229 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
13. Rosa Crepiniana. Déséglise. 
Baker, in Nat. 1864, p. 97. 
Stems arching; prickles stout, hooked. Leaflets oval or ellip- 
tical, glaucous-green and glabrous above, more glaucous and 
glabrous beneath, sharply and simply or imperfectly doubly ser- 
rate, scarcely any of the serratures gland-tipped; petioles nearly 
destitute of hairs or gland-tipped sete, but with a few prickles. 
Stipules and bracts glabrous, sparingly ciliated with small gland- 
tipped teeth. Pedicels glabrous, short, rather shorter than the 
bracts. Styles densely woolly. Fruit turning scarlet early in Sep- 
tember. Sepals leaf-pointed and copiously pinnate, naked or with 
a few gland-tipped sete on the outside, tomentose on the margins, 
scarcely or not at all ciliated with gland-tipped setze, mostly adhering 
until the fruit is fully ripe. 
Hedges in North-east Yorkshire. 
Mr. Baker finds plants similar to the above, but with a few 
gland-tipped aciculi on the pedicels, at Wood-end, Thirsk, and 
Chesterholme, Northumberland. 
Group IV.—EU-CANINA. Baker. 
Leaves without glands beneath. Pedicels naked, or only acci- 
dentally with a few aciculi or gland-tipped setee. Fruit stone-hard 
when green, ripening in the end of September or October. Sepals 
reflexed after the petals fall, and deciduous before the fruit changes 
colour. 
14. Rosa canescens. Baker. 
Baker, in Nat. 1864, p. 97. 
Stems arching ; prickles stout, hooked. Leaflets oval-elliptical, 
firm, sparingly hairy when young but sub-glabrous and greyish- 
green when mature above, paler and closely pubescent beneath, 
sharply and shallowly doubly serrate, with the secondary serratures 
gland-tipped ; petioles thinly woolly, with a few gland-tipped sete. 
Stipules and bracts pubescent beneath, ciliated with gland-tipped 
sete. Pedicels naked, longer than the bracts. Styles hairy. 
Fruit roundish-ovoid, ripening in October. Sepals leaf-pointed 
and copiously pinnate, pubescent on the outside, ciliated with 
gland-tipped setze, falling before the fruit is ripe. 
Near Thirsk, Yorkshire.
