ROSA. 



Mo»t of tlie new records in this list were supplied to us by the late Rev. 

 C. II. A'addeli who also looked ov»'r the draft copy and wrote the accompanying 

 note. The final arrangement and noinenclaturo were sugtcested by Lt. Col. 

 Wf'Ucy- Dod, who kindly revised the list on the lines of his latest suggestions on 

 this difficult group. The present list follows the onler of his " l{evised 

 .\rrangenicnt of Hritish Roses'" 1920, and he has named most of those in the 

 li.si. A few have het^n named hy Rev. .\. Ley. A record followed by the 

 sign I inilic.itfi- tliat it hu.s been named by one or other of these antiiorities. 



Mr. Waduei.l's Note. 



Tile airangenient of British Roses given below is far from complete and 

 not so advanced as that of the Brambles. Much has still to be done in correlating 

 British and (.'ontineTital species. Some of our forms do not exactly correspond 

 with tlic Continental forms under which they have been placed and the names 

 given in these cases are provisional. 



The group hn'oluta is widely spread in Co. .Vntrim. There are many 

 forms of the groups ^Arwrrt', tomeulosa and mollis in the district: corit folia is 

 not common ; caniua forms do not appear to be so numerous as in England. 

 Now that the older species have been split up into subspecies older records will 

 require re-examination. 



Reference should be made to the following papers by \,\.. Col. Wolley- 

 Dod, which appeared us Supplements to \\\b Journal of Botany and have been 

 published separately.

 (excluding Eu-canina) " 1910. '-A List of British Roses" 1911 (which
