42 A LIST OF BRITISH ROSES 



[R. Jarinosa Bechst. Forstbofc. 1, p. 243. I can add nothing to 

 my remarks in B. E. pp. 84-86, except to say that I have seen 

 specimens ixova Selkirk (Druce) and Surrey {Marshall), which 

 might possibly belong here, but there is so much doubt as to what 

 the species really is, as well as to the identity of the Blair Atholl 

 specimen with it, that it is best excluded. My specimen of 

 Ley's Mardale, Westmorland, plant (Eept. Bot. Exch. Club, 1910, 

 p. 559) has smooth peduncles and calyx-tube, but is much too 

 young to determine even the group.] 



E. suBERECTA Ley, in Journ. Bot. 1907, p. 206. As defined in 

 my notes in B. E. pp. 81-82, this is a well-marked species, thougli 

 I still doubt its identity with Woods's R. villosa 8 suberecta, the 

 points of resemblance being of much less importance than those 

 of difference. Ley's specimens shade off on one side to forms 

 with subgiabrous leaflets, and on the other to forms with them more 

 softly densely grey-tomentose, usually, though not always, accom- 

 panied by more subglobose fruit, and less pinnate, more erect 

 sepals. Dingier concurs that some of these may be R. suberecta 

 X mollis. Ley's Hartsop, Westmorland, specimens (Bot. and 

 Wats. Exch. Clubs, 1910) are much off type, but may possibly 

 belong here. His Naddle Forest specimens are intermediate. 

 Sudre labels all the specimens he has seen R. villosa (pomifera) 

 var. vogesiaca Eouy, a diagnosis from which Dingier strongly 

 dissents, but thinks they show some resemblance to R. tomentosa 

 var. venusta Scheutz. V.-c. 49'?, 56?, 59?, 62, 67, 69, 78, 79, 92, 

 105, 106, 108, Londonderry. 



E. SUBERECTA var. GLABRATA Ley {I. c). The leaflets in this 

 may be quite as glandular as in the type, or glandular on primary 

 nerves only. I include a very thinly hairy form from W. Eoss, 

 but have a quite glabrous form from there also. Sudre referred 

 the slightly hairy one to var. vogesiaca Eouy, and the glabrous 

 ones to R. Jundzilli var. trachyphylla Eau, which Dingier thinks 

 an impossible diagnosis. As with the type, a white-flowered 

 form occurs ; normally they are a deep rose. V.-c. 97, 105, 

 106?. 



E. SUBERECTA X MOLLIS. I havo mentioned these forms 

 under R, suberecta. Some of them have smooth peduncles and 

 fruits, and run very near, or may even be, var. coerulea. These 

 latter forms all come from Inchnadamph, W. Sutherland (Mar- 

 shall). A white-flowered form also occurs. -V.-c. 105, 106, 108. 



E. SUBERECTA X coRiiFOLiA ?. An E. Eoss plant (Marshall) 

 may be this, which suggestion Dingier thinks perhaps correct. It 

 has grey-green, nearly eglandular leaflets, which are simply and 

 shallowly serrate, also quite falcate prickles. The petiole arma- 

 ture, fruit, and sepals are just those of R. suberecta, but the 

 armature of the fruit and peduncles consists of close-set, stout, 

 eglandular acicles, such as VilloscB hybrids seem disposed to 

 produce. Sudre thought it probably R. dumosa Pug., but 

 Dingier says he sees no resemblance except in its simple serra- 

 tion.. V.-c. 106.
