R. Melvmi mihi. Madresfield, iMalvern, Worcestershire. 

 No. I. 1884 fruit, April 9, 1885. No. 2. Flowers, July 23, 1885. 

 No. 3. Fruit and leaves, Nov. ro, 1885. This rose is peculiar in 

 being more or less an evergreen trailing shrub : it is at no time of 

 the year entirely destitute of leaves. Its very small fruit is also re- 

 markable, as also the fact that it remains green until December or 

 January, and does not assume the scarlet hue before the spring 

 or summer of the year after it is produced. Specimens gathered 

 at different dates and numbered i, 2, and 3, show more or less 

 these characters of foliage and fruit. This Rose has been 

 variously stated, or suggested, to be a variety of senipervu-ens, of 

 siy/om, and o'i arvensis, and also "a nurseryman's variety " of the 

 first named plant, and " a stray." 



Without presuming to give an opinion, I will just say that 

 unlike this plant, senipervireiis is said to have hairy styles ; .also 

 that R. Melvini (as I have named it after my friend who pointed 

 it out to me) is unlike specimens of sempervirens in the British 

 Museum and at Kew ; and I would also venture to suggest that 

 if it is " a nurseryman's variety " the variety should at all events 

 be known, which it does not appear to be. — R. F. Towndrow.
