caule et petiolis aculeatis; aculeis magnis, recurvis; foliolis ovatis, subtus rubiginosis, glanduloso-pilosis.
SPECIFIC CHARACTER.
ROSE, with sweet-scented leaves and egg-shaped seed-buds; peduncles hispid; stem and petioles prickly; prickles large and recurved; the leaflets are ovate, rusty beneath, and glandulosely hairy.
This fine semi-double variety of the Sweet Briar is an acquisition highly esteemed; and so we think will be every addition to this charming species, whose leaves diffuse such aromatic fragrance. In its semi-double flowers only, it is particularly distinct from the Single, and certainly makes a much handsomer appearance. Its flowers are gracefully crowded together, but rarely more than two flowers expand at one time; but the succession of buds approaching maturity gives it a very picturesque appearance. We observed but a slight proportion of the rusty character so powerfully attached to the wild species. Its fruit, when ripening, acquires a beautiful orange red, which is an addition to the plant when out of bloom. There is a paler-coloured variety of this plant, of stouter growth, but which we have not as yet examined with sufficient accuracy, to ascertain whether it is distinct enough to require a separate figure.
Our drawing was made from a fine plant in the nursery of Messrs. Loddige, Hackney.
