REVISION OF SECTION TOMENTOSA OF THE GENUS ROSA. 7 7 
acuminate, 3 entire, 2 lobate; styles short, hairy; flowers small, of a 
beautiful rose colour, yellowish in the centre ; fruit round, red, hairy, 
crowned with the patent connivent and persistent segments of the 
calyx. 
This plant differs from R. pomifera in the leaflets being covered 
below with resinous glands, the tube of the calyx, and the smaller red 
fruit. 
June, July. Mountainous underwoods. Westerdale, between Thirsk 
and Woodend, Yorkshire {Baker). France, Belgium. 
Mr. J. G. Baker says (in litt. 13th April, 1865), regarding the plant 
distributed by Reichenbach as Rosa resinosa, n. 1271 : — "I cannot 
at all distinguish it from R. pomifera. The petioles are very hairy, 
the ripe fruit is quite round, measuring fully an inch, tube of the calyx 
and peduncles very aciculate. Sepals always adhering to the ripe fruit. 
It resembles R. pomifera, Fries, Herb. Norm. fasc. ix. n. 47/' 
If the specimen distributed by Reichenbach resembles that published 
by Fries, Reichenbach's plant would then be R. pomifera, for n. 47, 
fasc. ix. Herb. Norm, has the leaves without glands below, but 
Reichenbach must thus have described another plant in his ■ Flora Ex- 
cursoria/ since he says : — " Fructu globoso pedunculoque hispido, la- 
ciniis calycinis integris, fol!olis ovato-ellipticis, duplicato glandulo- 
serratis viridibus pubescentibus, subtus sparsim glandulosis." I do 
not know the plant distributed by Reichenbach.
