ROSACEA. 221 



R. coriifolia, but the shape, vestiture, and serration of the leaves 

 bear a greater resemblance to those of R. Watsoni. 



Leathery - leaved Briar. 



German, LedderblaUrige Rose. 



11. Rosa Watsoni. Baker. 



Baker, in Nat. 1864, p. 98. 

 11. bractescens /3, Woods. 



" Leaves glabrous on the upper surface, the teeth sharper and 

 closer than in R. coriifolia, not always simple, the accessory serra- 

 tions gland-tipped, somewhat hairy beneath ; the terminal leaflet 

 ovate; the petioles villose, but hardly at all setose. Stipules and 

 bracts nearly glabrous on the back, slightly setoso-ciliated, not 

 peculiarly large, nor hiding the peduncle as in R. coriifolia. 

 Peduncle naked. Calyx-tube ovate-urceolate. Sepals erecto-patcnt 

 after the petals fall, leaf-pointed and fully pinnate, glandular all over 

 the back."— (Baker, I. c.) 



Ambleside, Westmoreland (Woods), and between Dalwhinnie 

 and Etrisk, Inverness- shire (Mr. H. C. Watson). 



12. Rosa subcristata. Baker. 



Baker, in Nat. 18G4, p. 97. 

 R. tomentosa y, Woods. 



Stem arching ; prickles stout, curved. Leaflets oval or elliptical, 

 leathery, glaucous-green and glabrous above, more glaucous and 

 glabrous beneath, sharply and irregularly or imperfectly doubly 

 serrate, some of the smaller serratures gland-tipped ; petioles with 

 scattered hairs, gland-tipped setce, and a few prickles. Stipules and 

 bracts glabrous, ciliated with gland-tipped setaj. Pedicels naked, 

 very short, shorter than the bracts. Styles woolly. Fruit turning 

 scarlet early in September. Sepals glabrous or glandular on the 

 outside, leaf-pointed, sparingly pinnate, more or less ciliated with 

 gland-tipped setae, mostly adhering until the fruit is fully ripe. 



In hedges and thickets. Yorkshire, Cheshire, Northumber- 

 land, Perthshii'e. 



Mr. Baker finds at Kcld, in Swaledale, Yorkshire, a rose with 

 deep red flowers, pedicels with a few gland-tipped aciculi, and 

 sepals glandular on the outside, which in other respects agrees with 

 his R. subcristata.
