This rose proves to be quite local, and is very rare or 
absent over large tracts of the county. Of the Blackwater 
bridge plant recorded above, Major Wolley-Dod writes ‘“ an 
arvensis form with the peduncles so nearly eglandular that 
it might be labelled R. erronea Rip.” 
[R. tuctpa Ehrh.—IX. Rather plentiful in a roadside 
hedge east of Kilmorna House between Listowel and 
Abbeyfeale, 1890-1905: R.W.S. This alien appears to be 
spreading ; when last seen, in 1905, it extended for fully 
sixty or seventy feet along the roadside hedge ; no doubt 
accidentally introduced, perhaps bird-sown.]
