38 REVISION OF SECTION TOMENTOSA OF THE GENUS ROSA.

oval. I cannot see the under surface of the leaves." 
2nd. ki Switzerland, Schleicher. 
"Leaves less hairy above than in No. 1, hairy and very glandulose 
over the whole under-surfaced petioles coarsely glandular; the bracts 
are less hairy on the back, and the leaves less hairy above than No. 1 ; 
calyx the same." 
3rd. "County of Nottingham, rather common. G. Jellow, 1824. 
"Petioles very glandulose, and covered with numerous prickles; 
calyx-tube broader and shorter. This is, I think, your Bosa cuspidata,

6th. " County of Cambridge. Rev. — Holme, 1801. 
"Leaves hairy above, strongly glandulose, and somewhat hairy 
beneath ; bracts very glandulose on the back, and the prickles curved ; 
calyx-tube oval. This specimen is quite different from the others, and 
resembles either Jundzilliana or an allied form. 
7th. " Anglesea, 1802. Rev. H. Davies. 
" Either your tomentosa or very near it ! A few strong glands on 
the petiole and the under surface of the leaf; ripe fruit ovoid, and the 
calyx-segments are still persistent o:i one of the specimens. 
" 1 may then say that the seven specimens represent five different 
forms ■ 2, 4, and 5 being the most common in England, and in English 
herbaria ; none of them being exactly either your tomentosa or your 
cuspidata, but something intermediate between them." (J. G. Baker, 
Letter, 6th February, 1865.) 
The seven specimens of Smith's Herbarium throw no light on this 
special question. Smith has taken for his type the rarest form, with- 
out troubling himself about the other species which might be included 
in R. villosa, L. ; I am led to form this opinion from having received 
from Mr. Baker in 1865, R. tomentosa, from Westmoreland, such as it 
is known amongst the greater proportion of authors. It does not follow 
that because Nos. 2, 4, and 5 are, according to Mr. Baker, the most com- 
mon forms in ngland, they should be united under Smith's species, 
rather than under any other ; for the English specimens which I have re- 
ceived, under the name of R. tomentosa, are literally loaded with glands
