In the Rosarum Monographia it is stated, that there is no foundation for. an assertion made by M. Thory, that Rosa moschata is a native of Hindostan. Nor was there; the R. glandulifera of Roxb. being avowedly a garden plant. We have, however, been lately favoured by the communication from the collection of his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, of a Rose raised from Nepal seed, which appears to us to be decidedly a variety of R. moschata. It differs, indeed, in some respects, from the African type of the species, especially in the length of the leaves and in the form of its petals, but in other respects it does not appear to vary; and experience has shown us, that such differences are unimportant.
It was, we confess, unexpected by us, that an African species of Rose should be found in Southern Asia; as we had believed that the form of R. moschata was there represented only by R. Brunonii. But we find in our surprise on the 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 therefore confirms the goodness of the latter species. R. moschata 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. Pronville, we are informed by the worthy editor, that the tree Rose of Persia, which was raised from seed brought by Olivier from Ispahan, 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. J. L. [John Lindley]

ROSA Napaulensis.
Napaul Rose.

SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Rose with ovate smooth seed-buds and long glaucous peduncles; flowers terminate the
branches in loose clusters; blossom single, small, and of a yellowish white; leaves winged; leaflets oblong, pointed, and sawed, rough on their upper surface and glaucous beneath; footstalks hispid and prickly: stem hispid, spines scattered.

This new species of Rose is said to be a native of Napaul; and, if we may judge from a circumstance, autumnal blooming, as our figure was made late in August 1823 at the Hammersmith Nursery, where it flowered for the first time in this country. Mr. Brown, who superintends that collection, informed us that the blossoms lasted only one day: but from its recent introduction, it is impossible to speak decidedly as to their duration from this solitary instance,
although it may incline us to regard them as fugacious.

ROSA Brunonii
Shrub with the appearance of R. moschata. Old branches sparingly hairy, stout, armed with scattered, short, strong, hooked prickles; younger ones downy and glandular-their prickles falcate...leaflets 5-7, lanceolate, flat, simply serrate, hairy all over, dull green above, paler beneath...Flowers in bunches....stamens and styles like those of moschata.
This highly interesting addition to the division of Roses with united styles is a native of Nepal, whence it has been sent by Dr. Wallich.....
From moschata it differs in having hairy and glandular leaves, branchlets, and calyx; the leaflets also have an entirely different outline.
