196 Mr. WooBs on (he British Species of Rosa. 



I do not find any description to M'liich tins Rose can be referred. 

 It seems to be called Jv. villuso by the Scotch botanists ; but that 

 name being appropriated to another species, I have given to the 

 present plant the name of E. heteraphylla, expressive of a charac- 

 ter which it usually presents, and which gives to it a certain pecu- 

 liarity of habit when compared with an}' other British species. 



The Roses most nearly allied to this are R.villosa, R. scabriiis- 

 cula, and Jt. tovientosa. From the first and last of these a proper 

 attention to the leafits of the calyx will distinguish it; and from 

 R. scabriwictila, as well as from the two others, the remarkable 

 shape frequently occurriug in the leaflet, and the narrow bractetc.

Like the foregoing, this Rose seems to have been unnoticed by 

 preceding authors. It is easily discriminated by its crenate 

 petals from all other British Roses : but this character it may be 

 difficult to determine in the Herbarium, as the petals of Roses 

 are apt to fall off, and when preserved generally shrivel very 

 much in drying. The shape of the receptacle and the shortness
