peduncles  have  a  number  of  stalked  glands— which  are 
rather  rare  with  our  local  roses.— W.  Bell.  R.  tomentosa,

mediate  forms  connecting  the  two.— E.F.L.  Leaf-back 
hairy,  glandular;  thorns  large,  falcate;  sepals  incurved, 
assurgent,  persistent ;  R.  Andrzeiovii,  Steven. — A  Ley  I 
have  not  studied  this  group,  but  Mr.  Ley  has ;  my  notes 
and  Deseglise  s  “  Cat.  raisonne  ”  credit  R.  Andrzeiovii, 
btev.  with  eglandular  lower  surface  of  leaves,  while  these 
are  strongly  glandular.  If  a  segregate  name  is  sought  will 
not  R.  cuspidatoides,  Crepin,  fit  it  ?— A.H.W.-D.  One  of 
the  numerous  variations  of  R.  tomentosa,  Sm.  As  to 
R.  Andrzeiovii,  Steven,  which  I  take  to  be  the  same  as 
R  Andrzeiowscn,  Steven,  Crepin  in  “  Rosae  hybridae  ” 
p.  45  says  that  it  is  a  hybrid  of  R.  pimpinellifolia  x 
tomentosa.  The  variations  of  R.  tomentosa,  Sm.  have  yet 
to  be  classed  in  a  satisfactory  manner.- W.  Barclay. 
R.  tomentosa,  Sm.,  var.  cinerascens,  Dum.  Auch- 
terarder,  July  80,  1897,  and  Orchardneuk,  Aug.  6,  1897 
Mid  Perth,  v.c.  88.  This  variety  of  R.  tomentosa  with  the 
leaf-teeth  simple  is  certainly  very  rare  in  my  experience.  I 
have  found  it  only  in  three  stations,  although  there  are 
other  forms  closely  approaching  it.  Not  having  specimens 
enough  from  one  station,  I  have  sent  some  from  each  of 
two.  Ihe  third  station  was  near  Comrie,  but  the  last 
time  I  was  there  I  failed  to  re-discover  the  bush,  though  I 
believe  it  is  still  m  existence.— W.  Barclay.  Leaves  not 
truly  simply  serrate,  leaf-back  hairy,  glandular;  thorns 
narrow,  straightish ;  fruit  ovoid;  sepals  assurgent,  per¬ 
sistent  R.  omissa,  Desegl.,  var.  resinosoides,  Crep. — A. 
hej\  tilat  t3ae  leaves  are  not  perfectly  simply 
serrate  but  they  are  certainly  very  nearly  so,  whereas 
R.  lesinosoides,  Crep.  is  said  to  have  them  “  glandular 
biserrate.  It  agrees,  however,  in  other  respects  more 
W1  .  resinosoides  than  with  cinerascens,  but  I 
should  hesitate  to  assert  that  it  was  that  species,  though  I 
do  not  know  the  group. — A.  H.  W.-D.

two  other  stations  being  so  far  known,  whilst  the  type 
itself  is  far  from  common.— A.  R.  Horwood.  Caninae —
