;202 Mr. Woods on the British Species of Rosa. 



uncinate as in that plant, and the downiness of the young 

 leaves undeceived nie; and one near Potter's Bar in Hert- 

 fordshire, in the autumn of 1814, which I supposed at that 

 time to be R. Borreri. The latter had eight ripe fruit, having 

 probably had at least twelve flowers in a cyme ; on the others 

 I could not find more than four. 

 &. Receptacle elhptical, as setose as the flowerstalk ; peduncles 

 often longer than the bracteae ; leaves densely villous, glan- 

 dular underneath. Sent by Mr. G. Don to Mr. Sabine under 

 the name of R. mollis. 

 I. syhestris. Receptacle along ellipsis, as setose as the peduncle ; 

 peduncle shorter than the bracteae; aculei falcate; leaflets 

 narrower than in «, slightly pubescent above, hairy and 

 rough with glands on the under side ; surculi dark purple. 

 Received by Mr. Sabine from Mr. Donn of Cambridge. 



K. canescens. Receptacle broadly elliptical, nearly smooth; aculei 

 slender, but slightly curved ; leafits elliptic, oblong, concave, 

 very soft, white, with down on both sides, glandular beneath. 

 The calyx-leafits of this variety are very much divided, and 

 have a strong tendency to grow out into leaves ; in some of 

 the early flowers they are, however, nearly simple, with only 

 a few laciniae, broad at the base, lying in a direction parallel 

 to that of the leafits. Stock Gill and Kentmer, Westmore- 

 land, and Pooley-Bridge, Cumbeiland. 



?.. Receptacle broadly elliptical, somewhat attenuated at the 

 base, less setose than the peduncle; aculei falcate ; has much 

 the habit of the following variety. Gathered by Mr. Borrer 

 in Scotland in 1810. 



!«,. Peduncles as long or longer than the bracteae ; receptacle as 

 setose as the peduncle, and generally somewhat attenuated
