86 ROSA RUBIGINOSA. 
consider this the real eglanteria of Linnzus, and have 
continued that name in preference to Miller's. As far 
as the authority of the Linnzan herbarium goes, they 
have it in their favour. But I nevertheless prefer fol- 
lowing Willdenow and others in retaining the name 
lutea, rather than one which is by no means either ex- 
pressive or generally adopted; and, if we may judge 
from what Linnzeus says in the first edition of Species 
Plantarum, he at that time had rubiginosa in view. 
It is known at first sight by its branches with foliage 
only at the extremities, prickles usually several under 
the stipulz, and leaflets which are hollow like the bowl 
of a spoon. The only spontaneous specimens I have 
seen were gathered near Avignon by M. Requien, and 
are in the possession of Mr. Hooker.
