almost confined to midrib, and some peduncles hispid. — W. 
Barclay. 
Rosa \Borreri, Woods, var.]. Wadenhoe, Northants, July 1910. 
Two packets : nearly but not quite identical. On one Major 
Wolley-Dod remarks : “ Group correct, but leaflets not broad 
enough, nor nearly hairy enough for R. Borreri, Woods. It seems 
to be at least as near to R. sclerophylla, Scheutz ; but I cannot 
be quite sure what is meant by that.” On the other his remark 
is “a little further removed both from Borreri and sclerophyllaP 
The rose, whatever its correct name may be, was abundant in the 
neighbourhood of Wadenhoe, Northants. Peduncles slightly aci- 
culate. — Augustin Ley. Not R. Borreri, Woods, which differs in 
being much more strongly biserrate, and in several other respects, 
nor is it, in my opinion, of that group. It belongs to the sub- 
group Deseglisei, but is on a much larger, scale than Boreau’s species, 
and has much stouter and more numerous glandular setae on the 
peduncles. It looks much like specimens which have been placed 
to R. Burnati, Burn, and Grem., for me from Cheshire, but it does 
not agree with Keller’s description. — A. H. Wolley-Dod. Though 
not quite identical, both specimens evidently belong to the same 
variation. Probably they belong to R. Borreri, Woods {tomentella, 
L^m.), but are certainly aberrant forms. One specimen has a de- 
velopment of glands on the branches which is very unusual in 
this group. — W. Barclay. 
Rosa . Northants and Hunts, August 1910. This rose 
is common in the neighbourhood of Huntingdon, and in various 
places in North Northampton. It is probably one of the plants 
placed by continental botanists under R. subglobosa, Sm. ( = /L 
Sherardi, Davies), but is in my judgment much nearer to R. iomen- 
tosa, Sm., than to R. Sherardi, Davies. It differs from usual 
R. tonmitosa, Sm., in the nearly globose fruits, which retain their 
calyx longer, the sepals assurgent and becoming horizontal before 
falling off. It forms a large and strong bush ; the clusters of flower 
often large: habit of R. tomentosa. Mr. Hunnybun informs me 
that the flowers (in Hunts) are white. This is one of the forms 
which must eventually be given a name, unless previously fitted 
with one from the continent. Seen by Wolley-Dod, who how- 
ever gives no definite opinion. — Augustin Ley. This would un- 
doubtedly be labelled R. subglobosa, Sm., by continental botanists, 
as well as by most British ones ; and though I have a decided 
leaning towards R. Sherardi, Dav. (its synonym), it is not quite 
like that species, while if really a member of the Tomeniosa group, 
as Mr. Ley thinks, of course it cannot be Davies’s species. 1 have 
not yet found a satisfactory name for the Sherardi-\\}&.t members
