NOTES ON ABERDEENSHIRE ROSES 41 



R. RUBIGINOSA, Linn. 

 Nos. 17, 22, 36, 37, 44, 70. 



R. CANINA, Linn. 

 Group R. lutetiana, Lem. 



Nos. 40, 42, Si, 83. 



Group R. dumalis, Bechst. 



Nos. 46, 64. 



No. 64 has on the barren stem irregular prickles, the very large, 

 uncinate prickles of the species running down to short, slender, 

 straight acicles. I have seen this occasionally on other forms of 

 R. canina. 



None of the other groups of R. canina, as analysed by M. 

 Crepin, are represented in the parcels. Variations of group R. 

 dumctorum, Thuill., must, I think, occur. In fact, I am almost 

 certain that I have seen specimens of this group in N. Aberdeen, in 

 the neighbourhood of Huntly. The other groups are not so likely 

 to be found. 



R. GLAUCA, VilL 



I. Teeth simple, pedicels smooth, sepals with or without glands 



on the back. 



No. 5. 



The type of Villars. 



II. Teeth double or composite, pedicels smooth, sepals with or 

 without glands on the back. 



Nos. 2, 19, 20, 29, 35, 47, 49, 53, 65, 68, 72, 75, 76, 84, 

 24, 3> 32, 39> 4i> 87- 



In the last six Nos. the sepals are more or less glandular on the 

 back. 



This group, to which var. subcristata, Baker, belongs, is evidently 

 abundant in Aberdeenshire, as it is in Perthshire and some other 

 counties. 



III. Teeth simple, pedicels hispid-glandular, sepals with or with- 

 out glands on the back. 



No specimen. 



Most likely this form does occur, though perhaps rarely. I have 

 a note of having seen it near Keith, in Banff. 



IV. Teeth double or composite, pedicels hispid-glandular, sepals 

 glandular on back. 



Nos. 15, 30, 52, 54.
