S/vr. Char.. $<c. Tall. Prickles nearly equal. Leaflets 9 — 11, oblong, glabrous, simply serrated. 

 Fruit globose, depressed, dark. (Don's Mill., ii. p. 569.) Flowers white. This plant is easily dis- 

 tinguished from the last, by the greater number of its leaflets, the shortness of its peduncles, and 

 by its globose depressed fruit. It is a shrub, from 3ft. to 5 ft. high, and flowering in May and June.

Spec. Char., §c. Branches without bristles. Prickles nearly equal, 

 distant. Leaflets flat, glabrous, simply serrated. {Don's Mill., ii. 

 p. 569.) Flowers white. Fruit dark. Native of Siberia. Introduced 

 in 1818 ; growing to the height of from 4 ft. to 6 ft., and flowering in 

 May and June. Of this rose Dr. Lindley remarks, that it differs from 

 R. spinosissima, though scarcely so much as to render it a distinct 

 species. " However," he says, " it is too remarkable a plant to es- 

 cape notice ; and, if it should hereafter be reduced to R. spinosissima, 

 it must stand as a distinct variety." (Ros. Monog., p. 54.) There are 

 plants bearing this name in the collection of Messrs. Loddiges, which 

 are very distinct in their appearance, and therefore it may safely be 

 recommended to the notice of the botanical cultivator ; and we think 

 that even our engraving, small as it is, will justify the recommendation.

Spec. Char., fyc. Prickles unequal, larger ones dag-

 {Don's Mill., ii. p. 569.) Flowers white. Native of 

 Dauphine, and near Montpelier. Introduced in 

 1820; growing from 1 ft. to 2 ft. high, and flowering 

 in May and June. According to Dr. Lindley, this 

 rose forms a diminutive shrub, with almost simple 

 and erect shoots, resembling, in many respects, R. 

 spinosissima in a stunted state ; though the glands 

 on its leaves appear sufficient to prevent the two 

 sorts from being mistaken for each other. (Ros. 

 Monog., p. 55.) There are many varieties of R. 

 spinosissima in the collection of Messrs. Loddiges, 

 but none of them bearing this name ; nor is it in their Catalogue as a separate species.
