 are also several species mentioned as natives of Nepal, no descriptions of which have yet appeared. 



App. iv. A practical Arrangement of Roses in actual Cultivation 

 in the Nursery of Messrs. Rivers arid Son, Sawbridgetvort/i, 

 Hertfordshire. 



The preceding arrangement is chiefly calculated for the botanist; for, if 

 any person were desirous of ordering a collection of roses according to the 

 names given in it, he would find it quite impossible to accomplish his object 

 either in Britain or on the Continent. In short, it may be considered as a 

 botanical fiction, only calculated to communicate some general ideas as to 

 the wild roses of Europe, and as to the origin of the different varieties in
