tomentosa” — F. Cre'pin. 
R. tomentosa , Sm. Kingswood, West Gloucestershire, 18th June 
and 18th Sept., 1890. — James W. White. Mr. Baker agrees that 
this is var. subglobosa , Sm. — E. F. L. “C’est une variation du 
R. tomentosa , Sm., voisine du R. subglobosa, Sm. Ce dernier n’est 
qu’une variation du R. tomentosa .” — F. Crepin. 
R. subglobosa. Smith; Baker. (No. 231.) Frequent about 
Llanwrtyd, Breconshire ; as on the roadside, Pwll-y-baw ; 8th Oct., 
1890. — Charles Bailey. “ Seems right.” — E. F. Linton. 
R. subglobosa, Smith ; Baker. (No. 232.) Hedge below Tan-y- 
graig, near Llandrindod, Radnorshire, 2nd Oct., 1890. — Charles 
Bailey. “ Type tomentosa passing into subglobosa .” — J. G. Baker. 
R. subglobosa, Smith ; Baker. (No. 233.) Woods on the hillside 
above the Ferry Pier, Foyers, Easterness, 1st Aug., 1890. — Charles 
Bailey. “Doubtful; may be scabriuscula .” — J. G. Baker. “ Je suis 
assez porte a voir dans cette forme une variation du Rosa tomentosa, 
seulement les aiguillons caulinaires presentent une forme bien 
differente de la forme normale de cette espece. Dans celle-ci, 
les aiguillons sont seulement aigus ; dans ce No. 233 ils sont 
crochus. Ne serait-ce la qu’un simple accident individuel? En 
presence de cette difference notable dans les aiguillons, il est 
prudent de faire des reserves au sujet de l’assimilation specifique de 
ce No. 233 au R. tomentosa. La feuille sur fragment de rameau 
sterile a les folioles tres glanduleuses en dessous, tandis que les 
folioles . des ramuscules floriferes ne presentent que d’assez rares 
glandes sur les nervures secondaires. II peut bien se faire que 
M. Bailey ait ajoute a ce No. 233 des fragments de rameaux steriles 
appartenant a l’un ou l’autre des Nos. precedents.” — F. Cre'pin. 
“ Besides the rose M. Crepin has commented on, there were some 
specimens of R. dumalis , Bechst., under this label.” — E. F. Linton. 
This would be so, for my collecting book was accidentally overturned
