ROSA GALLICA, var. VERSICOLOR 
The first drawing of Rosa Mundi appears to be by Miss Lawrance, 
who has an excellent representation of it under the name of Rosa 
gallica 0 versicolor , Rosa Mundi } It is next figured by Andrews, 2 
whose drawing under the name of Rosa gallica variegata , vel Rosa 
Mundi , gives a good idea of this gay and striking garden favourite. 
There is a still better plate in the Botanical Magazine l and Redoutes 
figure in Les Roses is amongst the most beautiful of the series. 
Seringe 4 calls this Rose Rosa gallica versicolor , and quotes 
Thory’s synonyms of Rosa gallica versicolor , Provins panache , Rosa 
holosericea Lob., Rosa praenestina variegata plena Mill., 5 Rosa Belgica 
carnea rubro striata Roess., Rosa gallica variegata , vel Rosa Mundi
