68 RypBerc: Notes on RosAcEAE—XIV 
MINNESOTA: Duluth, Rydberg 8004; St. Louis River, 
Carlton County, Sandberg 130; Two Harbors, E. P. Sheldon. 
19. ROSA BLANDA Ait. 
This species is confined within the region to the hardwood 
groves in the northern part. I can see no difference between 
the specimens from North Dakota, on which R. gratiosa Lunell 
was based, and those from the Eastern States. 
MINNEsOTA: Lake Minnetonka, Sandberg, 798; Thompson, 
Carlton County, — 307; Minneapolis, 1895, E. P. Sheldon; 
Lake Itasca, G. B. Ait 
NortH DAKoTA: near St. John, Rolette County, 1912, 
Lunell (R. gratiosa); Pleasant Lake, Benson County, 1912, 
Lunell; Turtle Mountains, 1912, Lunell; Bottineau, 1890, Waldron. 
MANIToBA: Oak River, Macoun & Herriot 70937; six miles 
east of Forest, Macoun & Herriot 70040. 
20. ROSA SUBBLANDA Rydberg 
It is questionable if this species should be included among 
the prairie roses, as the following specimens are referred to it 
with considerable doubt. 
Iowa: Grinell, 1877, M. E. Jones. 
21. RosA FENDLERI Crépin 
This species is related to R. Woodsii and often confused 
with it. It is distinguished by the glandular stipules, petioles, 
and leaf-rachis. Watson distinguished it from R. Woodsii by 
the entire instead of lobed sepals. In both species they are 
either entire or lobed. R. neomexiana, R. arizonica, R. puberu- 
lenta and R. granulifera have been confused with it, but these 
all have curved prickles, while in R. Fendleri they are longer 
and more slender, straight or nearly so. R. Fendleri is a common 
species in the Rockies, ranging from Montana to northern 
Mexico. It extends eastward also into the plains and prairies 
and was redescribed from North Dakota by Lunell as R. poetica.
