bury Mortimer Station (in Worcester).— * Var. britannicus (Rogers). 

 Widely spread ; very abundant in the hilly western districts, 

 especially in the valleys of the Monnow and Craswall Brooks, but 

 not confined to these parts. Great Doward in the south ; Holme 

 Lacy in the centre ; Whitfield in the western parts. — Var. diversi- 

 foliits (Lindl.) is more widely spread in the county than ha,d been 

 supposed, and is now recorded from seven or eight stations in 



different parts. 



R. *Buchnalli White. Rare, and known in a single district 

 only. Mordiford, and near Yatton ; first in 1895. On these plants 

 the Rev. W. M. Rogers remarks : — u Indistinguishable from R. 

 Bucknalli, so far as panicle is concerned ; but the stem is much 

 less densely hairy, and lacks the resinous exudation characteristic 

 of Mr. White's plant/' Mr. White himself recognized the Here- 

 fordshire plant as his species. Recorded in Journ. Bot. 1896, 223, 

 as R. Balfourianus Blox. 



R. Balfourianus Blox. Certainly a native of the county, and 

 locally abundant in hedges near Ross, where it fruits freely.

Rosa. On the mollis -tomentosa section of this genus, see a paper 

 by the writer in Journ. Bot. 1907, 200. In view of this paper it 

 is thought advisable to give particulars with regard to each member 

 of this group. 



JR. mollis Sm. Rare in the county, and only known in the 

 hilly western and northern parts. Wormesley in the centre ; Mary 

 Knowl and Richard's Castle in the north ; Black Mountain in the 

 west. 



R. submollis Ley. Much more common than the last, and 



known in some fourteen stations scattered over the whole of the 

 county. 



R. omissa Deseg. var. resinosoides Crepin. Rare, only known in 

 two districts. Coldborough Park Wood, 1888; Linton Ridge, 

 1900. The Herefordshire plant is a handsome form with 

 elongate, nearly parallel-sided fruit. Cowleigh Park, Malvern, 



Towndrow 1 



R. pseudo-mollis Ley. Rather common throughout the whole 



county. The Cowleigh Park station near Malvern, from which 



the plant was described by Mr. Baker, was in Herefordshire at 



the date of the publication of the Flora of Herefordshire (1889), 



but has been placed in Worcestershire by the readjustment of 



county boundaries which followed the Local Government Act 

 of 1893. 



/u Sherardi Davies. Rare in Herefordshire. Gorsley in the 

 south-east; Orcop in the south-west; Burghill in the centre; 

 Aymestry in the north of the county. 



R. uneinata Ley. Not common, but widely spread in the 

 east, central, and northern districts. No station is known in the 

 south or extreme west of the county. 



R. scabrixucxda Sm. Common, and distributed throughout the 

 whole county.
