ROSA GLUTINOSA 
et villosis.” There is a good specimen in the herbarium of Linnaeus, 
without name in his own handwriting, but marked as “ glutinosa ” by 
Sir J. E. Smith. The figure by Bauer in Sibthorp & Smith’s Flora 
Graeca is an excellent one. 
Dr. Christ believes Rosa glutinosa to be the representative of 
Rosa Eglanteria L. in the Mediterranean region. This last species 
does, however, occur sparingly in the same region, and here and there 
in Persia. Crepin considered that these two species were very nearly 
allied, notwithstanding the marked difference in appearance between 
the dwarf forms of Rosa glutinosa and the vigorous forms of Rosa 
Eglanteria. If the sepals are not really persistent in Rosa glutinosa, 
he would then recognise only one important difference, the presence 
of numerous scattered prickles on the axes.
