Decandolle and published in his cata-log-ue under the name of R. nivea. There, however,can be no doubt that this is what was intended in theHortus Keivensis for R. sinica, which name 1 havetherefore retained. It may be necessary to observe,that Linnieus had another plant in view for R. sinica,which is noticed in my remarks upon R. hidica. I have already pointed out the differences betweenthis and R. hvvi^ata under the latter species. Theirheps are so similar that I have never been able to dis-tinguish them. Fruit of R. sinica, gathered nearMacao, where it is common, I have received from , and of R. Iccvigata from Mr. Fraser. The tab. 16 is copied from a Chinese drawing in thepossession of the Right Honourable Sir Joseph Banks. 72. ROSA reciirva. R. stipulis subulati
