REPORT FOR 1887.

Rosa tomentosa, Sm. var. (?). Hayes Common, Kent, June and 
August, 1887. — Eyre de Crespigny. Mr. Baker has passed this as 
R. micrantha^ and Professor Crepin writes, “ It is a form of micrantha 
which enters into the group septicola^ R. septicola^ Desegl” 
R. sepiiwi^ Thuil. (aggregate). Rough bushy ground, Beckley, 
Oxford, in one spot, with R. micrantha^ Srn., and several R. canina 
formas close by, 5th September, 1887. Reported in Druce’s ‘Flora 
of Oxfordshire’ (1886) as “probably extinct” in the county; its 
previously recorded locality (“W. Baxter in Walker’s Flora, 1834,”) 
having been “ on the Leys, about a mile E. by N. from Upper 
Heyford,” in the same district as Beckley. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
R. agrestis^ Savi. {R. sepium^ Thuill.) Wytham, Berks ; Beckley, 
Oxon. Rev. W. Moyle Rogers discovered this plant in Oxon, a single 
bush occurring in a field lately devoted to foxes, and now assuming 
the aspect of a bushy common. In Wytham, only one bush, so far as 
I could find, occurred, but this was a much better and more spreading 
plant than the Beckley one. The Berks Rosa differs slightly from the 
Oxon, and neither appears to be quite typical sepium, although Mr. 
Baker has passed both. — G. Claridge Druce. New County record 
for Oxford. 
R. agrestis, Savi. Near Gloddaeth, Llandudno, August, 1887. — 
J. E. Griffith. 
R. agrestis, inodora^ Fries. NearWhatcote, Warwickshire. — J. E. 
Bagnall. This quite agrees with Swedish specimens, in my herbarium, 
from Winslow. Professor Crepin says, “Perhaps correctly named, 
but, in order to make sure, the material should be more complete.” 
R. canina^ L., var. decipiens^ Dum. Near Polesworth, Warwick- 
shire, loth July, 1886. — J. E. Bagnall. New County record. 
R. decipiens^ Dum. Near Bradley, Derbyshire, loth October, 
1887. — W. R. Linton. Near Shirley, Derbyshire, 5th and 21st July, 
1887. — W. R. Linton. “These are R. tome 7 itella^ not decipiens, 
Dum.” — Crepin. New County record. 
R. glauca, Vill. ped. gland. Near Clifton, Derbyshire, 20th 
September, 1887.^ — W. R. Linton. “Var. transiens. {R. transiens^ 
Kern.)” — Crepin. New County record. 
R glauca^N\S\. Shirley, Derbyshire, ist August and 6th September, 
1887. — W. R. Linton. “ This belongs to what we may call the type 
of this species, which embraces a group of varying forms.”— Crepin. 
R. canina^ L., var. coriifolia^ Fr. Biddulph, Staffordshire, August, 
1887. — W. H. Painter. 
R. tomentosa^ Smith, var. uncinata^ F. Arnold Lees, in “Report 
of Botanical Record Club for 1884, 1885, and 1886,” page 117. Low 
bushes on a mountain side, above Llys-y-gwynt, near Llanfairfechan ; 
alt., about 600 feet, 25th September, 1884. “A very striking plant, 
with prickles very unlike those of tonientosa ; it seems to connect this 
with Borreri or BakeriP — T. R. Archer Briggs m litf. — Charles 
Bailey. Professor Crepin writes concerning this : “ Very curious 
on account of the form of its prickles. It remains to be seen whether 
we have to deal with an individual plant, or whether there are several 
bushes. [Mr. Bailey’s ticket says loto hushes^ so this part ot Protessor
