 Jig. 494. The Burgundy Rose. — A dwarf com- 

 pact shrub, with stTfF, ovate, acute, and sharply 

 serrated small leaflets, and very double purple 

 flowers, which are solitary, and have some re- 

 semblance, in form and general appearance, to 

 the flower of a double-flowered Asiatic ranun- 

 culus. Besides these botanical varieties, given 

 in Don's Miller, there are 19 in the Kouveau 

 Du Hamel. 



v. 38. R. pulche'i.la Willd. The neat Rose. 



Identification. Willd. Enum., p. 54.7. ; Don's Mill., 2. p. 573. 



Spec. Char., Sfc. Ovaries roundish-obovate. Peduncles and calyxes beset 

 with glandular bristles. Petioles clothed withglandularpubescence, unarmed. 

 Cauline prickles scattered. {Don's Mill., ii. p. .573.) Native country un- 

 known. Allied to R. turbinata; but the stems are much smaller; the flow- 

 ers also smaller ; and the form of the ovaries is diiferent. Perhaps this is 

 the rose de Meaux of the gardens, or some variety of R. giillica. ^ It is a 

 shrub, 2 ft. high, and produces its flowers in June and July. {Don's Mill., 

 ii. p. 373.) 



Remark. Besides the above species and varieties, and numerous other 

 garden varieties arranged under the different heads, the names of which we 

 have not given, Don enumerates above 700 garden varieties, which he con- 

 siders as "belonging to some of the species of the present section," (See 

 Don's Mill., ii. p. 373.) 



§ vi. Villbscr. 



Derivation. From villosus, villous; in allu.sion to the hairiness of the species. 



Sect. Char. Surculi erect. Prickles straightish. Leaflets ovate or oblong, 

 with diverging serratures. Sepals connivent, permanent. Disk thickened, 

 closing the throat. This division borders equally close upon those of 

 Caninae and Rubiginosae. From both it is distinguished by its root-suckers 

 being erect and stout. The most absolute marks of difference, however, 

 betw°een this and Caninae, exist in the prickles of the present section being 

 straight, and the serratures of the leaves diverging. If, as is sometimes the 

 the case, the prickles of this tribe are falcate, the serratures become more 

 diverging. The permanent sepals are another character by which this tribe 

 may be known from Caninae. Rubiginosae cannot be confounded with 

 the present section, on account of the unequal hooked prickles, and 

 glandular leaves, of the species. Roughness of fruit, and permanence of 

 sepals, are common to both. {Don's Mill., ii. p. 376.)

 rate, approximate, a little villous beneath. 

 Stipules large, clasping the stem or branch.

 ceous red. Peduncles wrinkled and hispid.
