Rydberg: Notes on Rosaceae 75 



thick and orange; sepals lanceolate, caudate-attenuate, about 1.5 

 cm. long, glabrous or nearly so on the back, tomentose on the 

 margins and within, in fruit erect and persistent; styles distinct, 

 persistent, not exserted ; achenes inserted both in the bottom and 

 on the inside of the hypanthium. 



This species is related to R. Woodsii, but differs in the yellowish 

 green leaflets, sharply serrate with teeth directed forward, the 

 orange fruit and usually many-flowered corymbs. The following 

 belong here:

 Muljord 189.

15. Rosa mohavensis Parish, Bull. So. Calif. Acad, i: 87. 1902 



This was originally described as R. calijornica glabrata Parish. 

 Parish overlooked the fact that there was an older R. calijornica 

 glabrata Crepin. The present species is not related to R. calijornica 

 but to R. Woodsii, from which it differs in the shining, elliptic 

 instead of obovate, leaflets.

 Amador County, Hansen 18 13, in part; Southern California,

16. Rosa myriantha Carr. Rev. Hort. 1865: 448. 1865 



This species, not uncommon in California, has generally been 

 overlooked. Crepin, apparently not knowing it very well, admitted 

 it as a variety glabra of R. calijornica, notwithstanding the fact 

 that it has straight prickles. Regel described it under the name R. 

 calijornica. From his treatment it is not evident that he even 

 knew of the existence of R. calijornica Cham. & Schlecht., but it is 

 evident that he was not familiar with it. The following specimens 

 belong to R. myriantha: 



California: Eel River, Heller 6044; Red Reef Canon,
