ROSACEiE. 2G1 



of the late Mr. J. Irvine Boswell, Kingcausic, near Aberdeen, on 

 a bank of peat mould brought from the neighbourhood in prepara- 

 tion for a rhododendron bed ; but careful search failed to detect it 

 growing on the spot whence the mould was brought, and after a 

 few years the plant died out in the garden. It is not an imlikely 

 plant to occur ; the most probable place for it is the district near tho 

 Sow of AthoU, where the Menziesia cajrulea is found. 



RUBUS TOMENTOSUS. Borkhaus. 



A plant found at Horseton HiU, near Harrow, Middlesex, has 

 been supposed to be a variety of this plant ; Professor Babington, 

 however, considers it is not that plant, but probably 11. leu- 

 costachys. 



ROSA CINNAMOMIA. 

 E. B. No. 2388. 



Said to have been found in the wood at Aketon, near Pontefract 

 Castle, and at Birk Hill, Galston, Ayrshii-e; no doubt escaped from 

 cultivation. 



ROSA DICKSONI. Lindley. 

 E. B. S. No. 2707. 

 Said to have been found in Ireland by Mr. James Drummond, 

 but probably not native. 



ROSA LUCIDA. Mrh. 



Mr. Borrer found this American plant near Keswick, where it 

 had been mistaken for R. cinnamomia. 



ROSA POMIFERA. Hem. 



Found at Coates Heath, Staffordshire, by the Bev. R. C. 

 Douglas ; but probably escaped from a garden, as it is not unfre- 

 quently cultivated, 



PYRUS SEMIPINNATA. Both. 



Pyrus pinnatifida, Ehrh. ? Smith, E. B. No. 2331. 



The figure in English Botany appears to represent a plant 

 which is commonly cultivated in gardens and ornamental planta- 

 tions. I have received it from M. Huguenin, of Chambery, under 

 the name of Sorbus hybrida. It seems to be quite distinct from 

 the Scandinavian and Arran plant named Sorbus fcnnica by Fries, 

 \)ut has no claims to be considered as indigenous in Biitain.
