back, slightly hairy towards the edge, slightly setoso-ciliated, falling 
by the time the fruit has become scarlet, which is late in September. 
Styles hairy. By the passage down of its prickies into small slender 
aciculi, this recedes from canina in the direction of Hibernica. Of 
named forms it is nearest the French R. Schultzii-Bipont. (Déségl. 
Monogr. p. 66), which has similar prickles in combination with 
roundish leaflets, almost unarmed slightly hairy petioles, a small 
round fruit, which ripens very early, and subpersistent, sparingly pin- 
nate sepals. There is a specimen of a similar plant without any in- 
dication of locality among the British Roses of the late Mr. Hail- 
stone, of Bradford, who paid great attention to the genus for many 
years, though he never published the results of his investigations. 
Rosa systyla. Sent by Mr. W. Richardson from the neighbonstiood 
of Alnwick, Northumberland. This extends considerably the northern 
limit of the species in this country, as it was not clearly known beyond 
Worcester. 
Agrimonia mese Mill. One large plant found by the side of a 
private road, south of Virginia Water Station, Surrey; H. C. Watson. 
New to the county. 
Epilobium roseum, Schreb. A garden weed, Manchester; Dr. 
Windsor. New to sub-province 21 of Cyb. Br. Supp. j 
E. lanceolatum, Seb. In three lanes leading out of Bowler Green, 
between Witley Station and Thursley, Surrey; H. C. Watson. The 
species is now extinct in the only locality given in the Surrey Flora. 
This new locality restores it to the flora of the county. 
Valeriana officinalis, L. Mr. Watson contributes a series of speci- 
mens from five different localities in Surrey, sent in order to illustrate 
the two subspecies or varieties Mikanii and sambucifolia. Me says, 
“ V. sambucifolia is the prevailing form in Surrey, and probably in al- 
most all other counties of Britain. V. Mikanii is distinguished by its 
leaflets being usually more numerous, narrower, and less dentate, but 
as it passes from the firm ground of coppices and hillsides into adja- 
cent dug or disturbed ground, the leaflets decrease in number and in- 
crease in width and abitatian until they equal those of sambucifolia, 
as it occurs in deep bogs or watery ditches. Roots and fruit are alike 
in both."
