ROSA STYLOSA VAR. CORYMBOSA il 
These specimens, though poor ones, indicate well the salient 
points of the species, to which should be added white flowers, 
which, together with the much more Rosie, and usually shorter, 
broader leaflets, distinguish it from R. systyla. Herbarium speci- 
mens look much more compact, the leaflets especially being 
closer set than in R. systyla. The glands on the peduncles, 
though stouter and longer stipitate than in arvensis, are 
usually less stout than in the glandular peduneled species of the 
U-canine. 
Déséglise has no British uatenn ian fi. a Desv., 
. 7D, 
ogers, whos e specimens from Bentley Wood, S. Wilts, therein 
referred to, are certainly R. stylosa Desv., with somewhat weaker 
prickles and rather less glandular peduncles than usual. Briggs’s 
ymouth example should be referred to R. leucochroa Desv., so 
that &. corymbifera Borkh. disappears from our list. Some of 
the Continental specimens referred to it beidtiy: to the Stylosa 
group. 
In the British herbarium a specimen from Buckden, Hunts, 
W. R. Linton, is correctly labelled R. stylosa; also specimens 
from Puddleton, Dorset, by Mr. Rogers, iabelled R. Desvauxia, 
from Wilton, S., Wilts, and from Mottisfont, 8. Hants, are 
fh. stylosa Desy. Examples from Witley, Surrey, and Ham Street, 
E. Kent, by Mr. Marshall, referred here with doubt by Mr. Rogers, 
presumably on account of their white flowers, are much too 
glabrous, and oe to R. systyla Bast.; also I believe those from 
eston Mills and Yealmpton, S. Devon, aad eg is possible that 
the two latter are subglabrous forms of R. sty 
fi. siylosa var. Desvauxit Baker is a aynonyaa of R. stylosa 
Desv., as also is var. Desvauwiana Seringe.

therefore, be held to be distinct from var. corymbosa Desv.
