210 Mr. Woods on the British Species of Rosa. 



in the family of R. tomentosa. R. micrmitha has also considerable 

 affinity with R. Borreri : it may however be distinguished from 

 that species by the much stronger and more numerous setae of the 

 peduncle generally extending on the fruit, by the narrower pinnse 

 of the calyx, and by the glands covering the whole under surface 

 of the leaf; the general colour of the plant is also a paler and 

 yellower green. 



R. sempervirens. Roth Fl. Germ. i. 218. ii. 556; R. umhellata. 

 Lam. et Dec. FL Fr. vi. 532, seems to be allied to this plant, but 

 caii hardly be identified either with this or with R. Eglanieria. 

 It mifht be expected that the Rose mentioned in the account of 

 R. Eglanieria as having been gathered by Mr. Borrer and Mr. 

 Hooker in different parts of France, would be found among the 

 descriptions of the French botanists; but I cannot refer it with 

 confidence either to R. sepittm or R. timbellata. If distinct, we 

 may consider this subdivision of the large family of R. canina, 

 distinguished by compound serratures and glands under the whole 

 surface of the leaf, as composed of four species ; R. Eglanieria, 

 R. micrantha, R. umbelluta, and one yet unnamed. I dare not 

 at present admit R. sepium among the number.
