ROSA Eglanteria concava.
Concave-leaved Eglantine Rose.

SPECIFIC CHARACTER. Rose with egg-shaped seed-buds: peduncles hispid and glandular; flowers grow in  racemes; petals concave and purpl; leaflets ovate, pointed, and concave; stem and petioles prickly.

Our drawing of this Sweet-briar was made from a plant in 1819, at the Hammersmith Nursery, called Rosa racemosa, which is more or less applicable to all Eglantine Roses. The specific title we have adopted, is, with one or two exceptions, the exclusive character of this plant, whose flowers as well as leaves are all concave, and resemble little spoons. It flowers during the latter part of Summer until the middle of Autumn.
