This isamuch slenderer, though less trailing Briar than 

 Rosa canina; its flowers pale pink, growing in pairs 

 or single, and its fruit large. It also further differs 

 in habit, by not having young shoots sprouting be- 

 yond the blossoms, so as to give them the appear- 

 ance of being axillary ; and from Rosa sentriosa of 

 Acharius (Stockholm Transactions) in the fruit 

 being ovate, not globular. The leaves of the shrub 

 are glaucous — peculiarly so in the spring of the year ; 

 and with reluctance I relinquish the name given to 

 it in the first edition of the Geog. of Plants, for the 

 less appropriate one of my late friend, Dr. Swartz. 

 This rose stands exactly in the same predicament as 

 R. scabriuscula, and I leave it as a species till ascer- 

 tained to be a variety of R. canina, to which, it 

 must be owned, it bears a strong resemblance. 



12. R. arvensis. White-trailing Dog Rose. 



Style united. Fruit globose, smooth as well as 



the flower-stalks. Leaves unequally serrated. 



Stem and leaf-stalks prickly. Flowers generally 



clustered. Prickles hooked.

 styles. Calyx deciduous. Stems glaucous, some- 

 times the colour of mahogany. 



In woods and hedges at Friar's Goose, near Gates- 

 head, at Cocken, and between Norton and Sadberge, 

 also near Marsden, D. At St. Authon's, and in 

 Elswick Dene near Newcastle, N. Between 

 Broom House and Haggerstone, N. — Thompson's 

 Berwick Plants. 



The foreign Botanists do not seem to be well acquaint- 

 ed with this species, some of them considering it 

 the same as Rosa sempervirens, from which it is easily 

 distinguished by the more oval form and colour of 

 its leaves, and the ealyx being quite smooth. From 

 Dr. Swartz I have received specimens of a rose 

 named Rosa arvensis, but which resembled a small 

 variety of Rosa canina, and is Rosa agrestis of 

 Schleicher's Catalogue of Swiss Plants. The Ayr- 

 shire Rose, which may frequently be seen trained 

 against walls, is scarcely a variety. When the plant 

 grows upon a poor soil, and is weak, its flowers are 

 not clustered, and it then becomes the var. ft of 

 Hudson's Flora Anglicaand Ray's Synopsis.
