which  grow  on  Ben  Lawers  would  be— in  part,  at  least- 
explained.  Mr.  Marshall  and  I  undoubtedly  saw  A. 
acutidens  on  Ben  Lawers. — C.E.M. 
Rosa  spinosissima  x  rubiginosci.  Near  Abbotsford, 
Roxburghsh.,  v.c.  80,  July  26  and  Aug.  26,  1913.  There 
is  no  dwelling  within  two  miles  of  the  station  where  this 
hybrid  grows.  Both  parents  are  found  close  by  in  the 
same  hedge.  The  flowers  are  pink  with  yellow  at  the 
base  of  the  petals,  and  have  the  scent  of  the  sweet-briar 
distinctly.— I.  M.  Hayward.  A  very  good  intermediate  ; 
but  better  labelled  R.  spinosissima  x  Eglanteria.-— A.  H. 
W.-D.  This  makes  the  third  native  station  for  this 
hybrid  known  to  me  in  Scotland.  The  forms  from  all 
three  stations,  though  of  course  showing  a  certain  amount 
of  variation,  differ  in  no  material  point,  and  exhibit  in 
the  clearest  manner  a  combination  of  characters  derived 
from  both  parents.---W.B. 
R.  mollis  Sm.  Roadside  hedge,  Keswick,  Cumberland, 
v.c.  ( 0 ,  Aug.  25,  1913. — S.  H.  Bickham.  My  specimen  is 
a  poor  one,  but  looks  right.— E.S.M.  Correct.  This,  with 
its  numerous  small  subfoliar  glands  and  large  fruit, 
belongs  to  what  Mr.  Ley  called  var.  recondita  (Puget). 
In  this  he  was  undoubtedly  wrong,  as  R.  recondita  Pug. 
differs  in  nothing  from  typical  R.  pomifera  Herrm.,  except 
m  having  more  numerous  subfoliar  glands.  The  present 
specimen  is  clearly  a  variation  of  R.  mollis  Sm.  It  has 
fruit  and  peduncles  perfectly  smooth,  which  is  unusual. 
To  judge  from  what  I  have  seen,  however,  some  peduncles 
and  some  fruits  on  the  same  bush  would  probably  show 
a  few  glands. — W.B.  I  would  rather  label  this  var. 
ccerulea  Woods,  though  I  doubt  whether  the  variety  is 
worthy  of  distinction.— A.H.W.-D. 
R.  canina  L.,  [var.  Blondceana  Rip.] .  By  the  Land 
Yeo,  Wraxall,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  June  17,  and  Oct.  18, 
1913.  Ida  M.  Roper.  I  can  detect  no  glands  on  the 
primary  nerves  beneath  ;  the  teeth  are  simply  serrate,  or 
nearly  so,  and  it  seems  to  come  under  the  Lutetiana 
group.  E.S.M..  Not  R.  Blondceana  Rip.,  nor  of  the 
sub-gioup  Scabratce  at  all,  but  either  Transitorice  or 
Dumales.  My  material  is  not  good,  but  it  is  most  likely 
R.  curticola  Pug.,  less  probably  R.  stenocarpct  Desegl. —
