Yunnan: " Ge-choui-tang, alt. 2450 m., April 1911," E. E. Maire (type of 

 R. gechouitangensis Leveill6); "Ou-long, alt. 2500 m., April 1911," E. E. Maire 

 (type of R. oulengensis Leveill^); " Haies de Tong-tchouan et de La-kou, alt. 

 2400-2500 m., March and April 1911," E. E. Maire (type of R. tongtchouanensis 

 Leveill6); Mengtsze, cultivated?, A. Henry (No. 10828; climber, pink flowers). 



This Rose in various forms is commonly cultivated in western Yunnan and 

 doubtless from there has been introduced to other parts of China, notably to the 

 sea-board; from there it was first taken to Europe and to other parts of the world. 

 Forms are semi-double or very double and in color are white, yellow, buff or pale 

 rose-pink or combinations of these colors. The leaves have 5-7 leaflets. 



The differences on which Leveille relies for the establishment of his species here 

 quoted do not hold good in the specimens before us; indeed, so nearly identical 

 are they that they might have been collected from the same bush.
