66 PLANTAE CHINENSES FORRESTIANAE 
f. aculeata, fl. pleno albo. 
“Amongst scrub in open situations in the Lichiang valley. 
Lat. 27° N. Alt. 8-gooo ft. September 1904.” G. Forrest. 
No. 155. 
“Open situations in the Mekong valley above Teh Chih. 
Lat. 27° 30’ N. Alt. 8-gooo ft. September 1904.’ G. Forrest. 
No. 229. 
f. R. Banksiae verosimile hybrida. R. ivridens, form. nov., 
an R. Banksiae x Soulieana ? 
Habitus R. Banksiae, ita ut specimina promiscue cum ea 
asservata sint. 
Foliolorum rete venosum, sicut in R. Banksiae, valde con- 
spicuum, nervi secundarii vero hoc rete percurrentes saepissime 
vix distinguendi sunt. Rhachis foliorum hinc inde aculeata ; 
stipulae (saltem in foliis inferioribus) magna ex parte petiolo 
adnatae, pars libera lanceolata. Flores subumbellati. Bracteae 
lineari-lanceolatae, persistentes; pedunculi dense glandulosi. 
Styli in columnam teretem laxe Fvillosam apice clavatam 
coaliti. 
Folia et inflorescentia R. Banksiae; stipulae vero et stylorum 
columna plantam ad Synstylorum sectionem removent. 
A very puzzling plant. An influence of R. Soulieana (or 
perhaps Rk. moschata?) would account for the stipules, the 
prickles, and the styles, but the densely glandular peduncles 
can only be considered as a new character of the hybrid. In 
R. Soulieana and R. moschata the glands are scattered. 
Gathered with the simple flowering R. Banksiae on the 
eastern flank of the Tali Range in 25° 40’ N. G. Forrest. 
No. 4443 ex pte. 
Rosa centifolia, Linn. 
Garden plant with a double flower. A small damaged

Rosa damascena, Mill.

Forming large clusters in shady, moist situations in the Lichiang 
valley around the city. Lat. 26° 50’ N. Alt. 8200 ft. May
