50 THE BRITISH: ROSES 
Crépin’s description by quoting Mr. N. E. Brown’s note on 
Nicholson’s type from Suppl. to Eng. Bot. p. 133 oe 
rather densely covered with straight aciculi and sete. Lea 
all over beneath, and ao on aval mid ais teeth gland- 
ciliate. Flowers 1-3 together. Peduncles 4~3 in. long, densely 
covered with rather long glandular ane a -tube subglobose 
or ellipsoidal, more or less gland-setose. Outer sepals ner: 
pinnatifid, glandular on the back. Gathered at St. Cyru 
far as the above descriptions are concerned, I cannot see 
how this variety differs from Ph soiedtiey except in being much 
more densely armed, and perhaps ore fully biserrate leaflets. 
I think both are pingansligiclia x mubarnte forms
