Rosa tomentosa , Sm., var. ? Aysgarth, North Yorkshire, June 1896. 
— J. A. Wheldon. “This is R. mollis , Sm., var.” — F. Crepin. 
R. tomentosa , Sm., var. subglobosa , Sm. Glanyre, Radnorshire, 
August 1894. Coll. Capt. Steuart; Com. J. A. Wheldon. “L’echan- 
tillon que vous m’avez envoye sous ce nom apparient etre la meme 
variation que le precedent R. scabrata , Crepin. Il-y-a du avoir con- 
fusion dans son envoi.” — Francois Crepin. 
R. tomentosa , Sm., var. subglobosa , Sm. Church Stretton, Salop, 
July 1897. — W. H. Painter. “ R. tomentosa , Sm. var.” — F. Crepin. 
“Strictly speaking this should be R. mollisima , Willd., var. siibglobosa 
(Sm.). Smith described subglobosa as a species. The R. mollissima of 
Willdenow, ‘Prod. FI. Berol.,’437 (1787), is identical with R. tomentosa 
according to M. Crepin, and is earlier, since Smith described tomentosa 
in ‘FI. Brit.,’ ii., p. 539 (1800).” — G. Claridge Druce. 
R. sepium , Thuill. (R. agrestis, Savi). Pyrton Hill, Oxfordshire, 
September 1897. I found a strong healthy bush of this rose on the 
north escarpment of the Oxfordshire chalk downs last September. 
This is a considerable extension of its southernly range in the county. — 
G. Claridge Druce. 
Rosa canina , L. ; dumalis (Bechst.). Odiham, North Hampshire, 
14th June and 4th August 1897. I have observed this rose for many 
years growing in a hedge on clay soil, but as the hedge is frequently 
cut down, I could not get a flower ; I therefore transplanted a sucker 
into chalk soil, under a wall, where I could watch it. It is growing 
luxuriantly, and last year flowered for the first time. The peculiarity 
of the colour of the leaves remains of the same red tone on both soils. 
The flowers are a light pink. — C. E. Palmer. “ M. Crepin put it 
under R. dumalis , Bechstein, which is, I think, the R. sarmentacea of 
Woods in ‘Linn. Soc. Trans.,’ ii. (1813), 213.” — G. C. Druce. 
R. celerata , Baker? Aysgarth, North Yorkshire, June 1896. — 
J. A. Wheldon. This is “ R. canina, Linn., variation du groupe 
R. scabrata , Crepin. Glandes rares sur les nervures secondaires, 
styles glabres ou glabrescents.” — F. Crepin. 
Saxifraga Geitm, L., var. crenata. From Collinton Woods, Edin- 
burgh. Naturalised; June 1891. — J. Cosmo Melvill.

nth June 1897. Sent as a new county record for 42 .— Charles
