it was unaccompanied with any further notes or observa- 
tions, its being referred to the P. albiflora rests entirely 
upon myself. I have so done, from its general resemblance 
to the P. albiflora y. Whitlejt of Bot. Reg. t. 630, and still 
more to the P. edulis (a synonym to P. albiflora, var. sinen- 
sis, Bot. Mag. t. 1768.) From the former it is distinguished 
by its inner petals being much broader, and more entire, 
and from the latter, by these being of a beautiful and most 
delicate rose colour, little if at all inferior to that of our 
most favourite roses.
