246 Brief Remarks on some indigenous Roses. 
In woods and hedges about Newcastle frequent. The 
buds of this species are peculiarly handsome wher 
sufficiently expanded to show the bright-red tints with 
which the outer edge of the white petals is mar ked. 
No. 10. Rosa canina. Willd. Sp. Pl. 2. 1077. Fl. Brit. 2. 540, 
Eng. Bot. 992. 
In hedges common. A 
No. 11. Rosa glaucophylla. Species Nova. 
Calyx permanent ; fruit ovate, smooth. Leaflets ovate 
pointed, doubly serrated, glaucous ; prickles hooked. 
This is a much slenderer, though less trailing briar than 
the foregoing ; its flowers are pale pink, generally in 
pairs or single, and its fruit large. From R. caninu 
it further differs in habit by not having young shoots 
sprouting beyond the blossoms, so as to give them the 
appearance of being axillary. To a rose named 
R. sentricosa by Acharius in the Stockholm Trans-= 
actions it seems more nearly allied than even to R. ca- 
nina; but differs in the fruit being ovate, not globu- 
lar, and the segments of its calyx less divided, This 
was sent me by Dr. Swartz, with the following re- 
mark: “R. canina proxima, sed fructus subrotun- 
dus et aculei rectiores.” 1 make no doubt the former 
has been often overlooked as a variety of the Dog 
Rose; it also resembles R. cesia of English Botany, 
t. 2367, but differs in many points, besides having 
smooth, not downy leaves. By Mr. Woods, a gentle- 
man who has paid particular attention to this genus, 
: I am likewise assured they are distinct. ~ 
No. 12. Rosa dumetorum. Eng. Bot. 2579. 
Tp a hedge on Friars-goose Quay helow Gateshead, pro- 
bably brought there with ballast from the south of 
England. This rose is accurately delineated in Eng- 
lish Botany, but the calyx is long permanent on the 
fruit. No doubt can exist of its bemg different from 
every other British species. Like R. canina it fre- 
quently throws out long leading shoots which soon 
overtop the bunches of flowers. 
No. 13. Rosa alba. Willd. Sp. Pl. 2. 1030. 
Naturalized ina wood by the Tyne, above Hebburn Quay,
