growing bush was the dark vivid green of the leaves. Pedun- 
cles only slightly glandular. — W. Biddiscombe. This is not 
var. Garroutei, which should be more decidedly biserrate. 
I do not regard this as more than slightly irregular simple 
serration. There is considerable variation in the individual 
specimens, some of which look quite off type, but all may 
pass for R. stylosa v. systyla. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
Rosa canina. Group Scabratae var. latebrosa Deseglise. 
Burningfold, near Dunsfold, Surrey, Aug., 5, 1929. — W. 
Biddiscombe. The subfoliar glands are not numerous, 
some of the leaves being bare ; but the other features, e.g., 
acicles on the stems, I think place it as latebrosa. — W. 
Biddiscombe. Yes, I think certainly correct. The secondary 
armature is weaker than in typical specimens and the sub- 
foliar glands are few, as is sometimes the case, but the very 
strong biserration is characteristic of the Scabratae. The sub- 
globose instead of ovoid fruit is untypical. It is a rare 
variety, only known from about half a dozen counties. This 
is a record for Surrey. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
Rosa . Bv Finlarig Castle, Killin, Mid Perthshire, 
v.c. 88, July 28, 1929. — Ida M. Roper. One sheet only sent 
for naming. This is R. dumetorum Thuill. var. Deseglisei 
Chr. I feel fairly sure of the name, but it is the first record 
of it, or of any of its group, for Scotland, except two quite 
doubtful ones of var. Lucandiana. A most interesting find. 
— A. H- Wolley-Dod. 
Rosa mollis Sm. [812]. Longmorn, Morayshire, Sept. 12, 
1929. — Leg. K. D. Little. Comm. J. E. Little. Quite 
correct for var. typica, though here and there a slightly 
glandular leaflet may be found, since the forms run into 
one another. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
Rosa mollis Sm., var. caerulea Baker. Crianlarich-Tyndrum, 
Mid Perth, v.c. 88, Aug. 4, 1929. Ida M. Roper. Correctly 
named. This is the normal form with most of its leaflets 
glandular beneath. An occasional fruit or peduncle, or 
both, is hispid, as may be found on most bushes of v. caerulea. 
When collecting for distribution it is best to avoid these 
off-type pieces.— A. H. Wolley-Dod. I agree with the 
varietal name. The small, smooth globular fruits, and the 
numerous subfoliar glands are quite characteristic. — J. Fraser. 
Rosa omissa Desegl. By the Dochart, Killin, Mid Perth, 
v.c. 88, July 31, 1929. — Ida M. Roper. This is R. omissa
