Rosa suffulta Greene 



It is possible that this rose may yet be found in more of our northern 

 counties, especially in La Porte and St. Joseph Counties. For a more 

 detailed discussion of this and other species of Indiana roses, see Deam,

Newf. to Sask., southw. to Pa. and 111. 



Of this species complex Indiana has the following named varieties : 



6a. Rosa blanda var. carpohispida Schuette, with stipitate glands on the 

 hypanthium. This is a rare form. 



6b. Rosa blanda var. glandulosa Schuette, with pyriform hips. I have 

 this form from Porter County, and it has been reported from the dunes 

 by Peattie. 



6c. Rosa blanda var. hispida Farw., with densely bristly stems, 

 ported from the dune area of Lake Michigan by Peattie.

 and Britton and Brown, Illus. Flora, ed. 2.) (Rosa heliophila Greene of 

 Deam, Shrubs of Indiana, ed. 1.) Map 1180. I have found this species only 

 in Tipton County in Indian Prairie in moist soil along the railroad about 

 a half mile west of Goldsmith. Chas. M. Ek has found it in several places 

 along railroads in Howard County.

7a. Rosa suffulta var. relicta (Erlanson) Deam, comb. nov. (Rosa 

 relicta Erlanson in Rhodora 30: 116-117. 1928.) This rare form has been 

 found in Indiana only in Tipton County in the Indian Prairie area along 

 the railroad a short distance west of Goldsmith. "It resembles a weak R. 

 suffulta; it is semi-herbaceous, the two year old wood being often semi- 

 procumbent. It differs from R. suffulta in the narrow stipules, small fruit 

 with reflexed and semi-deciduous sepals, in which characteristics it re-
