a 28. R. SANGUISORBIFO'LIA Donn. The Burnet-leaved Rose. 



Identification. Donn Hort. Cant, ed. 8. p. 169. ; Don's Mill., 2. p. -569. 



Synonymes. It. spinosissima var. i sanguisorbifblia Lindl. JKos. t p. 51. ; R. spinos. var. macrophylla 

 Ser. in Dec. Prod., 2. p. 609. 



Spec. Char., 4*c. Tall. Prickles nearly equal. Leaflets 9 11, oblong, glabrous, simply serrated. 

 Fruit globose, depressed, dark. (Don's Mill., ii. p. 569.) Flowers white. This plant is easily dis- 

 tinguished from the last, by the greater number of its leaflets, the shortness of its peduncles, and 

 by its globose depressed fruit. It is a shrub, from 3ft. to 5 ft. high, and flowering in May and June.

 Spec. Char., fyc. Branches without bristles. Prickles nearly equal, 



distant. Leaflets flat, glabrous, simply serrated. (Don's Mill., ii. 



p. 569.) Flowers white. Fruit dark. Native of Siberia. Introduced 



in 1818 ; growing to the height of from 4 ft. to 6 ft., and flowering in 



May and June. Of this rose Dr. Lindley remarks, that it differs from 



R. spinosfssima, though scarcely so much as to render it a distinct 



species. " However," he says, " it is too remarkable a plant to es- 

 cape notice ; and, if it should hereafter be reduced to R. spinosissima, 



it must stand as a distinct variety." (Ros. Monog., p. 54.) There are 



plants bearing this name in the collection of Messrs. Loddiges, which 



are very distinct in their appearance, and therefore it may safely be 



recommended to the notice of the botanical cultivator ; and we think 



that even our engraving, small as it is, will justify the recommendation.

 Spec. Char., $c. Prickles unequal, larger ones dag- 

 ger-formed. Leaflets glandular, glabrous, orbicular. 



(Don's Mill., ii. p. 569.) Flowers white. Native of 



Dauphine, and near Montpelier. Introduced in 



1820; growing from 1 ft. to Sift, high, and flowering 



in May and June. According to Dr. Lindley, this 



rose forms a diminutive shrub, with almost simple 



and erect shoots, resembling, in many respects, R. 



spinosissima in a stunted state ; though the glands 



on its leaves appear sufficient to prevent the two 



sorts from being mistaken for each other. (Ros. 



Monog., p. 55.) There are many varieties of R. 



spinosissima in the collection of Messrs. Loddiges, 



but none of them bearing this name ; nor is it in their Catalogue as a separate species.
