variations to which it is most subject. The size and habit of the 
plant, the shape of the receptacle and that of the leaflets, will 
distinguish this from the common Apple Rose of the gardens; a 
species with which it would be ridiculous to compare it, were it 
not for the singular circumstance of the crenate petals—a cha- 
racter which, as far as my knowledge extends, is not to be met 
with in any other species of this genus.
