in the family of R. tomentosa. R. micrantha has also considerable 
affinity with R. Borreri: it may however be distinguished from 
that species by the much stronger and more numerous setze of the | 
peduncle generally extending on the fruit, by the narrower pinnæ 
of the calyx, and by the glands covering the whole under surface 
of the leaf; the general colour of the plant is also a paler and 
yellower green. 
R. sempervirens, Roth Fl. Germ. 1. 218. ii. 556; R. umbellata, 
Lam. et Dec. Fl. Fr. vi. 532, seems to be allied to this plant, but 
can hardly be identified either with this or with R. Eglanteria. 
It might be expected that the Rose mentioned in the account of 
R. Eslanteria as having been gathered by Mr. Borrer and Mr. 
Hooker in different parts of France, would be found among the 
descriptions of the French botanists; but I cannot refer it with 
confidence either to R. sepium or R. umbellata. If distinct, we 
may consider this subdivision of the large family of R. canina, | 
distinguished by compound serratures and glands under the whole 
surface of the leaf, as composed of four species; R. Eglanteria, 
R. micrantha, R. umbellata, and one yet unnamed. I dare not 
at present admit R. sepium among the number.
