XXVII. Report upon the New or Rare Plants which flowered 

 in the Garden of the Horticultural Society at Chiswick, 

 between March, 1825, and March, 1826. Part II. Hardy 

 Plants. By Mr. John Lindeey, F.L.S. fyc. Assistant 

 Secretary. 



Read September 4th and 18th, 1827. 



The following observations apply to such Hardy Plants as 

 flowered in the Garden of the Society between March, 1825, 

 and March, 1826, and appeared to merit particular notice. 

 A Report upon the Tender Plants that flowered in the same 

 period has already been printed in the present volume of the 

 Transactions,* 



Trees or Shrubs. * 

 XXXIV. Rosa Dicksoni. 



R. (Cinnamomea) ramis flexuosis aculeis raris gracilibus sparsis armatis, foliolis 

 complicatis grosse duplicato-serratis inaequalibus, stipulis petiolis sepalisque 

 glandulosis sequalibus, fructu mido. 



Amongst the multitude of Roses that have been distin- 

 guished by botanists of almost every nation of Europe, it is 

 scarcely credible, that in our own country, there should still 

 exist a species, which even the most sceptical of those who 

 have studied the genus are ready to admit as a distinct form : 

 yet such is the fact with the plant now about to be described. 

 It was sent to the Society in 1824 by Mr. James Drum- 

 mond, Curator of the Botanic Garden, Cork, by whom it was 

 discovered.
