XXVI. ROSA‘CEH: RO'SA. 385 
kinds; ranunculus, — rosa 
mundi, sultana; Tuscany; 
the Rosa g. parvifolia, our 
Jig. 586. The village maid, a 
striped rose, introduced by 
Mr. Rogers of Southampton, 
probably belongs to this: & 
species. Besides these, there 
are numerous distinct va- 
rieties, which will be found . 
described in our first edition.

The petals of some of the va- 
rieties of this rose are used in 
medicine, particularly of that called officinal ; which, 
thoughnot so fragrant as those of the Dutch hundred- 
leaved rose, another variety, are preferred for their 
beautiful colour and their pleasant astringency. 
586. Rg. parviflora. 
SN . . i 
585. R. gallica. § vi. Villose. 
Derivation. From villosus, villous ; in allusion to the hairiness of the species. 
Sect. Char. Surculi erect. Prickles straightish. Leaflets ovate or oblong, 
with diverging serratures. Sepals connivent, permanent. Disk thickened, 
closing the throat. — This division borders equally close upon those of 
Canine and Rubigindse. From both it is distinguished by its root-suckers 
being erect and stout. The most absolute marks of difference, however, 
between this and Canina, exist in the prickles of the present section being 
straight, and the serratures of the leaves diverging. If, as is sometimes the 
case, the prickles of this tribe are falcate, the serratures become morc di- 
verging. The permanent sepals are another character by which this tribe 
may be known from Canina. Rubigindsze cannot be confounded with the 
present section, on account of the unequal hooked prickles, and glandular 
leaves, of the species. Roughness of fruit and permanence of sepals are 
common to both. (Don’s Mill., ii. p.576.) Deciduous shrubs, mostly
