R. caesius x corylifolius. Near Netherton, S. Lancashire, July 
1898. — J. A. Wheldon. “Mr. Rogers says this is a corylifolius 
hybrid. I suggest that the other parent is ccesius” — J. A. W. “Very 
near R, sublustris, Lees. It is the panicle only that suggests the idea 
of hybridity.”— W. M. R.

had frequent opportunities of studying the living bushes of this rose 
since I "first discovered it 21 years ago, and I have had a growing 
conviction for some time that it is of hybrid origin, i.e., R. arvensis x 
systyla. It is just intermediate between these two strongly-marked 
species, and it occurs only (so far as I have seen) where both are 
abundant, and then always somewhat sparingly, though I know many 
localities for it in Devon and Dorset, besides one in Wilts. I have 
always called the petals pure white and they seem uniformly so in 
the freshly-opened flowers and in the full buds immediately before 
expansion. The fairly-large buds, however, are usually pink tipped, 
and the fading petals faintly pinkish. — W. M. R. 
Cratcegus oxyacanthoides x monogyna. Miller’s Dale, Derby-
