2294, ENGLISH BOTANY. 
In hedges. Common near Thirsk, Yorkshire, and probably 
generally distributed. 
17. Rosa uncinella. Zess. 
Baker, in Nat. 1864, p. 95. 
* Habit of growth and prickles of the normal R.canina. Leaves 
flat, grey-green, slightly-hairy on the upper surface when young, but 
glabrous when mature, greyer still and hairy all over beneath, so 
that the edge is ciliated, firm in texture, the serrations simple, 
spreading and open, as broad as they are deep, callous at the tips, 
the terminal leaflet broadly oval or obovate, much rounded at the 
base; the petioles villous, but hardly at all glandular, furnished 
usually with 2 or 3 hooked prickles. Stipules and bracts slightly 
hairy on the back, dentate but hardly at all gland-ciliated. 
Peduncles naked. Calyx-tube and fruit large, broadly elliptical or 
subglobose, the green fruit rather more pliable than in R. platy- 
phylla. The sepals reflexed after the petals fall, leaf-pointed and 
fully pinnate, tomentose, and slightly glandular on the back, hardly 
at all setoso-ciliated. Styles villous.” —(Baker, /. c.) 
Banks of the Yore, at Aysgarth Force, North-west Yorkshire. 
18. Rosa platyphylla. Rau. 
Baker, in Nat, 1864, p. 95. 
Stem arching; prickles stout, hooked. Leaflets broadly oval or 
obovate-oval, rather firm, flat, greyish-green and glabrous above, 
glaucous and thinly -hairy beneath, sharply deeply and irregu- 
larly serrate, the serratures not gland-tipped; petioles thinly 
woolly, with gland-tipped sete and prickles. Stipules and bracts 
thinly-hairy on the back, with a few gland-tipped sete on the 
margins, but not regularly ciliated. Pedicels naked, as long as or 
shorter than the bracts. Styles villose. Sepals leaf-pointed, pin- 
nate, nearly destitute of gland-tipped setz on the edges. The 
mature fruit has not been seen either by Mr. Baker or myself, but 
is described by M. Déséglise as ovoid, with the sepals falling before 
maturity. 
At Giggleswick and Settle, West Yorkshire. 
Of this plant I have only seen imperfect specimens.
