J^osa [ref. Nos. 680 A and 681 A]. Garve, E. Ross, 
v.-c. 106, July 23, 1909. — W. A. Shoolbred. A form of suberecta, 
Ley. — A. H. W.-Dod. Suberecta. — A. Ley. A*, pomifera, var. 
vogesiaca^ Rouy. — Sudre. 
Rosa omissa, Deseg. Hordersley (on the road to Marslibrook), 
Salop, v.-c. 40, July 9 and Sept. 3, 1909. — A. Ley. Both peduncles 
and sepals are long for omissa and the leaflets are much less glan- 
dular beneath than usual. It seems to me to be between snbmollis, 
Ley, and resinosoides, Crep. — A. H. W.-Dod. This plant does not 
quite come up to the best omissa no doubt, but in my opinion 
the naked fruit often nearly globose and the large bracts mostly 
hiding the peduncles bring it much nearer to omissa, Deseg., than to 
resinosoides, Crep., while the same characters joined to the glandular 
leaf-back effectually bar snbmollis,, Ley ; the glands of the leaf-back 
are unevenly developed as often. — A. Ley. Would like to see 
it in ripe fruit. It certainly is not typical omissa. — W. Barclay. 
Rosa omissa, Des^g., form. Hedge at Longville, Salop, v.-c. 
40, July 14 and Sept, i, 1909. — A. Ley. “Hardly omissa, the 
peduncles seem much too long and the leaflets quite eglandular. 
Either R. Sherardi, Davies, or R. submollis, Ley.” — A. H. W.-Dod. 
I accept the correction and assent to its being R. Sherardi, Davies 
(not snbmollis. Ley) ; the subfoliar glands I thought I had spied 
seem all to have disappeared. — A. Ley. Not omissa certainly. 
Seemingly it would fit Mr. Lqy’s Fseudo-mollis, Sherardi or Andr- 
zeiovii dihowi equally well. — W. Barclay. 
Rosa omissa, Deseg., var. resinosoides, Crep. Sutton Walls, 
Herefordshire, v.-c. 36, Sept. 14, 1909. — A. Ley. “This reminds 
me strongly of R. snbmollis, as represented at South Kensington, in 
its large ellipsoid fruit and moderately long peduncles, but I suppose 
the subfoliar glands make it nearer R. resmosoides, Crep.” — A. H. 
■W.-Dod. The sepals fully persistent on the soft fruit transgress the 
character of the sub-group. — A. Ley. I should like to see more 
and better specimens to make sure that this is not a form of li. 
mollis, Sm., which I am inclined to think it is. — W. Barclay. 
Rosa omissa, Deseg., var. submollis, Ley. Presthope, Salop, 
v.-c. 40, July 14 and Sept. 2, 1909. — A. Ley. “ Either that or 
psendo-mollis, but I see no particular objection to R. Sherardi, 
Davies.” — A. H. W.-Dod. d'he fruit not globular enough (especi- 
ally the primordial fruit of a cluster) for Sherardi : the acicular 
fruit militates against psendo-mollis : the prickle characters are in- 
conclusive : it fits best to snbmollis. — I.ey. 'Fliis is a totally 
different plant from what Mr. Ley formerly sent me under the same 
name. — W. Barclay.
