teate. Leaflets oblong or ovate, wrinkled. Disk thickened, closing the 
throat. Sepals compound. — This division comprises the portion of the 
genus Résa which has most particularly interested the lover of flowers. It 
is probable that the earliest roses of which there are any records of being 
cultivated belonged to this section; but, to which particular species those 
of Cyrene or Mount Pangeus are to be referred, it is now too late to enquire. 
The attar of roses, which is an important article of commerce, is either 
obtained from roses belonging to this division indiscriminately, as in the 
manufactory at. Florence, conducted by a convent of friars; or from some 
particular kind, as in India. (Don’s Mill, ii. p.571. adapted.) Decidu- 
ous bushes, generally erectish ; natives of Syria, Caucasus, and Middle of 
Europe.
