Mr. Woops on the British Species of Rosa. 195 
more particularly pointed out in Engl. Bot.; as the specimens 
which I have received from Mr. Winch, the original discoverer, 
are hoary with a velvety down, and exceedingly soft on both 
sides—perhaps even more so than is usual in any other spe- 
cies; and those which I have gathered myself agree with them in 
this as in every other particular. Mr. Winch also in his Botanist’s 
Guide describes the leaflets as densely covered with down. I 
have reason to believe that the plants gathered by Sir J. E. Smith 
near St. Edmund's Bury, which in Engl. Bot. are attributed 
to this species, rather belong to R. tomentosa » of this essay. 
The extreme variableness of this latter species (the Rose I have 
had the most opportunities of examining under different circum- 
stances) induces me however to attach very little importance to 
this peculiarity in the pubescence. 
10. Rosa HETEROPHYLLA. 
R. receptaculis subglobosis, calycibus subcompositis, aculeis rec- 
tiusculis subzequalibus, bracteis lanceolatis. 
Frutex 7—9-pedalis. Rami vagi, pallide fusco-olivacei, aculeati ; aculei subfalcati 1, 2, 
v. 3 singula ad internodia caulis, plerumque ad basin foliorum. Petioli tomentosi, 
glandulosi, rarissime hic illic aculeo minimo recto muniti. Stipule lineares, acutae, 
tomentose, glanduloso-serrate, interdum pagina inferiore glandulosæ ; ew floribus 
proximæ vix ceteris latiores, quanquam interdum deficiant folia, — Fo/iola 5 v. 7, par 
superius et foliolum impar ceteris majora, nunc elliptica, nunc forma obovato-oblonga, 
basi rotundata, insigniter variantia, duplicato-serrata, utrinque molliter hirsuta, glan- 
= dulosa. Pedunculi 1 v. 2, nunc glabri, nune setis inæqualibus obsiti, bracteas æquantes 
vel eas superantes. Receptaculum subglobosum, nunc glabrum nunc setosum, setis 
fortioribus quam quz in pedunculo inveniuntur munitum. Calycis foliola pinnata vel 
_subpinnata, petalis longiora, basi setosa, sursum glandulosa. Flores expansos non 
vidi; petala alba sanguineo-maculata, Styli inclusi, stigmatibus convexis. Fructus 
Found by Mr. W. Borrer at Collington near Edinburgh, and else- 
where in that neighbourhood ; also at Finlarig. i
