The only wild specimens known of Rosa indica L., are 

 those collected by the author in the glens near Ichang, 

 Central China. These specimens are described and figured 

 (fig. 170): 



Rosa gigantea Collett, originally described from the Shan States 

 was found by the author in Yunnan. 1t is near R. indica but may be at 

 once distinguished from it by its larger white flowers. The fruit is 

 also longer, the leaves frequently foliolate and the sepals are without the 

 curious appendages that occur in R. indica. 



R. Banksiae is now known to be a native by the Western 

 mountainous part of China where it has been found wild in Shensi, 

 Kansu, Hupeh, Szechuan and Yunnan. Specimens from these widely 

 separated localities show considerable variations in number size 

 and hairiness of the leaflets. This species is figured (p. 171, 172) 

 from the author's specimens obtained between 2000 and 3000 ft. in 

 Szechuan. It has long been cultivated in China and was thence intro- 

 duced to Japan and Europe. 



R. microcarpa Ldl., differs from R. Banksiae in its coherent styles 

 and in the presence of spinules on the back and of denticulate appen- 

 dages on the margins of the outer sepals.
