.but slightly setose, furnished with 3 or 4 falcate aciculi. Stipules 
naked on the back, closely setoso-ciliated. Flowers 3 or 4 in a cluster 
when luxuriant, the pedicels rather short, quite naked, the calyx-tube 
obovoid or roundish, quite naked, the sepals fully pinnate and leaf- 
pointed, erecto-patent after the pale pink petals fall, naked on the 
back, slightly hairy towards the edge, slightly setoso-ciliated, falling 
by the time the fruit has become scarlet, which is late in September. 
Styles hairy. By the passage down of its prickles into small slender 
aciculi, this recedes from canina in the direction of Hibernica. Of 
named forms it is nearest the French R. SchuUzii-Bipont. (Desegl. 
Monogr. p. 66), which has similar prickles in combination with 
roundish leaflets, almost unarmed slightly hairy petioles, a small 
round fruit, which ripens very early, and subpersistent, sparingly pin- 
nate sepals. There is a specimen of a similar plant without any in- 
dication of locality among the British Boses of the late Mr. Hail- 
stone, of Bradford, who paid great attention to. the genus for many 
years, though he never published the results of his investigations. 
Rosa systyla. Sent by Mr. W. Bichardson from the neighbourhood 
of Alnwick, Northumberland. This extends considerably the northern 
limit of the species in this country, as it was not clearly known beyond 
Worcester. 
Agrimonia odorata , Mill. One large plant found by the side of a 
private road, south of Virginia Water Station, Surrey; IT. C. Watson. 
New to the county. 
Epilobium roseum, Sclireb. A garden weed, Manchester; Dr. 
Windsor. New to sub-province 21 of Cyb. Br. Supp. 
E. lanceolatum, Seb. In three lanes leading out of Bowler Green, 
between Witley Station and Tliursley, Surrey ; IT. C. Watson. The 
species is now extinct in the only locality given in the Surrey Flora. 
This new locality restores it to the flora of the county. 
Valeriana officinalis, L. Mr. Watson contributes a series of speci- 
mens from five different localities in Surrey, sent in order to illustrate 
the two subspecies or varieties Mikanii and sambucifolia. He says, 
“ V. sambucifolia is the prevailing form in Surrey, and probably in al- 
most all other counties of Britain. V. Mikanii is distinguished by its 
leaflets being usually more numerous, narrower, and less dentate, but 
as it passes from the firm ground of coppices and hillsides info adja- 
cent dug or disturbed ground, the leaflets decrease in number and in-
