ADDENDA EX COEEIGENDA. 
Two small bushes of a Rose, without fl. or fi\, but otherwise 
strongly resembling R. Wilsoni Borr. EBS. t. 2723, except that the 
lfts. are smooth and have the strong fragrance of those of the com- 
mon Sweet-briar ( R . rubiginosa L.), were found by me in May 
1867, growing in the almost wholly unfrequented path along the 
Levada dos Lamaceiros above P t0 da Cruz, about halfway between 
the little building where the waters ai*e divided and the Rocha 
furada, under Pico da Suna and at an elevation of above 3000 ft., in 
a perfectly wild part of the mountains, far remote fromanv habita- 
tion or even cultivated spot. No other Eose, not even the only 
native Mad. sp. R. caninct L., could be found in the surrounding 
thickets ; nor could I find in the only neighbouring villages of S. 
Antonio da Serra and P t0 da Cruz, each about 3 miles distant, any 
Eose at all approaching this, in cultivation. The appearance there- 
fore of these 2 bushes in such an unfrequented and remote locality 
is at present wholly unaccountable, to whatever sp. they may prove 
hereafter to belong. — The following description contains all that can 
as yet be said about them : — 
A low small shr. 1-2 ft. high. Branches slender ; those of the 
previous year thickly clothed with crowded long pale or whitish 
straight horizontal or slightly declining slender subulate spines, a 
little compressed and extended upwards and downwards at their 
base ; longer fewer or more remote and a little more decurved or 
declining on the y oung shoots of the year, the longest being 4 or 5 
lines long. A few r similar spines occur also on the petioles. Young 
shoots and older branches alike entirely naked or eglandulous. Pe- 
tioles thinly sprinkled, stip. thickly, and lfts. less closely ciliate with 
glands or short (not red) capitate seta. Lfts. 7 broadly oval, 4—9 
lines long, 3-7 broad, finely simply or doubly serrulate, more or 
less fringed with glands, quite smooth above, often a httle puberu- 
lous and glandulous at the base and up the midrib beneath. Fo- 
liage full gr., a little paler beneath.
