NOTES ON SCOTTISH ROSES 119 



R. MOLLIS, Sm. 



38, from Mid Perth, East Perth, West Perth, Forfar, Fife, 



Stirling, and Selkirk. 



Professor Crepin has not attempted to subdivide the 

 specimens of R. mollis into groups of varieties. He says in 

 the first report : " Your Nos. are variations of R. mollis, Sm. 

 R. mollis, Sm., is a synonym of R. mollissima, Fries, non 

 Wildenow. What Wildenow has described under this name 

 is R. tomentosa, Sm. I have seen the authentic type of this 

 author." 



R. TOMENTOSA, Sm. 



I. Teeth composite-glandular, veins on under surface 

 of leaves (nervures secondaires) glandular, pedicels 

 hispid-glandular. 



i 2, from East Perth and Mid Perth. 



(b} Veins of under surface without glands, or appearing 

 to be without glands. 



4, from Mid Perth and West Perth. 



II. Teeth broad, often with one or two delicate glands 

 on their lower edge, glands which at length disappear 

 so as to render the teeth quite simple. No glands 

 on under surface of leaves. 



2, from Mid Perth. 



" You have named these last two Nos. var. subglobosa, 

 Sm. This variety, as generally known, has the serrations of 

 the leaflets more or less compound. Your two specimens 

 tend to approach R. cinerascens, Dumt. 



"Your No. 36, which you also name var. subglobosa, 

 Sm., has the serrations more or less compound, and may be 

 referred to the group of variations described by M. Baker 

 under the name of var. subglobosa, Sm." 



It was only the first parcel of R. tomentosa that Professor 

 Crepin analysed in the manner given above. Of the gather- 

 ings of 1894, which consisted of 43 Nos. from localities in 

 East Perth, Mid Perth, West Perth, and one or two Nos. 

 from Arran, he wrote :
