Rosa sericea.....
a. typica; glabrous branches, pink five-petalled blooms. R. sericea Lindl. Ros. mon. p.105, tab.12. [Lindley possibly had not seen a bloom, as he pictures a light pink, 5-petalled single; Regel propagates the error as R. sericea typica]
b. tetrapetala; glabrous branches, white 4-petalled blooms. R. sericea Royle ill. tab.42, fig. 1. R. Wallichii Tratt. Ros. II.193. [= R. sericea var. omeiensis]
c. Hookeri; branches downy-glandulous, blooms white, 4-petalled. R. sericea Hook. bot. mag. tab. 5200. [= R. sericea var. sericea]
d. subinermis, branches unarmed to armed with scarce prickles.
