42 CALYCIFLOBJG. 



limestone rocks. This plant generally puzzles young botanists 

 by its curious compound-looking head of flowers. The lower 

 flowers of the head are all male, the upper, female. Abundant 

 on the Eock walk, Torquay. (E. B. t. 860.) P. vi.-vm. 



AGRXMONIA. AGEIMONY. 



A. Eupatoria (common A.) On roadsides, waste places, 

 and borders of meadows, frequent. It varies considerably in the 

 hairiness of its foliage, the size of its flowers, and the form of its 

 ripe calyx. Warberry Hill. Hills above Meadfoot. Ansti's 

 Cove Lane. Cockington. (E. B. t. 1335.) P. vi. vn. 



A. ODOEATA of Mill (Ansti's Cove, Mr. C. Parker) : larger 

 than the last, with scented flowers. 



TEIBE IY. EOSE.&. 



Bentham, in his introductory remarks on the Hoses, says that 

 *'even in the wild state, endeavours have been made to charac- 

 terize so large a number of proposed species, that the confusion 

 among them is almost as great as in the Brambles. The forms 

 indigenous to Britain appear to be reducible to five types, which 

 are probably real species. It must however be admitted, that 

 the characters separating them are not so decided as could be 

 wished, and that specimens will occasionally be found that the most 

 experienced botanist will be at a loss to determine, and certainly 

 not the less so if the number of British species be extended as 

 proposed, to 15 or 20," 



ROSA. EOSE, DOG-EOSE, SWEETBEIAE. 



1. R. spinosissima (Bur net-leaved R,.} In dry bushy 

 wastes, most common near the sea. Leaflets very small, from 7 

 to 9 to each leaf. Flowers small, whitish or pink, solitary, sweet- 

 scented. Cliff walks near Ansti's Cove. Hope's Nose. (Rosa 

 pimpinellifolia, Linn.) (E. B. 1. 187.) Sh. v. 



2. R. mbiginosa (true Sweetbriar.) In hedges, thickets, 

 and open, bushy places, in the south of England chiefly. More 

 slender in its growth than the Dog-Hose ; its prickles curved or 

 hooked. The scent often very faint in the wild state. Ansti's 

 Cove. Thickets at Chudleigh, where also R. micrantha, of Hooker 

 and Arnott, is to be found. Lustleigh. (E. B. t. 991 and t. 2490.)
