EUCALYPTUS TREES. 889 
Rosa Gallica, L.—The French or Dutch rose. Mid- 
dle and South Europe, Orient. The intensely-colored 
buds of this species are particularly chosen for drying. 
These, however, may be got also from other kinds of 
roses. 
Rosa Indica, L.—Noisette Rose. From Upper In- 
dia to China and Japan. Some roses of the sweetest 
scent are derived from this species. 
Rosa levigata, Michaux. (R. Sinica, Aiton.)—The 
Cherokee Rose. China and Japan. Considered one 
of the best hedge-roses, and for that purpose much 
employed in North America. It serves also well for 
bowers. Allied to the foreguing species. 
Rosa moschata, Miller.— North Africa and South 
Asia as far east as Japan. From the flowers of this 
extremely tall, climbing species, also, essential oil is 
obtained. The attar thus derived from roses of not 
only different varieties but even distinct species must 
necessarily be of various quality. 
Rosa sempervirens, L.—From South Europe through 
Southern Asia to Japan. One of the best rose-bush- 
es for covering walls, fences, and similar structures, 
Also, the flowers of this species can be utilized for 
rose-oil. 
Rosa setigera, Michaux.—North America, where it 
is the only climbing rose-bush. It deserves intro- 
duction on account of its extremely rapid growth, 10 
feet to 20 feet in a season. Its flowers, however, are 
nearly inodorous. 
Other original species of Roses deserve our atten- 
tion, Dr. J. Hooker admitting about 30, all from the 
northern hemisphere. But on the snow- clad, un- 
ascended mountains of Borneo, Sumatra, New Guinea,
