Mr. Woods on the British Species of Hdsa. I95 



more pnrticularly pointed out in Engl. Bot. ; as the specimens 

 Mhicii 1 have received tVoni Mr. Winch, the original discoverer, 

 are hoary with a velvety down, and exceedingly soft on both 

 sides — perhaps even more so than is nsual in any other spe- 

 cies ; and those which I have gathered myself agree with them in 

 this as in every other particular. Mr, Winch also in his Botanist's 

 Guide describes the leaflets as densely covered with down. I 

 have reason to believe that the plants gathered by Sir J. E. Smith 

 near St. Edmund's Bury, which in Engl. Bot. are attributed 

 to this species, rather belong to R. tomentosu v of this essay. 

 ■J'iie extreme variableness of this latter species (the Rose I have 

 had the most opportunities of examining under dirt'erent circum- 

 stances) induces me however to attach very little importance to 

 this peculiarity in the pubescence. 



10. Rosa iieteropiiylla. 



R. receptaculis subglobosis, calycibus subcompositis, aculeis rec- 

 tiusculis subiEqualibus, bracteis lanccolatis. 



Fhitex 7 — 9-pedalis. Rami \ag\, pallide fuseo-olivacei, aciileati; aculei subfalcati 1,2, 

 V. 3 singula ad internodia caulis, plerumque ad basin foliotum. Pelioli toinentosi, 

 glandulosi, rarissinie hie illic aculeo minimo recto muniti. SlipulcB lineares, aciitse, 

 tomentosae, glanduloso-serratae, interdum pagina inferiore glandulosiB ; eae floribus 

 proximae vix ceteris latiores, qiianquam interdum deficiant folia. Foliola .5 v. 7, par 

 superius et foliolum impar ceteris majora, nunc elliptica, nunc forma obovato-oblonga, 

 basi rotundata, insigniter variantia, duplicato-serrata, utrinque molliter hirsuta, glan- 

 dulosa. Pedimcidi 1 v. 2, nunc glabri, nunc setis inaquaiibus obsiti, bracteas aequantes 

 vel eas superantes. Receptaculum subglobosum, nunc glabrum nunc setosum, setis 

 fortioribus quam quae in pedunculo inveniuntur munitum. Calycis foliola pinnata vel 

 subpinnata, petalis longiora, basi setosa, sursum glandulosa. Flores expansos non 

 vidi ; petala alba sanguineo-maculata, Slyli inclusi, stigmatibus convexis. Fructits 

 globosus. 



Found by Mr. W. Borrer at Collington near Edinburgh, and else- 

 where in that neighbourhood ; also at Finlarig*
