ponds in every refpeét, except that he fays the flowers are 
white. Had it been an undefcribed fpecies, we fhould have 
called it Rosa rudbiflora, as the flowers refemble thofe of the 
bramble, not only in external appearance, but in the length of 
the ftyles: we have therefore adopted this in our Englith 
name. Indeed, without feeing the fruit, it is not poffible to 
decide abfolutely whether it belong to the genus Rosa or 
Rubus; but on the prefumption that our plant is the fame as 
that defcribed by Tuunserc, combined with the general 
habit, we refer it to the former genus. 
Is propagated by cuttings, but feems in general to be fhy of 
flowering, perhaps for want of being fufficiently expofed to the 
open air, —
