kinds ; ranunculus, rosa 

 mundi, sultana ; Tuscany ; 

 the Rosa g. parvifolia, our 

 fig. 586. The village maid, a 

 striped rose, introduced by 

 Mr. Rogers of Southampton, 

 probably belongs to this 

 species. Besides these, there 

 are numerous distinct va- 

 rieties, which will be found 

 described in our first edition. 



The petals of some of the va- 686 . fl . K . par , ifl4H . 

 rieties of this rose are used in 

 medicine, particularly of that called officinal ; which, 

 though not so fragrant as those of the Dutch hundred- 

 leaved rose, another variety, are preferred for their 

 beautiful colour and their pleasant astringency. 



$ vi. ViUbsa. 



Derivation. From w'llosits, villous ; in allusion 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 Rubiginosas. From both it is distinguished by its root-suckers 

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

 between 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 

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

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

 may be known from Caninse. 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. 576.) Deciduous shrubs, mostly
