Mr. Woops on the British Species of. Rosa. 
uncinate as in that plant, and the downiness of the young 
leaves undeceived me; and one near Potter’s Bar in Hert- 
fordshire, in the autumn of 1814, which I supposed at that 
time to be R. Borreri. The latter had eight ripe fruit, having 
probably had at least twelve flowers in a cyme ; on the others 
- I could not find more than four. 
3. Receptacle elliptical, as setose as the flowerstalk ; peduncles 
often longer than the bractez ; leaves densely villous, glan- 
dular underneath. Sent by Mr. G. Don to Mr. Sabine under 
the name of R. mollis. 
4 sylvestris. Receptacle along ellipsis, as setose as the peduncle ; 
peduncle shorter than the bracteæ ; aculei falcate ; leaflets 
narrower than in a, slightly pubescent above, hairy and 
rough with glands on the under side; surculi dark. purple. 
Received by Mr. Sabine from Mr. Donn of Cambridge. 
x. canescens. Receptacle broadly elliptical, nearly smooth ; aculei 
slender, but slightly curved ; leafits elliptic, oblong, concave, 
very soft, white, with down on both sides, glandular beneath. 
The calyx-leafits of this variety are very much divided, and 
have a strong tendency to grow out into leaves; in some of 
the early flowers they are, however, nearly simple, with onl y 
a few laciniz, broad at the base, lying in a direction parallel 
to that of the leafits. Stock Gill and Kentmer, Westmore- 
land, and Pooley-Bridge, Cumberland. | 
; A. Receptacle broadly elliptical, somewhat attenuated at the 
| base, less setose than the peduncle ; aculei falcate ; has much 
the habit of the following variety. Gathered by Mr. Borrer 
in Scotland in 1810. 
p. Peduncles as long or longer than the bracteæ ; receptacle as 
setose as the peduncle, and generally somewhat attenuated
