name R. corlifolia Fr. has been extended by several recent writers 

 upon roses more widely, and so as to include more forms than 

 are comprehended in it by Fries in ' Nbmt. Fl. Suecica?,' where 

 Fries expressly states that R. corlifolia has the leaflets eglandular 

 beneath, subsequently serrated, with the serrations simple and 

 eglandular. Recently not a few forms and varieties of R. coriifolia 

 have been gathered in Scandinavia, which differ more or less 

 widely from the description given by Fries. For this rose in 

 Sweden varies greatly, and in different localities assumes different 

 forms, which, along with the typical form of R. coriifolia, stand in 

 the same relation to R. dumetorwn Thuill. as R. Reuteri (God.-=^ 

 R. glauca Vill.) and its forms hold in relation to R. canina L. in 

 the strict sense. 



"While examining R. Lintoni, it occurred to me that the forms 

 of R. coriifolia, with leaflets glandular beneath (vars. gothica, 

 Baheri, Lintoni, &c), may perhaps be related to the other forms 

 that have the leaflets eglandular beneath in the same way as R. 

 tomentclla Lam. and its forms are related to R. dumetorum Thuill. 

 and its forms. I believe that R. tomentella stands nearer to R. 

 dumetorum than to the section Suhruhiginosce. These forms of 

 R. coriifolia, which show leaflets glandular beneath, may be united 

 into a series called Suhtomentellae, which differ from the true 

 Tomentellae chiefly by the erect persistent sepals."
