XXVI. ROSA CEE: CRATE GUS. 377 
a garden near Edinburgh, which once belonged to the Regent Murray. 
It is very old, and its branches have somewhat of a drooping cha- 
racter ; but whether sufficiently so to constitute a variety worth 
propagating as a distinct kind appears to us very doubtful. (Lodd.) 
¥ C.O. 5 Celsiina Hort. is also somewhat fastigiate in its habit; but it is 
a much more slender-growing plant; and we have never seen a spe- 
cimen in a situation where it could display its natural form and mode 
of growth. 
* C. O. 6 capitita Smith of Ayr differs from the species chiefly in being 
of a somewhat more fastigiate habit, and in producing its flowers in 
close heads, mostly at the extremities of its branches. 
¥ C. 0. 7 flerudsa Smith of Ayr has the small branches twisted in a zig- 
zag manner. Horticultural Society’s Garden. 
B. Varieties differing in the Colour of the Flowers. 
 C. O. 8 résea Hort. ; E’pinier Marron, Fr. ( fig. 725. in p. 401.) ; has 
the petals pink, with white claws, and is a well-known and very 
beautiful variety. 
¥ C. O. 9 punicea Lodd. Cat., C. O. résea supérba Hort., has larger pe- 
tals, which are of a dark red, and without white on the claws. 
C. Varieties differing in the Developement or Structure of the Flowers. 
¥ C.0.10 miltipler Hort., C. O. flore pléno Hort. ( fig. 722. in p. 401.), 
has double white flowers, which die off of a beautiful pink ; and 
which, being produced in great profusion, and lasting a long time, 
render this a most desirable variety : accordingly, it is to be found 
in almost every shrubbery and garden. 
¥ C. 0.11 punicea flore pleno Hort.—Flowers double, nearly as dark and 
brilliant as C. O. punicea. Imported in ? 1832, by Mr. Masters of 
Canterbury. 
¥ C.O. 12 mondgyna, C. mondgyna Jacq., has flowers with only one 
style, like C. O. sibirica, but does not flower early like that variety. 
¥ C.O. 13 apétala Lodd. Cat. —This remarkable variety has the flowers 
without petals, or very nearly so. 
D. Varieties differing in the Time of Flowering. 
* C. 0. 14 pre'cor Hort., the Glastonbury Thorn, comes into leaf in 
January or February, and sometimes even in autumn; so that occa- 
sionally, in mild seasons, it may be in flower on Christmas-day. 
¥ C. O. 15 sibirica, C. sibirica Lodd. Cat., C. monégyna L. Wi 
(fig. 665.), is an early leafing variety, a native of Siberia. 
In mild seasons, it begins to put forth its leaves in 
January; and in dry summers it 
loses them proportionately soon 
in the autumn. On account of 
its early leafing and flowering, it 
well merits a place in collections, 
The flowers have only one style; wm 
but, as there are other varieties é 
having only one style which do 
not flower early, we have not 
adopted Linnzus’s name of C. fy 
mondégyna to this variety, but 665. C. 0. sibirica, 
to another, a native of Britain, 
which does not flower earlier than the common hawthorn. 
* C. O. 16 transylvdnica Booth, from the plant in the Hort. Soc. Garden, 
appears to be nearly, if not quite, the same as C. O. sibirica.
