132 ROSACEiE. 



A frequent species in the immediate neighbourhood of Plymouth, and 

 found also over all the enclosed and wooded tracts. Sometimes the 

 petals of the flowers are multiplied so as to give them a semi-double 

 appearance.

 D. III. Banks of the Tavy and Denham Bridge ; Keys^ Fl. ii. 141 ; still 

 in plenty m damp spots in a wood a little above Lophill, 1875.

EOSA, L. 



270. R. spinosissima, L. Common Burnet Rose. 



Native ; in bushy and rocky spots close to the coast line. Very 

 rare and local. Jmie. 



0. II. On a mass of rock above Whitsand Bay, near Rame Head ; in a 

 bushy and rocky spot at Penlee Point ; also on a bank above 

 the road through the plantation between the Point and Caw- 

 sand. Hedge by the road from Rame Church to Rame Head ; 

 first noticed by 3Irs. Baker when on a visit to the neighbour- 

 hood of Plymouth m 1871. 



D. VI. On a dry bank or low cliff on the eastern side of the Erme 

 estuary, very stunted, and in no great quantity, growing with 

 Calainagrostis Fpigeios, 1876. In two low hedges by the 

 bridle-way on the western side of the vale between Okinbury 

 farm-house, near Kmgston, and Bigbury Bay ; a form with 

 the peduncles and lower-portion of the calyx-tube more or less 

 setose and aciculate. 

 I have never met with either flowers or fruit on the plant occurring 



by the Erme estuary, so know not if it is the form with aciculate 



peduncles or not, like the other growing in the neighbourhood. This is 



said by Baker to be quite rare in Britain.

 A\idely distributed. Jmie, part of July.
