R. coreana Keller in Engler, ] a hr buck, vol. xliv. p. 46 (1909) [non R. koreana

Stems long ; prickles stout, equal, scattered, falcate. Leaflets 7-9, elliptical, 
acute, i-i| in. long, simply openly toothed, glabrous on the upper surface, pubescent 
on the midrib beneath ; petioles slightly glandular; stipules adnate, narrow, denticu- 
late, with narrow, acute, divergent free tips. Flowers many, arranged in a corymbose 
panicle ; pedicels long, naked ; bracts linear. Calyx-tube globose, naked ; lobes ovate 
with a linear tip, slightly compound, glabrous on the back. Petals white, about an 
inch long. Styles glabrous, united in a protruded column. Fruit not seen. 
This new species is nearly allied to Rosa multi-flora Thunb., from 
which it differs by its non-laciniated stipules and larger flowers. It 
was found near Kan-ouen-to, in the Korea, by the Abbe Faurie. 
Rosa koreana of Komarov is closely allied to Rosa spinosissima L.
