1894. ] Botanical Notes from Bainbridge. 5 
A curious rose. 
A neighboring planter, Mr. Griffin, has arose bush bearing 
constantly green roses. The calyx is fairly normal. The 
outer petals are small green simple toothed leaves, in other 
words, like any small leaflet from a rose leaf. The interior 
petals become less green, and more pale, and gradually less 
toothed, the upper teeth remaining the largest. The stamens 
are linear pale green flat petal-like bodies, abruptly expanded 
at the top, the outer ones notched at the apex. The achenia, 
on the contrary, are expanded at the base, and narrowed at 
the top, forming ovate lanceolate pale petal-like bodies. Of 
course there are no seeds, and the green roses appear on the 
same bush from year to year. 
Fungi. 
The first of July is the middle of the rainy season in the 
south, which lasts about two months. Florida and adjacent 
Georgia lie within the area of one of the heaviest rainfalls on 
this continent. During these months it rains frequently, 
familiar with microscopic forms. A trip down the Chatta- 
hoochee and Appalachicola in May, and another down the 
Chipola, and through Dead Lakes, revealed almost no fleshy 
fungi, except a few specimens of a lateral stemmed Agaricus 
onastump in the lakes. Fleshy fungi are, however, com- 
mon in December and early January, and are moderately 
common again in February when the spring flowers begin to 
be frequent. No attempt was made to keep a record of the 
same. Prof. W. G. Farlow was so kind as to determine the 
following species of gasteromycetes for me, which are com- 
mon late in December: Rhizopogon rubescens Tul., Hydnan- 
kum Ravenelii B. & C., Lycoperdon acuminatum Curtis (=L. 
leprosum B. & Rav.), and Clathrus columnatus Bosc.
