Rosa hispidula, Rip. Glcwstone, Herefordshire, v.-c. 36, Sep- 
tember 13, 1909. The present plant was characterised by very 
stout, sliarp uncinate prickles.— Augustin Ley. Certainly appears 
nearest this, but it is a very unsatisfactory and ill-defined species. 
These seem to be at least equally near R. incerta, Deseg. — A. H. 
W.-Dod. Seems to me to come into the group of R. Dhiglisei, 
Bor. Perhaps it might be considered as a sub-variety of that 
under the name of incerta, Deseg., owing to the deciduous villosity, 
though in some minor points it does not agree with the description 
of incerta . — W. Barclay. 
Rosa Diseglisei, Bor. Brampton Abbots, Herefordshire, v.-c. 
36, August 12, 1909. — Augustin Ley. Quite correct I think. In 
this species the stalked glands on the peduncles are few and weak, 
and often almost entirely absent on many of them. — A. H. ^V.-DoD. 
Yes. — W. Barclay. 
Rosa . Carve, E. Ross, v.-c. 106, July 23, 1909 [ref. No. 
683 A]. — W. A. Shoolbred. “A. subcristata (Baker).” — A. Ley. 
“ I think near complicata, Cren., but that is almost identical with 
subcristata'' If the identity can be proved, Crenier’s name must 
fall. Baker’s being ii years older. — A. H. W.-Dod. “/A glauca, 
var. venosa, Deseg.” — Sudre. R. glauca, Vill., var. subcristata 
(Baker). — W. Barclay. 
Rosa . Carve, E. Ross, v.-c. 106, July 23, 1909 [ref. No. 
679 A]. — W. A. Shoolbred. Rosa Bakeri (Desdg.), extreme 
form.” — A. Ley. Like No. 684 A, this is one of those forms 
which connect the groups of R. coriifolia and R. tomentosa, of which 
R. Bakeri, Deseg., is one. I see no objection to that name but it 
appears equally near.S. tomentosa, var. obovata, Baker, which I now 
think is really a coriifolia form, as Crdpin has already asserted. It 
differs from Mr. Baker’s type in its leaflets being smaller, its prickles 
longer, more slender, and less hooked, and in its glandular sepals, 
in all of which points it recedes from the coriifolia group towards 
that of R. tomentosa. M. Sudre labelled this “A*. to?nentosa, Sm., 
var. tj'ls curieuse." — A. H. W.-Dod. This certainly comes into that 
group of R. co 7 'i folia, Fr., of which var. Bakeri of the Monograph 
forms a part. It is doubtful, I think, if Dese'glise’s plant belonged 
to the same group. — W. Barclay. 
Rosa coriifolia, Fr., var. Carve, E. Ross, v.-c. 106, July 23, 
1909 [ref. No. 684 A.] — W. A. Shoolbred. Rosa Bakeri !" — A. 
, Ley. “ I think perhaps nearest R. Bakeri or \Vatsoni."-^h.. H. 
W.-Dod. “A form of coriifolia near pseudo-cinerea, Rouy.” — 
Sudre.
