TWO ADDITIONS TO THK LIST OF BRITISH EOSES. 43 



The leaves are terminal, rather thick, and polished dark green. 

 The panicle is large and showy, the branches and calyx-lobes 

 covered with red fur. The corolla-tube and back of the lobes are 

 scarlet, with darker red fur; the Iront of the lobes is glabrous and 

 bright orange. The lobes are nearly equal m size, and similar, 

 except that the uppermost one is hooded. The stamens are long 

 and slender, crimson in colour, with small black anthers. 



The plant is abundant in the one jungle where I have seen it, 

 but must be very local. It flowers in August.

Johore. Kampong Chiu-Cbin, Ulu Batu Pahat (Lake d Kelsall). 



A single specimen was brought by the expedition across Johore 

 in 1892. I have no note of the colour of the flowers. 



This species differs from the last-named in the more coriaceous 

 leaves, denser panicle with shorter and stouter branches, often four 

 in a whorl; the larger calyx, and very much shorter corolla, with 

 broader lobes ; the stamens are twice as long as the tube. As in 

 the last species, the panicle ends in a spike of bracts without any 

 flowers. The petioles, though swollen in the middle like the stem, 

 are not hollow, but contain pith. 



C. Jistulosiuii Becc, from Borneo, differs in its much longer 

 flowers crowded at the apex, as in C. Siphunanthus, and white, with 

 much shorter stamens and pistil. 



TWO ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF BRITISH ROSES. 



By the Rev. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



Some time since, I had notice from my friend the Rev. W. Moyle 

 Rogers, as well as from Mr. Charles Bailey, of a plant collected at 

 Boxley Warren, E. Kent, by Dr. 0. St. Brody, which seemed to be 

 either a form of tiosa rubujinosa or a hybrid with it. Mr. Beeby 

 had previously sent me the record of a rose found by him in the 

 same neighbourhood in 1878, which was referred by Mr. Baker to 

 R. involuta, between var. Doniana and var. l-iobertwni. R. invuiuta 

 is now held (no doubt rightly) by Prof. Crepin to be made up of 

 hybrids between R. pimpineHifolia and various forms of two or three
