A remarkable variety is cultivated in some of the nur- 

 series under the name of R, Roxburghit; it is weaker in its 

 manner of growth, has very narrow leaves and little disposi- 

 tion to flower. 



Shrub 12-15 feet high: branches runnerlike, somewhat 

 climbing, furless, rubescently green, with two crooked 

 equal stipular prickles. Leaves very opaque, cinereous, 

 stipules linearly pinnatifid (or feathercleft) at the edge, cot- 

 tony underneath: petioles highly villous: leaflets 5-7 some- 

 what imbricate, lanceolate, wrinkled, simply serrate, cot- 

 tony on both sides. Flowers of a delicate blush red, closely 

 corymbose; bractes linear, toothed, cottony on the outside; 

 the peduncles, the depressed tube of the calyx, the simple 

 ovate cqlycine leaflets all of them covered with a thick 

 cottony fur: petals always multiplied (or in many rows) in 

 the plants we see in our gardens. Styles dilated hairy 

 grown together into an elongated column. Fruit unknown. 

 Lindley XfSS.
