Summary

Wrote to Joseph Woods regarding 'Rosa systala' and his paper on 'Rosa' for "Linnean Transactions", transcribes part of Woods' reply. Woods explains an apparent confusion caused between 'Rosa systala' and [Nicaise Auguste] Desvaux's [(1784-1856) French botanist] 'Rosa stylosa', not having seen Desvaux's "Flore d'Anjou" at the time of his paper.
