e. Fruit subglobose ; receptacle frequently elliptical; peduncles 
sometimes extending beyond the bracteæ, from one to eight 
or nine in a cyme; petals blush-coloured, white at the base ; 
prickles falcate ; leaflets very soft, without glands, except on 
the nerves and serratures. Near Newcastle, Mr. Robertson.

£. hybrida. The leaves of this plant are green, not white with 
- down, hairy underneath, and rough with glands; receptacle 
as setose as the peduncle ; aculei falcate. Pointed out to me 
by Mr. Sabine under the name of R. hybrida. I have ob- 
served a similar Rose near Keswick, and also in the neigh- 
bourhoood of Godstone in Surrey. Mr. Borrer has speci- 
mens much resembling it from Scotland, in which the recep- 
tacle is globose. 
z- Receptacle large, olive-coloured, attenuated at the base, less 
setose than the peduncles; peduncles one to four, furnished 
with weak setz ; leaflets rough, with glands on the underside, 
except those on the young shoots which are very soft and 
downy; the aculei vary very much, some even on the strong 
stems being quite straight, while in general, even on the young 
branches, they are considerably curved; whereas in this genus 
the root-shoots have usually the prickles stronger and more 
curved than the branches. This variety of R. tomentosa bears 
a considerable degree of resemblance to two other very di- 
stinct species, It. micrantha and R. Borreri, and at the same 
time in general appearance is not very different from the 
variety s; I have only seen three plants; two between Down 
and Holwood in Kent in July 1815, both of which at first 
sight I took for R.micrantha, until the thorns, which are never
