Abstract

Rosa forrestiana var. maculata, a new variety of the genus Rosa from northwest Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated here. This new variety is primarily distinguished from the type variety, Rosa forrestiana var. forrestiana, by its purple spots at the petal base, a rare character in wild Rosa resources. We show the morphological features of this new variety with illustrations and photographs.
