ROSA GALLICA, var. VERSICOLOR 
The first drawing of Rosa Mundi appears to be by Miss Lawrance, 
who has an excellent representation of it under the name of Rosa 
gallica ft versicolor , Rosa Mundi } It is next figured by Andrews , 2 
whose drawing under the name of Rosa gallica variegata , vel Rosa 
Mundi , gives a good idea of this gay and striking garden favourite. 
There is a still better plate in the Botanical Magazine? and Redoute’s 
figure in Les Roses is amongst the most beautiful of the series. 
Seringe 4 calls this Rose Rosa gallica versicolor , and quotes 
Thory’s synonyms of Rosa gallica versicolor , Provins panache , Rosa 
holosericea Lob., Rosa praenestina variegata plena Mill ., 5 Rosa Belgica 
carnea rubro striata Roess., Rosa gallica variegata , vel Rosa Mundi
