3. Rosa Engelmanni Watson.—Specimens of this were ob- 
tained last year at Pine, Ind., with oblong-obovate fruit. 
Those seen before in this vicinity have nearly always had ob- 
long fruit, as mentioned in a former communication to the 
BOTANICAL GAZETTE (XV, 310.) The canes were from four 
to eight feet high, and closely resembled in foliage and fruit 
taller examples of this rose seen at Vermilion Lake, Minn., in 
1889. As compared with R. d/anda, it is usually a taller and 
more robust shrub, with abundant leafage, the stems, partic- 
ularly the lower part, often densely covered with fine 
prickles. It prefers damper and generally more shaded situ- 
ations, approaching in this respect R. Carolina. It partakes 
of another character of R. Carolina, which is not so common 
In the case of R. blanda, that of frequently being massed in 
iarge clumps, and occupying the ground quite exclusively. 
detected this rose last year at Rogers Park, near the lake 
shore in the northern part of Chicago.

Calumet river, near Porter, Ind. It has not before been Te 
ported from this part of the state, nor from the vicinity of 
Chicago, though said by Dr. Phinney to be common in 
eastern-central part of Indiana. Only one locality he io 
signed to it in Michigan, on the authority of Winchell’s cat 
alogue. :
