numerous foliaceous bracts. £. setipoda, which appears 
to be quite hardy, grows vigorously in the rather stiff 
loam that roses as a whole enjoy. It can be propagated 
by cuttings made of ripened wood in autumn. The 
material from our plate was obtained from a bush in the 
Coombe Wood Nursery of Messrs. Veitch which flowered 
there in June and July 1913.
