their own R. tomentosa, two very different plants. * Aiguillons un 
peu courbés” is a character hardly inconsistent with any variety 
of this plant; though in some they are frequently to be met with 
quite straight. The fruit is said to give a feetid smell when rubbed ; 
a quality I have never had the opportunity of observing. 
'l'o the same variety, or to y, we may perhaps refer Rosa ande- 
gavensis of the same work, vi. 539. It agrees very well with the 
usual appearances of this species, except in the pubescence.

No Rose hitherto published can be quoted as a synonym of this 
species ; or at least its most remarkable peculiarity, ‘the union 
of straight aculei unmixed with sete, with smooth leaves fur- 
nished only with simple serratures, has never been noticed. Per- 
haps, however, I shall hardly be considered justifiable in ad- 
mitting it in the enumeration of species, since I have only one 
specimen, which was gathered without particular notice among 
others from the hedges on the side of the road between Amble- 
side and Clappersgate. Had I known with what species $9 join 
- it,
