A REVISED ARRANGEMENT OF BRITISH ROSES 9 



Var. recofjnita Kouy is remarkable for its leallets and fruit being 

 elongate and narrowed at each end. Its styles are usually hispid, but 

 sometimes glabrous. It might be regarded as an extreme form of 

 var. steiiocarjja, but with more hispid styles. Y.c. 3, 17, 23?, 42, 

 58 ?, Down. 



Var. Schlimperti Hofm. (sub B. canina). Leallets rather large 

 and rather narrow, usually narrowed at each end, fruit ovoid, styles 

 glabrous or nearly so, and remarkable for its very rising or even 

 suberect sepals, though they are deciduous. V.c. 42, 43, 58. 



Var. sylvularuni (Kip.). Prickles usually straightish, rarely 

 hooked, leaflets quite small, fully biserrate, fruit subglobose, styles 

 thinly hispid, rarely woolly. Keserables var. smficosa. V.c. 17,58. 



f. pariaiensis Kouy is a form with very small fully biserrate leaf- 

 lets, usually narrowed at each end, fruit ovoid, and styles glabrous 

 or subglabrous. V.c. 16, 24, 26, 58. 



D. Subgroup Andegavenses. 



These are the varieties which have at least some of the peduncles 

 glandular-hispid. The leaflets have all degrees of serration, but are 

 without subfoliar glands. 



B. lutetlana var. andegaverisis (Bast.). Prickles often small 

 and straightish, leaflets large, uniserrate, rarely slightly biserrate, 

 variable in shape, typically elliptical and narrowed at each end, and 

 well spaced on the petioles, fruit usually ovoid but variable, some- 

 times more or less glandular-hispid, styles hispid. V.c. 3, 13, 15, 17, 



32, 34, 30, 38, 40, 57, 58. 



f. agraria (Kip.). The only important difference is that the 

 stvles are glabrous or subglabrous. V.c. 3, 11, 13 or 14, 15, 1(5, 17, 

 22, 24, 57, 58, 68, 70. 



f. surculosa (Woods). I think this is only a luxuriant state of 

 the type, with stout hooked prickles and a tendency to form large 

 clusters of flowers, of which the peduncles are often only slightly 

 hispid. Fruit very variable, but described as ellipsoid, styles very 

 thinly hispid. V.c. 13, 21, 22, 36 P. 



Var. Rousselii (Rip.). Leaflets suborbicular, uniserrate, fruit 

 broadly ovoid, st^des subglabrous. V.c. 17 ?, 34 ?, 61S, 58. 



Var. litigiosa (Crep.). Very short flowering branches, small 

 uniserrate leaflets, small narrow ellipsoid fruit, and glabrous styles 

 are the leading features. I do not feel satisfied that my specimens 

 correspond, as they have broadly ovoid fruit, but they are nearest to 

 this. V.c. 17?, 32?. 



Var. verticillacantlia (Mer.) = ^. inconspiciia Desegl. Leaflets 

 biserrate, peduncles not much glandular-hispid and ovoid fruit not 

 at all so, with hispid or subglabrous styles. The supposed prickle 

 arrangement in a whorl is not peculiar to, nor indeed common in, this 

 variety. V.c. 7 or 8, 22, 23, 32, 34, 38, 40, 58, 62, Qo, 70, 99, 

 Down ?, Antrim. 



f. Lemaitrei (Rip.). Leaflets smaller, fruit ovoid, and styles 

 glabrous or subglabrous. Not easily separable from var. verticill- 

 acanfha^ or the less biserrate forms from f. agraria. V.c. 2, 10, 17, 



33, 34, 58, 70.
