Smithius in Rees' s Cycl. v. 3o. n. 4?. dixit : " Nor 

 « does Gouan mention any thing that afTbrds a per- 

 a manent mark of discrimination betvveen Rosa pyre-

Rosa glandulosa Bell. deest in ejus herbario , sed habe- 

 tur in herbario Balbisii , et convenit omnino cum il- 

 la , quam obtinui ex Delphinatu a Bonjeannio . Est 

 autem ipsamet Rosa alpina L. in statu potius macro : 

 (( The glandular edging of the stipulas , on which our 

 (( worthy friend Bellardi has founded his character, 

 (( and name , is no less evident and constant in pyre- 

 U naica , and even in alpina itself, of which last in- 

 (( deed we are strongly inclined to consider the sup- 

 « posed species , both of Gouau and Villars , as me- 

 (( re varieties &c. „ Smith. in Rees' s Cycl. v. 3o.

In varietate /? aculei numerosi , aciformes , recti , paten- 

 tes , vel suhretrorsi vestiunt ramos supremos , et etiam 

 ramulos , sed non constanter . In reliquis nulla diver- 

 sitas a specie ; imo in hac varietate quoque urceus ca- 

 lycinus ludit glaber , vel hispidus . Laciniae limbi ca- 

 lycini in meis exemplaribus squant, aut superant co- 

 rollam ; quare character constans non est longitudo 

 dimidia corollae , quam illis tribuit Kochius in Syn. 

 p. 22,3. Identitatem hujus plantae cum Rosa alpina per- 

 sensit Reichenbachius , qui eam traxit ad Rosam py- 

 renaicam Gouan. in Fl. exc. 3. p. 6i3. n. 3952,.
