BAKER ON BRITISH ROSES. lOH 



gland-tipped teeth, the terminal leaflet ovate or obovate, either rounded at 

 the base or narrowed from below the middle, the petioles both prickly and 

 rather pubescent, and copiously setose. Stipules and bracts both hairy 

 and somewhat glandular on the back, copiously setoso-ciliated. Peduncles 

 sometimes naked, sometimes with a few weak prickles and setae, short and 

 often hidden by the bracts and stipules. Calyx tube naked, ovate or elliptical 

 urceolate, the petals deeper coloured and smaller than in the type, and 

 wavy towards the borders. Sepals one or two simple, the others copiously 

 pinnate and leaf-pointed, all slightly glandular on the back, hairy towards 

 the edges and copiously setoso-ciliated, erecto-patent after the petals fall. 

 Fruit ovate or elliptical, ripening early in September, most of the sepals 

 adhering until after it changes colour. Styles villose. Hedges at 

 Sowerby, N. E. Yorkshire. This in many points comes near to R. Borreri, 

 but the leaves are different in shape and texture, the underside very 

 slightly glandular, the peduncles hardly at all aciculate and the sepals are 

 subpersistent. 



21. Pi. Blondaana, liipart. R. trachyphylla, Boreau in part. Stems 

 dark purple and glaucous where exposed, branches more divaricated 

 than in the normal plant, and the prickles less robust and less curved. 

 Leaves somewhat glaucous -green above, decidedly glaucous beneath, 

 glabrous on both sides, but glandular on the midrib, and a little over the 

 surface beneath, the serrations moderately sharp and open, each with two 

 or three fine gland-tipped teeth, the terminal leaflet typically ovate or rather 

 obovate, the petioles prickly and densely setose but not hairy. Stipules 

 and bracts not haiiy but a little glandular on the back, copiously setoso- 

 ciliated. Peduncles slightly aciculate and setose. Calyx tube naked, 

 subglobose, the sepals leaf-pointed and copiously pinnate, glandular all 

 over the back, erecto-patent after the petals fall. Fruit obovate or sub- 

 globose, turning scarlet early in September, by which time some of the 

 sepals have fallen, but others remain. St3'les rather thickly hairy. Hedge 

 at Kilvington, North-east Yorkshire, and I have gathered a very similar 

 plant, but with an aciculate calyx tube, both in Perthshire and Aberdeen- 

 shire. This and the last agree with Subsection TI in the character of the 

 fruit, but Nos. 17, 18, and 19 with Subsection I.
