38 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



P. Anserina, Z. This species varies greatly in degree of hairiness. 

 Plants that had the upper surface of the leaves covered with 

 pale hairs when growing in damp hollows among sand dunes 

 (as in var. sericea), when cultivated in good soil in a garden in 

 Old Aberdeen in two years had the upper surface of the leaves 

 bright green, and almost hairless (var. discolor).

ROSA. To this numerous records have to be added since April 

 1898, chiefly as the result of more recent work in the field (several 

 papers having appeared in this Journal), but also from the investiga- 

 tion of herbaria and of local lists. In these last the names are often 

 not to be trusted in so critical a group as the Roses, and the sub- 

 joined additions are confined to those believed to be trustworthy. 

 They are arranged under the scheme of M. Crepin, as set forth by 

 Mr. Barclay, and followed in my second list ("Ann. S.N.H.," 1898, 

 p. 167). 



Rosa pimpinellifolia, L.,f. spinosissima, Z. Recorded for all except 

 76, 77, 99 (iii?), 112; probably occurs in all except 112 

 and in (?). 



R. involuta, Sm. Under this name the hybrids of spinosissima with 

 tomentosa or mollis, probably the former, have been recorded 

 in 1900 from 91 and 93. 



R. p. f. spinosissima x rubiginosa. In several places in North 

 Aberdeen (93), and in Banffshire (94), in gardens and byroads. 

 Mr. Barclay regards this as an escape from cultivation where 

 found in 93 and 94 ; but he has found it as a natural hybrid 

 with the parent species by the Tay at Caputh, in Perthshire. 



R. hibernica, Sm. (R. canina x spinosissima), 93, 94. One large 

 cluster in each locality, possibly introduced. 



R. rubiginosa, Z., 90 to 96, 1097. In N.E. Scotland this frequently 

 appears entitled to be regarded as native, if one may judge by 

 habitats. It has long been a favourite, and has often been 

 planted, even in early times ; and its seeds are readily dispersed
