10 A LIST OF BRITISH ROSES 



long, smooth ; petals pale pink ; sepals long, narrow, entire, 

 smooth on back, loosely reflexed after fall of petals, erect or conni- 

 vent in fruit ; fruit smooth, depresso-globose, orange-red, 3| lines 

 in diameter ; styles in a dense woolly head. Its numerous very 

 spinosissima-Yike prickles, and a much closer resemblance to that 

 parent than to any of the Eu-canince, are its most pronounced 

 features. It was discovered by Mr. Margerison in Knipe Wood, 

 near Kettlewell, N.W. Yorkshire, v.-c. 65. 



GEOUP PIMPINELLIFOLI^ x RUBIGINOS.E. 



E. sPiNosissiMA (agg.) X Eglanteria (agg.) {B. biturigensis Bor. 

 Fl. du Centre, 3, ii. p. 220). I have seen well-marked specimens of 

 this hybrid from E. Kent, and very similar ones, but with leaflets 

 much less glandular beneath, from E. Perth and Haddington, 

 collected by Mr. Barclay. They differ from R. biturigensis chiefly 

 in their glandular peduncles and fruit. V.-c. 15, 82, 89. 



E. INVOLUTA var. Nicholsonii Crep. in Bull. Soc. Bot. Belg. 

 xxi. p. 119. Besides the type specimen formerly in the herbarium 

 of Edinburgh University, but now, I fear, lost, I think a gathering 

 by Mr. Barclay from near Auchterarder, Mid-Perth, is best re- 

 ferred here on account of its very large and numerous subfoliar 

 glands. Both the collector and M. Sudre, however, think it a 

 spinosissima x tomentosa form. A specimen from Westerness 

 {Druce) also is best referred here. V.-c. 88?, 91, 97. 



E. INVOLUTA var. Moorei Baker (Monogr. Brit. Eos. p. 207). 

 V.-c. 96, Derry. 



SECTION CANINiE. 

 SUBSECTION EU-CANIN^. 



GROUP CANINA. 

 SUBGROUP LUTETIANiE. 



I can add but little to my general remarks (B. E. pp. 131-134) 

 on this subgroup of the subsection Eu-canince, so will confine 

 myself to an enumeration of the names which have been applied 

 to my recent specimens, with a few notes on.each. I have sub- 

 divided the subgroup into those with large, medium, and small 

 leaflets respectively, which, though not at all satisfactory, has the 

 effect of bringing similar-looking plants together better than any 

 other. Large leaflets are 14 lines long or more, medium are 10 to 

 14, and small under 10, but these figures are of course only 

 approximate. 



Leaflets Large. 



E. LUTETiANA Lem. in Bull. Soc. Phil, de Paris, p. 95. There 

 seems to be a strong disposition on the part of Sudre and Dingier 

 to refer specimens to any of the closely allied segregates rather 

 than to the type, and, indeed, it is a question whether it is not
