70 RypBerc: Notes on RosackAzE—XIV 
Others have suggested R. blanda Ait., but the true R. blanda is 
a boreal plant and not found on the Missouri, and the leaves 
are dull and pubescent beneath. The R. Woodsii of the Botanical 
Register might sooner be a form of that species. The only 
species that agrees with the description of the original R. Woodsi1 
is the one that Torrey called R. foliosa leicocarpa and in my flora 
of Colorado I called R. Macounii, the same as Greene has des- 
cribed as R. Sandbergii and Lunell as R. deserta® “I also think 
R. fimbriatula Greene belongs here. It is a shrub belonging to 
the Rocky Mountain region but extends eastward to the Missouri 
River. Watson referred it partly to R. Woodsii, partly to R. 
Fendlert. Watson assigned also new characters to R. Woodsit, 
viz. lobed sepals. Notice that Lindley originally described them 
as “‘entire.’’ The lobing or not-lobing of the sepals is a character 
of no value in the Cinnamomea group. In other groups as for 
instance, the Carolina and Canina groups, it is a fairly 
reliable character. Rosa Maximiiliani Nees belongs to this 
species.

23. ROSA TERRENS Lunell 
This species differs from all the species of the Cinnamomiae 
of eastern North America in the stout prickles especially on 
the shoots. The prickles are fully as stout as those of the sweet 
brier. It is only known from the type collection. 
24. RosA Macounrt Greene 
It has been shown that the pubescent plant illustrated by 
Lindley in the Botanical Register under the name R. Woodsii 
has had a very confused nomenclatorial history. Watson 
thought it was the original R. Woodsii and stated that it was 
the same as R. Maximiliani Nees. At the time when I noticed 
the discrepancy in Lindley’s treatments, I thought that Watson's 
statement was correct and adopted the name R. Maximiliani 
for the present species. The name was used in that sense in my
