  Lindley 
  recognized 
  a 
  so-called 
  glabrous 
  R. 
  blanda 
  and 
  described 
  

   it 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  R. 
  fraxhiifolia 
  Borkh., 
  but 
  Borkhausen's 
  

   description 
  does 
  not 
  agree 
  with 
  Lindley^s 
  conception 
  of 
  R.fraxini- 
  

   folia. 
  Neither 
  does 
  C. 
  C. 
  Gmelin's 
  description,* 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  

   cited 
  as 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  R. 
  blanda. 
  Lindley 
  included 
  in 
  this 
  R. 
  

   fraxinifolia 
  not 
  only 
  R. 
  blanda 
  a 
  of 
  Solander's 
  manuscript, 
  i.e., 
  

   the 
  Newfoundland 
  rose, 
  but 
  also 
  the 
  R. 
  blanda 
  described 
  and 
  

   figured 
  by 
  N. 
  J. 
  Jacquinf 
  The 
  former 
  is, 
  as 
  shown 
  by 
  Fernald, 
  

   nothing 
  but 
  R. 
  virginiana 
  Mill, 
  and 
  belongs 
  to 
  a 
  different 
  group, 
  

   the 
  Carolinae, 
  instead 
  of 
  the 
  Cinnamomiae, 
  Jacquin's 
  R. 
  

   blanda 
  is 
  probably 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  the 
  cultivated 
  specimens 
  mentioned 
  

   by 
  Alton. 
  Jacquin 
  described 
  R. 
  blanda 
  as 
  being 
  perfectly 
  glabrous 
  

   both 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  leaves 
  and 
  the 
  hypanthium. 
  His 
  illustration 
  does 
  

   not 
  in 
  any 
  way 
  indicate 
  that 
  his 
  plant 
  was 
  R. 
  virginiana. 
  In 
  

   nearly 
  every 
  respect, 
  it 
  suggests 
  R. 
  blanda, 
  except 
  that 
  both 
  the 
  

   illustration 
  and 
  the 
  text 
  inform 
  us 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  glabrous. 
  Is 
  there 
  

   such 
  a 
  plant, 
  and 
  what 
  name 
  should 
  it 
  bear? 
  As 
  stated 
  before, 
  

   Lindley 
  recognized 
  such 
  a 
  plant, 
  though 
  he 
  erroneously 
  included 
  

   in 
  it 
  R. 
  blanda 
  a 
  of 
  Solander, 
  from 
  Newfoundland, 
  which 
  had 
  a 
  

   glandular 
  bristly 
  hypanthium. 
  Neither 
  can 
  the 
  name 
  which 
  he 
  

   adopted 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  the 
  reason 
  given 
  above. 
  Crepin, 
  who 
  had 
  

   seen 
  the 
  original 
  specimens 
  of 
  R, 
  blanda 
  a, 
  and 
  had 
  written 
  on 
  

   the 
  sheet 
  'Verus 
  R. 
  lucida,'^ 
  i.e., 
  R. 
  virginiana, 
  recognized 
  a 
  

   ■ 
  glabrous 
  R. 
  blanda, 
  and 
  described 
  it 
  as 
  R. 
  blanda 
  glabra. 
  As 
  this 
  

   plant 
  evidently 
  has 
  no 
  valid 
  name, 
  I 
  gave 
  it 
  the 
  name 
  R. 
  subblanda 
  

   in 
  the 
  North 
  American 
  Flora.

  This 
  species 
  is 
  much 
  rarer 
  than 
  R. 
  blanda 
  and 
  wholly 
  confined 
  

   to 
  the 
  Northeast.
