Jour; and it is remarkable that R. collina and R. sarmentacea 
"are not unfrequently to be observed.of a habit somewhat in- 
termediate between these varieties; so that if at first sight 
the young botanist should doubt whether he has the waxy 
or shining-leaved variety of R. canina, it is highly probable 
that a closer investigation will prove it to be one or the 
other of those species. 
y. glandulifera. Peduncle, receptacle, and calyx furnished with 
glands, or rather with weak setae, which are most abundant 
on the latter.—Near Potter's Bar, Hertfordshire ; at Pound’s- 
Bridge, near Penshurst in Kent; near Ambleside in West- 
. moreland. Mr. Borrer gathered a Rose nearly resembling 
these specimens, and which must be referred to this variety, 
but with the calyx-leafits narrower and less divided, at the 
Pass of Lanrick. 
à. Branches, stipule, and petioles of a vinous red. Not rare in 
hedges and bushy places, generally in a barren soil. 
T ibecontauit subglobose; leaflets bd or lanceolato-ovate, 
acute, with very little appearance of the small twisted acu- 
men. This Rose certainly does not accord well with the other 
varieties of R. canina : the shape of the leaflets, and their very 
irregular glandular serratures, united with the general habit, 
would almost justify an observer in attributing it to. R. col- 
lina; and with this notion the subglobose fruit i is not incon- 
sistent; but the petiole veins and inferior surface of the leaf- 
— lets areentirely without hairs. In some respects it resembles 
 R. surculosa ; but the leaflets are not flat, and the aculei of 
the petioles are rarely more than falcate. Near ‘aa 
Wells.
