this section are remarkable for their long, graceful, and often climbing shoots, 
drooping flowers, and trifoliolate shining leaves. They are particularly dis- 
tinguished by their deciduous, subulate, or very narrow stipules. Their 
fruit is very variable. (Don’s Mill.) — Rambling shrubs, deciduous, or sub 
evergreen; somewhat tender in British gardens, where they only succeed 
when planted against a wall. Natives of China.

Variety. 
& R. B. 2 litea Lindl. (Bot. Reg., t. 1105., 
and our jig. 630.) has the flowers of a 
pale buff colour, and is a very beautiful 
variety. 
This is an exceedingly beautiful and very re- 
_markable kind of rose; the flowers being small, 
round, and very double, on long peduncles, and 
resembling in form the flowers of the double French 
cherry, or that of a small ranunculus, more than 
those of the generality of roses. The flowers of 
R. Banksie alba are remarkably fragrant ; the scent 
strongly resembling that of violets. Plants of neither 
variety thrive in the atmosphere of the metropolis.
