on the Caledonian Canal steamer, and the Foyers plants disarranged. — 
Charles Bailey. 
Rosa subglobosa , Smith; Baker. (No. 234.) On the high road 
skirting Cromarty Firth, one mile N.E. of Dingwall, East Ross, 
31st July, 1890 . — Charles Bailey. “Is not this R. mollis , var. 
cceruleal ” — E. F. Linton. “ Mollis passing into coerulea : some 
pedicels are setose.” — J. G. Baker. 
R. subglobosa , Smith?; Baker. (No. 235.) Hedge in field near 
Ingersley Hall and Bollington, near Macclesfield, Cheshire, 6th 
Sept., 1890 . — Charles Bailey. “Sepals reflexed, like scdbriuscula ; 
otherwise right.” — E. F. Linton. “No doubt a tomentosa form.”- — 
J. G. Baker. 
R. scabriuscula , Smith ; Baker. On the hillside above Ferry 
Pier, Foyers, Easterness, 1st August, 1890 . — Charles Bailey. 
“A supply of this same form is also sent by Mr. Bailey from “Path 
by the Caledonian Canal, at the locks, Fort Augustus,” same date 
and district, labelled “ R. mollis, Smith; Baker.” I sent each of 
these to Mr. Baker, who has unfortunately been unable to give little 
time to the Club plants ; and he has written “ doubtful ” on both. 
I have no doubt both are a form of R. tomentosa , Sm. ; but the 
specimens are rather young for settling the variety.” — E. F. Linton. 
R. rubiginosa , L., var. ? Baker. A small-leaved diminutive bush 
on the railway line between Strathpeffer and the Raven’s Rock, East 
Rossshire, 30th July, 1890. Co. 106 is not one of the Scotch 
counties given in ‘ Top. Bot.,’ p. 152. The sweetbriar is frequently 
used for hedges at Strathpeffer, but the plant now sent was much too 
low growing for such a purpose. — C harles Bailey. “The specimens 
sent shew a plant starved by the circumstances of its environment. 
Fruit and leaves are alike undeveloped.” — E. F. Linton. 
R. canina , L., var. Atlow, South Derbyshire, July and August, 
1890. This form is frequent in the neighbourhood, and comes 
under or near R. lutetiana , Leman. — W m. R. Linton. “ C’est une 
variation du R. canina , du groupe R. lutetiana , Lem.” — F. Crepin. 
R. canina , L., var. Atlow, S. Derbyshire, July and August, 1890. — 
The same as the above, with the additional feature of the peduncles 
being setose. — W m. R. Linton. “ C’est une variation du R. canina , 
du groupe R. andegavensis , du moins je le pense.” — F. Crepin. 
“ Andegavensis with glandular sepals.” — J. G. Baker. 
R. sphcerica , Gren.; Baker. Between Malvern and Upton, Worces- 
tershire, nth October, 1890. At Llandrindod, Radnorshire, hedge

October, 1890. Cornfield hedge on the roadside, Delamere, Cheshire, 
20th September, 1890 . — Charles Bailey. “The first of these is 
right. Of the second, two sheets went to Mr. Baker ; one of them 
with ovoid fruits, had my suggestion, R. urbica , on which Mr. Baker 
replied, ‘ Pedicels beginning to be setose ; petiole hairy ’; the other, 
with round fruit, had my suggested name, R. urbica , platyphylla , Rau , 
on which Mr. Baker comments, 1 Petiole hairy ; best put under 
urbica .’ The third was correctly named.” — E. F. Linton. 
R. dumalis , Bechst. ; Baker. Hedges on the road between Three
