ROSACE. 213 
glabrous on the upper surface, still greyer beneath, hairy only on the 
midrib and principal veins, but thinly scattered all over with green 
viscous glands, the serratures open but not deep, each furnished 
with several fine gland-tipped teeth, the petioles pubescent and 
setose and furnished with 2 or3 falcate aciculi. Stipules glandular 
on the back or even a little pubescent, the upper ones and the 
bracts very large, when the plant is in flower quite hiding the 
short peduncles, the bracts also glandular on the back but not hairy, 
all finely setoso-ciliated. Peduncles very short and quite naked. 
Calyx-tube broadly ovate or subglobose, quite naked, glaucous, 
and tinged with purple. Sepals 3 to # inch long, naked on the 
- back but somewhat hairy towards the edges, the more luxuriant 
ones furnished with 3 or 4 erecto-patent toothed pinne on each 
side, all copiously setoso-ciliated. Petals deep red, the flowers 
measuring about 1 inch across. Styles villose. Fruit subglobose, 
not at all narrowed at the neck, measuring about } inch each way, 
ripening in September, by which time the erecto-patent sepals 
have all fallen. 
“Found by Mr. 8. King in the neighbourhood of Luddenden 
near Halifax, in West Yorkshire.” 
England. Shrub. Summer. 
Of this plant I have seen no specimen, so I have extracted Mr. 
Baker’s description from the “‘ Naturalist,” not venturing to write a 
description contrasting it with the other species without having 
specimens or drawings of the plant before me. 
Mr. Baker considers it as coming near R. sepium, but differing 
in the size, shape, and colour of the leaves, with hairy ribs and peti- 
oles; also in its peculiar bracts, stipules, and peduncles, subglobose 
fruit, slightly hairy sepals, and villose styles. 
Short-pedicelled Rose.

Baker, in Nat. 1864, p. 65. 
Prickles rather numerous, large, slightly curved, nearly equal, 
not intermingled with aciculi and gland-tipped set. Leaflets 
oval, very acutely doubly-serrate, dull greyish-green and sparingly 
pubescent but becoming glabrous when mature above, pale hairy 
on the veins and with numerous viscous glands beneath. Pedicels 
rather long, with oval bracts, thickly clothed with gland-tipped 
aciculi. Styles sparingly hairy. Fruit subglobose or broadly
