A LIST OP BRITISH ROSES 23 



from several specimens named for me by Sudre and Dingier, and 

 by the short note in Asch. & Graebn. Fl. Mitteleur. (vi. p. 177). 

 It is distinguished from the foregoing by its smaller, less hairy 

 leaflets, often, but not always, narrowed at each end. Its fruit 

 may be subglobose or ovoid, but Sudre refers two of my S. Devon 

 examples with globose fruit to var. calophylla Eouy. V.-c. 3, 14, 

 17, 32, 34, 36?, 58. 



E. URBicA Lem. in Bull. Soc. Phil. Par. p. 95. This species 

 labours under the same disadvantages as B. duvietorum, viz. an 

 inadequate author's description, and a diversity of modern opinion 

 as to its interpretation. Generally speaking, it has less hairy 

 leaflets than li. dumetorum, but they should still be hairy above, 

 at least when young. Its petioles should be prickly, fruit ovoid, 

 and styles decidedly hispid. I have only two specimens, both 

 from Surrey, named by Sudre, none by Dingier. Unfortunately 

 one is a mixture, and although I suggested the name for the other 

 myself, I cannot now see how it difi'ers from B. suhmitis. I have 

 therefore nothing definite to refer to any vice-county, except those 

 mentioned in E. p. 72, and one or two I have named myself. 

 V.-c. 3, 17, 39, 62. 



E. SEMiGLABRA Eip. ex Desegl. Cat. Eais. p. 204. Distinguish- 

 able as a rule from B. urhica by its leaflets having only the mid- 

 ribs hairy and its styles villous. A Northants specimen {Ley) 

 with very globose fruit may be B. glohata Desegl., which Keller 

 regards as a large-fruited form of B. semiglahra. The Leicester 

 specimen (Honvood) was referred to B. jactata by Sudre on 

 account of its irregular serration, but I agree with Dingier, who 

 places it under B. semiglahra, though towards B. hemitricha. The 

 species is fairly frequent, though perhaps less so than might be 

 inferred from the number of vice-counties for which it is recorded. 

 It might be considered as a mere variety of B. urhica. V.-c. 3, 14, 

 17, 22 ?, 31, 32, 40, 50, 55, 62, 65, 70. 



E. TRicHONEURA Eip. ex Desegl. Cat. Eais. p. 204. This comes 

 very near B. subglahra, but the hairs beneath the leaflets are not 

 confined to the midribs, and the styles are only thinly hispid, not 

 villous. The leaflets in most of my specimens are rather small ; 

 large leafleted forms run near B. spharocarpa, but their fruit is 

 smaller and seldom so globose. Several of my Surrey specimens 

 were labelled B. suhmitis by Sudre, but they are too glabrous for 

 that, and Dingier thinks they are either B. trichoncura or very 

 near it. It is, perhaps, no more than a variety of B. urhica. 

 V.-c. 13, 14, 17, 22, 32, 36, 58, 78. 



E. PLATYPHYLLA Eau, Enum. Eos. p. 82. Large, broadly oval, 

 rarely elliptical leaflets, hairy only on primary nerves beneath, 

 with large ovoid fruit and villous styles, are the chief character- 

 istics of tills species. I do not think it is at all common, and have 

 never gathered it myself. V.-c. 3, 13, 17, 79. 



E. SPHJ5R0CARPA Pug. ex D6s6gl. Cat. Eais. p. 208. Differs 

 from the last in its less hairy rather smaller leaflets, unarmed
