P. torminalis, Wild Service-tree. Gradually dying away^ 
and will probably be qnite exterminated in a few years, as the 
trees are cut down. On the red marl cliff at the Ketch, and 
occupying the dizzy summit of Blackstone Rock, near Bewd- 
ley. The brown berries tied up in bunches are still brought 
to market, though sparingly, in the autumnal season. 
P. domestica, True Service-tree. In the middle of Wyre 
Forest, near Bewdley, first noticed there by Alderman Pitts, 
in 1678. Recently visited by Mr. Lees, who reports it to be 
in a state of decay, and some wood- cutters having recently 
made a fire against its weather-beaten trunk, its destruction 
seems impending. 
Spircea Filipendula, Dropwort. At the west end of Perry 
Wood, and on the Old Hills, but rather rare. Hedges at 
Brookend, near Kemsey. 
Rosa spinosissima, Burnet Rose. Near Crookbarrow Hill, 
in abundance, and about Nunnery Wood, Hallow, and 
Cracombe. 
R, Doniana, Don's Rose. A beautiful but scarce shrub, 
first noticed in this county by Mr. Lees, who observed it near 
Cracombe, and forming tall bushes at Crookbarrow Hill, and 
Battenhall, near Worcester. Mr. Lees having at first con- 
sidered it to be the R, gracilis, as "the Highlands of Scot- 
land,'' are mentioned by Sir J. E. Smith as the habitat for 
the Doniana, Mr. Sabine, Secretary of the London Horticul- 
tural Society, requested a plant to be sent for the garden 
at Chiswick, and his opinion was that it must be R, 
Doniana,^ 
R, villosa, Soft-leaved Round-fruited Rose. In Hindlip 
Wood, near Worcester, and between Bromsgrove and Hagley. 
R, tomentosa, Downy-leaved Rose. At Bransford, Fern- 
hill Heath, and between Malvern and Cowleigh Park. 
R. Sherardiy Sherard's Rose. Powick. 
* Professor Hooker, however, makes both R. gracilis, and R. Doniana^ varie- 
ties of Rosa Sabini, Hooker's Briiish Flora, vol i. p. 229.
