REPORT FOR 1909. 
455 
Rosa seposita, Desegl. ? [ref. No. 1855]. Slopes near Pebble- 
cornbe Hill, Surrey, v.-c. 17, Sept. 17, 1909. A very curious species of 
the Siylosa group. Mon's. Sudre labelled it It. stylosa \ds. parvula, 
Sauz. and Maill. (as a species), but that should have its toothing 
mostly simple, though I have seen an authentic specimen equally 
unarmed. R. anceps. Bout., has biserrate leaflets and a weak flaccid 
habit, but has hispid glandular peduncles, though I believe smooth 
peduncled forms of it are known in Central Europe. On the whole 
it agrees best with R. seposita., Desegl., which has biserrate leaflets, 
smooth peduncles and hispid styles, as in the Pebblecombe plant, 
though many of the styles are glabrous. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. 
I don’t know anything of R. seposiia, Desegl., but this seems to 
come pretty near R. hemiiricha. Rip. — W. Barclay, 
Pyrus Malus, L., var. sylvestris [ref. No. 695]. Native in 
wood, near Loch Achilty, E. Ross, v.-c. io6, July 15, 1908. 
New County record. — W. A. Shoolbred. Is not this the common 
form in Scotland ? — G. C. Druce. The really wild Crab-tree ; 
distinct from the progeny of cultivated apples. I believe that, if 
carefully looked for, this will prove to be more common than is 
generally supposed. — J. W. White, 
Pyrus latifolia, Syme (Sorbus latifolia, Pers.). [ref. No. 3370]. 
Near Conan, v.-c. 106, E. Ross, July 16, 1909. A single tree, 
which I first found in this station in 1892; about 40 feet high, 
vigorous, and fruiting freely. Dr. T. Hedlund, the monographer of 
Sorbus, names it S. latifolia. Status uncertain ; it may have been 
planted, though not obviously introduced. The European distri- 
bution of the species is against its occurrence as a native in Scotland ; 
but I have not seen it in gardens. — E. S. Marshall. Sorbus 
latifolia, Hedlund. — A. Ley. Excellent latifolia, akin to the 
Minehead plant rather than to that of Bristol. — J. W. White. 
Also sent by W. A. Shoolbred [ref. No. 694]. 
Pyrus Aria, Ehrh., var. Hill between Farmcote and Ford, E. 
Glos., v.-c. 33, July ig, 1909. “I believe this to be what Hedlund 
calls Sorbus Aria sensu st?-icto." — A. Ley. Leaves small and narrow, 
deeply serrate-lobed, cuneate- based. — H. J. Riddelsdell. Hed- 
lund must not be quoted as pronouncing this to be “ A. Aria sensu 
strictol' He now (Dec, 1909) writes that he has never seen S. Aria 
sensu stricto from Britain. — A. Ley. This is not typical P. Aria as 
I have learnt it, but a variation (trivial it may be) of a most vaiiable 
tree. — J. W. White. 
Pyrus Aria, YI\x\\., forma. Great Doward, Herefordshire, v.-c. 
36, July 26, 1909. “One of the forms lying between Sorbus Aria 
sensu stricto ^.nd. var. incisa (Reichb.),” Hedlund. — A. Ley. Not 
typical P. Aria as I understand it.— J. W. White.
