Rosa canina , Linn., var. /. biserrata, Merat, var. vinacea, Baker, 
(good). “Hedge, Carkeel, E. Cornwall, 1875.” — T. It. A. B. 
Yar. dumetorum, Tliuill. “ Hedge, Collaford, Plympton St. Mary, 
S. Devon, June, 1875.” M. Deseglise considers this correctly 
named. — T. R. A. B. 
Yar. obtusifolia, Desv. “ Sellack and near Eaton Bishop, Here- 
fordshire, September, 1874.” — Rev. Augustin Ley. .Neighbour- 
hood of Plymouth, S. Devon and E. Cornwall, 1875. From several 
spots about Plymouth, where it will probably prove to be common.

Var. andevagensis, Bust. “ Sellack, Herefordshire, October, 1875.” 
— Rev. Augustin Ley. “ Boxhill, Pennycross, S. Devon, June, 1875.” 
M. Deseglise coincides as to the name of the Plymouth plant. —

Yar. aspernata, Hob., fide Deseglise. “Hedge, Moditonham, E. 
Cornwall, June, 1875,” and other stations near Plymouth. Considered 
an extreme form of verticillacmtha, Merat, by Mr. Baker. M. 
Deseglise now adopts the name as above, giving R. saxatilis, Boreau, 
that under which specimens have previously been sent out, as a 
synonym. — T. R. A. B. 
Rosa stylosa, Desv., var. a. systyla, Bast. “Hedge near Adisham, 
Kent, September, 1875.” — T. B. Blow. “Hear Saltram, S. Devon; 
Hay Lane, between Torpoint and Antony, &c., E. Cornwall.” This is 
undoubtedly the systyla of the Continental botanists, as received from 
M. Deseglise ; and specimens from the neighbourhood of Plymouth 
have been so named by him. Here it is quite a common Rose and 
widely distributed. — T. R. A. B. 
? var. leucochroa , Desv. “ Hedge, Cutmere, St. Germans, E. Corn- 
wall, July, 1875. Between St. Johns, and Whitsand Bay, E. 
Cornwall, September, 1875.” This has a much stiffer habit than true 
systyla, shorter peduncles, a less prominent disc when in fruit, and 
styles commonly not so much agglutinated, or quite free. The petals 
are white, though of a creamy tint when expanding. M. Deseglise 
has had specimens from several places in Devon and Cornwall, and 
has pronounced them to be leucochroa. I used to regard this Rose as 
the collina of Jacquin, but am now satisfied that it is not that. It 
seems to be nearer to systyla, Bastard, than to any other of our Roses. 
It is abundant about Plymouth.— T. R. A. B. 
Rosa arvensis, Huds., b. bibracteata. “Hedge between Latch- 
brook and Notter ; also Sheviocke, E. Cornwall, 1875.” This luxu- 
riant variety of arvensis proves to be widely distributed about
