26 ROSA FRAXINIFOLIA. 
figure has been published of the plant before us, and 
on that account I should certainly have given one from 
dried specimens, had I not thought it better to trust 
to its again making its appearance in a fresh state, 
since there is little doubt of its still existing in this 
country. 
I have never seen the prickles red, as they are said 
to be by Sir James Smith. Possibly he described them 
from Miss Lawrance’s figure, which looks like R. 
nitida. 
Mr. Menzies found this on the north-west coast of 
N. America, and specimens gathered in Hudson’s Bay 
are in the possession of Sir Joseph Banks.
