one hand, a source of gratification on the other; for the 
discovery of R. moschata in Nepal shows, that it. is not by 
climate alone that R. Brunonii has been formed, and _there- 
fore confirms the goodness of the latter species. R. mos- 
chata being one of the sorts of Rose from which the Attar 
is produced, it is possible that an explanation of its having 
wandered so far from home as Northern India may be 
sought in that circumstance. 
In the edition of our Rosarum Monographia, which has 
lately been translated into French by M. Pronyille, we are 
informed by the worthy editor, that the tree Rose of Persia, 
which was raised from seed brought by Olivier from Ispa- 
han, where it grew to the size of an Apple-tree, flourished, 
for seven or eight years, in a pit in the collection of M. 
Cels; and having there produced both flowers and fruit, 
proved to be Rosa moschata. We have, therefore, reduced 
the R. arborea of Persoon to a variety of that species.
