98. R. sempervirens Rau enum. 120. 
Probably a variety of R. rubiginosa with prostrate 
shoots, naked leaves and stipule. It is astonishing 
that so well-known a plant as R. sempervirens with 
evergreen, shining leaves, united styles and white 
flowers, should be confounded with a plant having de- 
ciduous leaves, disunited styles and red flowers. 
99. R. trachyphylla Raw enum. 124. 
Undoubtedly referable to some variety of R. rubi- 
ginosa, differing, however, in having unusually com- 
pound serratures to the leaves, and prickles infrastipu- 
lary. it can scarcely be R. sepium, as its leaflets are 
said to be rounded at the base. 
100. R. Orbessanea Redout. ros. 2. 21. c. fig. 
Appears to be some garden production and possibly 
a variety of R. gallica; with which it agrees in sepals, 
habit, and in some measure in prickles; but differs in 
shape of fruit. R. turbinata has the same sort of fruit, 
but disagrees with this in so many respects that they 
can scarcely be considered the same species.
