50 A LIST OF BRITISH ROSES 



which may possibly belong to the type, some of the specimens 

 having almost glabrous leaflets, bvit it is not certain that all the 

 gatherings do not come from the same bush, the bulk of which is 

 referred to var. subcwieata Kouy. V.-c. 6, 11, 17?. 



E. SEPiuM var. pubescens Rap. Cat. PI. Vase. Gen. p. 73. This 

 name is used by Keller at the head of a subgroup of Agrestis con- 

 taining the hairy-leaved species, and would no doubt include 

 B. agrestis vars. suhcuneata and elegans Rouy, which he does not 

 mention. It appears to be distinguished mainly by its large 

 hairy leaflets and ovoid fruit. I keep the name for the E. Sussex 

 specimen (Jenner) mentioned on pp. 128-9 in B. R. V.-c. 14. 



R. AGRESTIS var. suBCUNEATA Rouy, M. Fr. vi. p. 351. This 

 name is given both by Dingier and Sudre to one of the gatherings 

 of Messrs. Groves at Puttenham, Surrey. Rouy distinguishes his 

 variety from all the others in the group, except B. arvatica Pug., 

 by its leaflets being of medium size and more or less hairy beneath, 

 separating it from B. arvatica by its narrower leaflets and fruit, 

 which latter is ovoid or ellipsoid, that of B. arvatica being broadly 

 ovoid or subglobose. The Puttenham plant was referred by 

 Deseglise to B. arvatica Pug., but since Puget's description, 

 though written, was never published, his name cannot stand. 

 V.-c. 15, 17, 24, 49, Co. Westmeath, Lough Dearg. 



R. BELNENsis Ozan. in Bull. Soc. Dauph. p. 326. This is very 

 near var. suhcuneata, but has quite globose, rather larger fruit. 

 Besides the Uphill gathering, specimens from near Witley, also at 

 Hammer Ponds, Surrey, must be referred here, but the Llandudno 

 example (B. R. p. 128) is best under var. suhcuneata. V.-c. 6, 

 14?, 15, 17. 



[B. inodora Fr. Novit. p. 9. The Brean Down plant (B. R, 

 p. 125-7) must, after all, be excluded from this group, its styles 

 being far too hairy. It is best under B. BillietH.] 



LIST OF SPECIES AND VARIETIES. 



The following list recapitulates the above species and varieties 

 in a tabular form. The "included" species and varieties are 

 those of which the names have been applied by British or foreign 

 botanists to British examples which appear to me to be too near 

 for segregation from the species which include them. I have not 

 retained the oldest names, but those which our plants seem to fit 

 best, so that the "included" names may, for the present, be 

 regarded as synonymous with their superspecies, though, of 

 course, they are not all necessarily technically so. 



The numbers following each species or variety indicate the 

 number of vice-counties from which I have personally seen speci- 

 mens. A second number followed by a ? indicates those in which 

 there is considerable doubt as to the name. These latter are 

 additional to the accepted vice-county records. 



As already explained, I have not ventured to revise the nomen-
