ROSA CORIIFOLIA 
Rosa subcristata Baker, with glabrous, doubly serrated leaves 
with glandular petioles. 
Rosa Watsoni Baker (non Crepin), with hairy, doubly serrated 
leaves. 
An account of the oriental varieties will be found in Dr. Christ’s 
paper in the supplement to Boissier’s Flora Orientalis. According 
to Dr. Christ it hybridizes spontaneously with Rosa tomentosa Sm., 
Rosa cinnamomea L., and Rosa rubrifolia Vill. Crepin 1 held that 
Rosa glauca and Rosa coriifolia were but two states of the same Rose, 
the one glabrous and the other pubescent. Dr. Christ, however, 
held an opposite opinion, and most botanists have agreed with him. 
The plate shows a white form with longer peduncles than are 
usual in the type.
