ROSACEAE. — ROSA 335 



The specimens quoted above cannot be referred to R. damascena Linnaeus; the 

 pectinate stipules and the exserted styles connate into a glabrous column show their 

 close relationship to R. multiflora. They are apparently nearest to R. multiflora, 

 var. cathaycnsis, but differ in the underside of the leaflets being covered with a 

 soft villose pubescence, in their more crenate serration and in the color of the 

 flowers being sometimes white.

 Quelpaert, Mokan, June 8, 1908, Taquct (Nos. 770, in part, 778 (ex Leveill^), type 

 of R. mokanensis) ; Quelpaert, Hogno, May and June 1909, Taquet (Nos. 2870, 

 type of R. quelpaertensis, 2871). 



This variety differs from the type chiefly in its much smaller, usually obovate 

 leaflets rounded at the apex and in its smaller flowers. In its general appearance it 

 resembles the following species, but is easily distinguished by the pectinate stipules, 

 the thinner, lighter green leaflets not lustrous above and by the pubescent styles. 

 Taquet's No. 770 consists partly of R. Wichuraiana and partly of this variety, 

 and his No. 772 consists of R. Wichuraiana and a form intermediate between var. 

 quelpaertensis and typical R. multiflora.
