| notes: | R. dumetorum, Thuill. Glebe hedges, Knighton, Radnor, 8th August 1899. M. Crepin writes of this: "I do not think that this form belongs to the coriifolia group, although its sepals are ascending. Its styles are not woolly as in R.coriifolia, and, besides, its general facies is not that of the latter. Perhaps one should see in this form a variety of R. canina of a group near T. dumetorum, with teeth often a little glandular. R. implexa has the leaflets glabrous excepting the midrib". I had suggested the alternative names, R. coriifolia, Fr., or R. implexa, Gren., to M. Crepin, on account of the (usually) strongly-ascending sepals, but his comment on this character in many examples is often "sepales redresses accidentellement," so it appears that that character is not to be relied on. - A.
