lour; and it is remarkable that R. collina and R. sarmeniacea 

 are not unfrequentlj to be observed of a habit somewhat in- 

 termediate between these varieties; so that if at first sight 

 the young botanist should doubt whether he has the waxy 

 or shining-leaved variety of R.canina, it is highly probable 

 that a closer investigation will prove it to be one or the 

 other of those species. 



y. glandulifera. Peduncle, receptacle, and calyx furnished with 

 glands, or rather with weak setae, which are most abundant 

 on the latter.— Near Potter's Bar, Hertfordshire; at Pound's- 

 Bridge, near Penshurst in Kent; near Ambleside in West- 

 moreland. Mr. Borrer gathered a Ilose nearly resembling 

 these specimens, and which must be referred to this variety, 

 but with the calyx-leafits narrower and less divided, at the 

 Pass of Lanrick. 



J. Branches, stipulae, and petioles of a vinous red. Not rare in 

 hedges and bushy places, generally in a barren soil. 



6. Receptacle subglobose; leaflets ovate, or lanceolato-ovate, 

 acute, with very little appearance of the small twisted acu- 

 men. This Rose certainly does not accord well with the other 

 varieties of R. canina : the shape of the leaflets, and their very 

 irregular glandular serratures, united with the general habit, 

 would almost justify an observer in attributing it to R. col- 

 lina; and with this notion the subglobose fruit is not incon- 

 sistent ; but the petiole veins and inferior surface of the leaf- 

 lets are entirely without hairs. In some respects it resembles 

 R. surculosa; but the leaflets are not flat, and the aculei of 

 the petioles are rarely more than falcate. Near Tun bridge- 

 Wells.
