to  be  well-formed.  Have  we  all  the  same  plant  ?— E.F.L. 
I  have  a  specimen  similar  to  this  from  Evington, 
Leicestersh.,  which  the  late  Mr.  Beeby  thought  might 
be  P.  reptans,  var.  microphylla  Tratt.  Apparently  a 
dry-ground  state  only.— A.B.J.  I  should  name  this  P. 
mixta  Nolte.— A.B.  My  specimen  has  excellent  foliage, 
but  only  one  flower ;  I  think  that  it  is  P.  procumbens 
Sibth.,  which  roots  more  or  less  freely  in  late  autumn, 
rather  than  the  hybrid  with  P.  reptans  L.  (P.  mixta 
Nolte.).  It  should  be  collected  earlier. — E.S.M. 
P.  Anserina  L.,  var.  concolor  WAllr.  Abercorn, 
Linlithgowsh.,  v.c.  84,  May  27,  1911.— McTaggart  Cowan’ 
junr.  Yes.  Leaves  more  or  less  silky  on  both  sides. 
The  form  with  leaves  greener  and  more  glabrous  on  the 
upper  side  is  the  discolor  of  Wallr.— C.E.S. 
Rosa  Margerisoni  Wolley-Dod  (=  P.  pimpinelli folia 
L.  x  tomentosa  Sm.).  Cult,  in  Perth  (from  plant  sent 
from  Knipe  Wood,  Kettle  well,  N.-W.  Yorks.,  by  Mr. 
Margerison,  the  discoverer),  Sept.  12,  1911.  This  rose, 
described  and  named  by  Major  Wolley-Dod,  in  “  List  of 
British  Roses  ”  p.  9,  I  have  had  in  cultivation  for  two 
years.  In  1911  it  flowered  well  and  set  numerous  fruits 
which,  however,  contained  not  more  than  up  to  about  six 
full  grown  achenes,  a  greater  fertility  than  these  hybrids 
usually  show.  Major  Wolley-Dod  joins  it  to  the  hiber- 
'dica  group,  making  it  R.  pimpinellif  olia  x  dumetorum  or 
coriifolia.  To  me  it  appears  rather  to  belong  to  the 
involuta  group,  i.e.,  R.  pimpinelli f olia  x  tomentosa  (agg.). 
I  found  my  opinion  on  the  shape  of  the  leaflets,  the  quite 
subulate  prickles,  the  sepals  thoroughly  persistent  and 
never  disarticulating,  and,  I  may  add,  the  earlier  ripening 
of  the  fruit.  In  any  case  it  leans  much  more  to  the 
pimpinellif  olia  side  than  to  that  of  the  other  parent, 
whatever  that  may  be. — W.  Barclay.  Correct,  of  course, 
for  the  plant  intended,  but  I  expressly  described  it  as  a 
form,  not  as  a  pseudo-species.  Moreover  I  credited  it 
with  a  dumetorum  (or  coriifolia ),  not  a  tomentosa 
parentage.— A.  H.W.-D.  (See  also  Rept.  B.E.C.,  1911 
p.  90).
