Lyndhurst Road Railway Station, S. Hants, one bush, 12th July,

This well-marked rose, so abundant in Devon and Cornwall, I have 
hitherto looked for in vain out of those counties. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
“ This is a stylosa form, but it is impossible to say whether it should be 
placed under W. systyla, Desv. or R. leucochroa^ Desv.” — Crepin. New 
County records Dorset and S. Hants.

restricts the name of R. arvensisP — Crepin. 
R, arvensis, Sm. var., setosa, Bagnall. Yeaveley, Derbyshire, 
October, 1887. I have come upon this variety in two places 
in this neighbourhood, and have several times met with forms inter- 
mediate between it and ordinary arvensis. I should be interested to 
hear whether doubly serrate forms of arvensis are found in other parts 
of England. Rosa arvensis is exceedingly frequent in this neighbour- 
hood, which may help to account for varieties arising. — W. R. Linton. 
R. arvensis, Huds., leaflets doubly serrate. Near Shirley, Derby-

as correct by Dr, Engler, who now looks upon A. hirsula as a species 
as good as A. Geum. Mr. Baker says “ Agrees with English Botany 
figure, but I should put it under Geum and not umbrosa.”
