shining. — A. Lev. “ Lutetiana, Lem., var. fiitens, Desv., or 
perhaps falle 7 is, Desdg., from the pubescent petioles.” — A. H. 
W.-Dod. 
JRosa biserrata, Merat. Brampton Abbots, Herefordshire, v.-c. 
36, Aug. 13, 1909. — Augustin Ley. I should so label it. — A. 
H. W.-Dod. I should say R. dtimalis, Bechst. — W. Barclay. 
Rosa Burnati, Christ. Coughton, Herefordshire, v.-c. 36, Aug. 
7, 1909. Gathered by me for R. Deseglisei, Bor. — A. Ley. This 
name has been given by M. Sudre to specimens from three or four 
British localities which this closely resembles, though none of them 
agree very well with Christ’s description. It should be a member 
of the dumetorum group. Lanky, small, irregularly or slightly 
biserrate leaflet, very slightly hairy beneath, and usually yellowish 
green in colour. The prickle should be long and straightish, and 
the styles villous. I should like to have got the name of this 
gathering confirmed before circulating it. — A. H. W.-Dod. 
Rosa incouspicua^ Desdg. Mordiford, Herefordshire, v.-c. 36, 
Sept. 14, 1909. — A. Ley. I cannot make this out to be anything 
but a form of R. incojispicua, Deseg., differing from the type in its 
smaller less biserrate leaflets, its subglobose glandular-hispid fruit 
and its very hispid almost woolly styles. The hispid fruit suggests 
R. aspernata, Desdg., but in that species it is usually much more 
strongly armed and all the above objections equally apply. — A. H. 
W.-Dod. This is what I have understood as R. verticillacantha^ 
Merat.— W. Barclay. 
Rosa agraria, Rip. Coughton, Herefordshire, v.-c. 36, Aug. 7, 
1909. The name is Major Wolley-Dod’s ; I had supposed it to be 
R. Lematrei, Rip. — Augustin Ley. “A small leaved form with 
ill-developed fruit.” — A. H. W.-Dod. “ This cannot be R. agraria, 
Rip., if descriptions are worth anything. R. agraria should have 
simple teeth, whilst this plant has them irregularly double with 
many of the secondary teeth gland-tipped. If you take into 
account the one or two glands on one or two of the peduncles, 
you might call it a very weak form of R. verticillacaniha, Merat.” — 
W. Barclay. 
Rosa rhy7ichocarpa^ Rip. Mountain-side, Crickhowell, Brecon, 
v.-c. 42, August 23, 1909. I found a very similar plant last 
year at a mountain station about eight miles from this one ; 
this 1908 plant was sent both to Sudre and Dingier, and they did 
not think it exactly Ripart’s rose.— Augustin Ley. I think 
correctly named, but much smaller in all its parts than usual. It 
is a variety of the lutetiana sub-group, named from its peculiar 
shaped fruit. — A- H. W.-Dod.
