NOTES ON SCOTTISH ROSES 173 



II. Teeth simple, pedicels hispid-glandular, sepals 

 glandular on the back. 



7, from Mid Perth, West Perth, Cheviotland, Fife, and 



Stirling. 



"No. 56, pedicels smooth. Nos. 415 and 416 have the 

 appearance of sepals rather spreading (etales) than erect, 

 which would suggest that they belong to the group R. sub- 

 collina (Christ.). It will be necessary to see them at maturity 

 in order to make sure. No. 424 has not its sepals plainly 

 erect. Perhaps also a form of R. sub-collina (Christ.)." 



With regard to these I had no doubt at the time of 

 gathering them that 416 and 424 belonged to R. coriifolia, 

 and I think so still. No. 415 puzzled me when at the 

 bush ; and I think it is very probably R. sub-collina. It 

 was gathered near Learmouth, close to the border of 

 Northumberland and Berwick. 



III. Teeth double or composite, pedicels and sepals 



without glands. 



1 6, from Mid Perth, East Perth, Fife, Stirling, and Cheviotland. 



IV. Teeth double or composite, pedicels smooth, sepals 

 glandular on the back. 



5, from Mid Perth and East Perth. 



V. Teeth double or composite, pedicels hispid-glandular, 

 sepals glandular on the back. 



7, from Mid Perth and Cheviotland. 



VI. Teeth composite. Leaflets more or less glandular 

 on veins of under surface. (Pedicels and sepals 

 smooth or glandular.) 



The pubescence and the glandulosite of the leaflets are 

 very variable in this group. 



46, from East Perth, Mid Perth, West Perth, Ayr, Stirling, 

 Fife, Roxburgh, and Selkirk. 



My first parcel contained but one specimen belonging to 

 this sub-division, and I had not noticed the glands on the
