4 A LIST OF BRITISH ROSES 



E. OVATA Lej. Fl. Spa, p. 312. Strictly speaking, this covers 

 the narrow-leafleted as well as the narrow-fruited forms, both of 

 the type and of var. major, but the name has been applied chiefly 

 to those with narrow fruit. It appears frequent, and merges into 

 the type. An example in my herbarium from S. Devon might 

 equally well be referred to var. major or to B. ovata ; I have placed 

 it to the former. V.-c. 3 or 4, 9, 17, 36, 37, 62 or 65. 



E. ARVENsis var. scabra Baker ex Gandog. Dec. PI. Nov. i. 

 p. 26. A very slight variety, distinguished by its very glandular 

 petioles, and probably generally distributed. V.-c. 13, 34. 



E. ARVENSIS var. biserrata Cr6p. in Bull. Ac. Eoy. Belg. 

 p. 113. Decidedly biserrate leaflets, such as this variety should 

 have, appear to be very rare in B. arvensis, though a fine, almost 

 obsolete denticulation of the primary teeth is common enough. I 

 have seen no specimens except W. E. Linton's. V.-c. 57. 



E. ERRONEA Eip. Though the glandular setae on the peduncles 

 are more or less deciduous, so that late in the season a certain 

 number of smooth peduncles can be found, extreme forms appear 

 to be quite rare. V.-c. 17, 18 or 19 ?, 62 or 65 ?. 



E. Melvini Towndr. ex N. E. Brown, Suppt. E. B. 3, p. 162. 

 Omitted by an oversight from my B. E. I have seen no specimens 

 except those from Madresfield. V.-c. 37. 



E. GALLicoiDES D6s6gl. Cat. Eais. p. 49. I have seen no further 

 specimens of this beyond those mentioned in B. E., pp. 6, 7. 

 V.-c. 37, 38, 57. 



E. ARVENSIS X STYLOSA. Specimens distributed through the 

 Watson Exchange Club by Messrs. Bickham and Towndrow are 

 referred to this hybrid, no doubt correctly. It may be one of the 

 elements which make up Bastard's B. dibracteata. 



SECTION STYLOS^. 

 GEOUP STYLOSA. 



E. STYLOSA Desv. in Journ. de Bot. 1809, ii. p." 317 (including 

 vars. Desvauxii Baker and Desvauxiana Ser. as synonyms). 

 Though continental botanists sometimes apply this name to forms 

 with leaflets as little hairy as in B. systyla Bast., though broader, 

 it seems to me, in view of Desvaux's own specimens and descrip- 

 tion, that considerable hairiness should be a more imiportant 

 feature than breadth of leaflets. It is for this reason that I ex- 

 cluded the Surrey, E. Kent, and S. Devon specimens cited in 

 B. E. p. 11, and I have seen no further specimens than those 

 mentioned therein, viz. from v.-c. 8, 9, 11, and 31. 



E. STYLOSA var. corymbosa Desv. in Journ. de Bot. 1813, ii. 

 p. 113 (var. opaca Baker). No further specimens have been 

 referred to this by Sudre or Dingier, but it is possible that speci- 

 mens from Exeter [Hunnyhiin), and W. Sussex {Bojfey), may 

 belong here. They have smooth peduncles, but their general 

 appearance is that of B. systyla rather than B. stylosa. They are
