16 A LIST OF BRITISH ROSES 



E. RECOGNITA Eouy in Bull. See. Bot. Fr. xxii. p. 296. This 

 species is remarkable for both its leaflets and its fruit being 

 narrow and attenuate at each end. The Brecon plant is a smaller 

 leafleted form, which Dingier thinks to be nearer B. canina var. 

 fraxinoides H. Braun, but the two might well be combined. 

 V.-c. 17, 42, 58. 



E. GLABERRiMA Dum. Monogr. Eos. Fl. Belg. p. 63. The 

 combination of glabrous styles with a subglobose or broadly 

 ovoid fruit distinguishes this from all other large-leafleted forms 

 of the subgroup except the next, which differs as described. I 

 have three specimens so named by Dingier, two of which, from 

 widely different stations in Cheshire, were placed to a new variety, 

 B. dumalis var. cornaviensis (ined.) by Sudre. V.-c. 17, 58. 



[B. villosiuscula Eip. ex Des^gl. Cat. Eais. p. 166. This is very 

 near the last, with which it might be combined, either as a 

 synonym or a variety. It differs only in its prickly, instead of 

 unarmed, flowering branches, decidedly pubescent petioles, and 

 pale rose instead of white flowers, but these characters are not 

 constant. Sudre has so named one or two Surrey specimens for 

 me, which fit quite as well under B. glaberrinia.] 



[B. malmundariensis Lej. Fl. Spa, p. 231. This name has not 

 been used by Dingier or Sudre for any of my specimens, so in 

 view of my remarks in E. p. 41 I propose to exclude it.] 



Leaflets Medium. 



E. viRiDiCATA Pug. ex Gren. Eev. Fl. Jur. p. 67. Although not 

 more than suspected to be British in my " Eu-caninae," this turns 

 out to be our most abundant form — that is, if I may judge from the 

 number of individuals in my herbarium, of which the majority are 

 from S. Devon and Surrey. There also seems to be more agree- 

 ment than usual between Dingier and Sudre as to the names of 

 the specimens they have both seen, but I have about half-a-dozen 

 which have been seen only by Sudre, and some seen by neither. 

 It is characterised by its rather small leaflets, never very much 

 biserrate, and often quite as little so as in the Transitorim. Its 

 fruit is normally subglobose or broadly ovoid, and rather small, 

 but it varies to quite ellipsoid and larger. The styles should be 

 rather long and densely hispid, though shorter, more glabrous- 

 styled forms occur. It is often with difficulty distinguishable 

 from B. insignis Desegl. V.-c. 3, 14, 17, 22, 32, 34, 36, 43 ?, 55, 58. 



[B. analoga Desegl. in Bull. Soc. Bot. Belg. xix. p. 30 is the 

 name applied by Sudre to one of my Cheshire specimens which I 

 place under B. viridicata, but which Dingier thinks near B. canina 

 var. fissidens Borb. I do not know the latter, but though the 

 specimen is not typical B. viridicata, it certainly is no nearer 

 B. analoga.] 



E. Carioti Chab. in Cariot, Etud. Fl. ii. p. 67. A glabrous- 

 styled form with medium sized broadish leaflets, and ovoid or 

 urceolate fruit. It is near B. stenocarpa, from which its broader
