REPORT FOR 1882. 
69 
October, 1882. — W. H. Purchas. Panicles too advanced and 
imperfect for certain naming. The sepals seem to clasp the fruit, but 
the barren stem does not do well for ccesius. Somewhat like weak 
R. Balfourianus ; certainly one of the Ccesii. — T. R. Archer Briggs. 
Rubus ccesius , L. var. tenuis. Dinmore Hill, Herefordshire, 30th 
August, 1882. — A. Ley. “ Yes.” — C. C. Babington. R. ccesius 
certainly, and I think probably right as to the variety. — 1 '. R. 
Archer Briggs. 
Upon those roses marked “J. G. B.,” Mr. Baker remarks: “I 
cannot mend the names of these roses.” 
Rosa Donniana , Woods, var. . BrafTerton, N. Yorks., July, 
1882. — G. Webster. J. G. B. ! 
R. involuta , var. , R. sabauda , Rapin ? Falcon Clints, 
Teesdale, Co. Durham, July, 1882. — G. Webster. J. G. B. ! 
R. Roberts oni, Baker. Hedgerow, near Thirsk, Yorks., August, 
1881 — G. Nicholson. J. G. B. ! 
R tomentosa , var. subglobosa. Ackworth, Yorks., 17th Sept., 
1874. — W. R. Linton. J. G. B. ! 
R. rubiginosa, var. comosa. Ripart? Sprowston, Norfolk, 13th 
Sept., 1882. — E. F. Linton. J. G. B. ! 
R. micrantha , Sm., var. Briggsii. St. Thomas’ Head, Somerset. 
New locality ; authenticated by Mr. Briggs, 28th August, 1882. — 
J. W. White. Mr. G. Nicholson and Mr. A. Bennett both call this 
sepium. Mr. Baker writes : “ Most likely a sepiu?n variety.” Mr. 
Archer Briggs confirms his previous opinion, and writes : “ I think 
Mr. White’s Rosa micrantha , var. Briggsii essentially the same as the 
plant of the neighbourhood of Plymouth.” Perhaps Mr. White will 
send the plant in an earlier state, so that the sepals may be seen. 
The styles are quite glabrous in the present (fruiting) specimens, and 
the leaves are hairy beneath. 
R. sphcerica, Gren. Easingwold, N. Yorks., October, 1882. — 
G. Webster. J. G. B. ! 
R. canina , like urbica , but sepals show tendency to ascend, in 
which case it would be implexa. Harrogate, Yorks., 4th August, 
1882. — E. F. Linton. Alleged peculiarity seems too indistinct to 
be of any account. — T. R. Archer Briggs. J. G. B. ! 
R. canina, var. frondosa. Sprowston, Norfolk, E. I send two (if 
not three) forms of Rosa frondosa. One (dated 9, Sep. 1882) seems 
to be frondosa on the side of R. urbica , from which the short round 
fruit and rounded leaves distinguish it. The other (dated 22, Sep. 
1882) has still smaller globose fruit, of the size of R. arvensis fruit, 
but leaves rather long and acuminate, and slightly hairy above, a fact 
which led me to connect it with R. tomentella ; but Mr. Baker, on 
seeing it, said that it was nearer R. frondosa. This latter grew in two 
hedges on land formerly a sandy or gravelly heath. — E. F. Linton. 
R. c., var. frondosa (but in the direction of urbica). Sprowston, 
E. Norfolk, 9th Sept., 1882. — E. F. Linton. Leaves with minute 
secondary gland-tipped serratures. — T. R. Archer Briggs. J. G. B. ! 
R. c., wax. frondosa. Horsford, E. Norfolk, 28th August, 1882. — 
E. F. Linton. J. G. B. ! 
R. frondosa, Stev. Great Crostlewaite, near Keswick, Cumber- 
land, 1 6th Sept., 1882 . — Charles Bailey. Leaves distinctly
