persistent sepals. It differs from R. fcetida and R. sylvestris by its 
narrower and much less glandular leaves and hairy styles. Wimbledon 
Common, Surrey, 1876-8. — H. and J. Groves. 
Rosa rubiginosa, L., var. R. apricorutn, Rip. Down, Box Hill, 
Surrey, nth September, 1880. — H. Groves. This appears to be 
one of our commonest forms of R. rubiginosa ; the principal charac- 
teristics appear to be the large roundish fruit, the deciduous sepals, 
and the hairy styles. M. Deseglise confirms the name. — J. G. 
Rosa dumalis , Bechst., tending towards subcristata (fide Baker). 
Serquoy Burn, Orphir, Orkney, August, 1875. — J- T. Boswell. 
Rosa canina, var. biserrata. Near Clifton, Westmoreland, Sept., 
1880 . — Augustin Ley. R. biserrata , Merat. — A. Deseglise. A 
plant under same name from near Bishop Auckland, Durham, 
September, 1880. — J. P. Soutter. Near arvatica. — J. G. Baker. 
Rosa Reuteri , Godet. By the Oyce of Firth, Orkney, August, 
1880. — J. T. Boswell. Sent also from same locality by H. Halcro 
Johnston. 
Rosa subcristata , Baker, form, (fide Baker). Oyce of Firth, 
Orkney, August, 1880. — J. T. Boswell. 
Rosa coriifolia , Fries. Brusselton, near Bishop Auckland, 
Durham, October, 1880. — J. P. Soutter. Not typical; the sepals 
should be decidedly persistent and the leaves simply serrate. — J. G. 
Baker. 
Rosa canina , L., var Borreri ? Mary Knowl, near Ludlow, 
Herefordshire, July, 1878 . — Augustin Ley. R. Borreri, Woods ? 
A. Deseglise. Mr. Baker considers this neither R. Borreri nor R. 
marginata , but rather verticillacan tha . — J. G. 
Rosa Baker i, Desegl. Pooley Bridge, Westmoreland, Aug., 1880. 
— Bolton King. Mr. Baker now considers this Watsoni '* — J. G. 
Rosa corymbifera , Borkh., fide M. Deseglise. West border ot 
Bentley Wood, South Wilts, June and September, 1880. A handsome, 
strongly-arching, well-marked bush, plainly belonging to the aggregate 
stylosa, Desv. “ Hairy variety, near opaca ” is Mr. Baker’s note on 
the label of the specimen I sent him before communicating with 
M. Deseglise ; but it may be at once distinguished from opaca (as 
described in Mr. Baker’s monograph) by the long bristly peduncles 
and the leaflets narrowed to the base, and hairy above as well as 
beneath. The hairiness of the plant is most remarkable, the leaves 
being whitish-green beneath and tomentosa-like in tint and texture 
above ; while petioles, stipules, bracts, and even the long leaf-pointed 
pinnate sepals are all densely clothed with silky hairs, long and short. 
The flowers are creamy white, and the calyx-tubes and fruits very 
slender elliptic. — W. Moyle Rogers. Mr. Baker considers that this 
belongs to the Stylosce, and is near his Desvauxii. M. Deseglise, in 
his Catalogue Raisonne, places R. corymbifera , Borkh., among his 
Ca 7 iince Collince , and in the clavis to that section gives the characters 
“ folioles simplement dentees,” “ styles herisses,” “ fleur rose,” 
“pedoncules reunis en corymbe, folioles ovales, aigues aux deux 
extremity, ” with most of which Mr. Rogers’s specimens do not 
agree.— J. G. 
Members will please alter labels. — J. G.
