Taxonomic Comments

A polyploid believed to be of ancient hybrid origin (cf. Intl Code Botanical Nomen., St. Louis ed. (2000), Art. H.3.3, Note 1, Example 3, regarding taxa of hybrid origin that are not treated as hybrids). LEM 17Oct01. FNA (vol. 9, 2014) expands the concept of Rosa canina to include R. dumetorum, while Kartesz (1994) here treats them as distinct.
