No one who has once seen this growing is likely to confound it 

 with any other species. The fruit is different from that of invo- 

 luta ; but to all the other distinguishing characters taken singly, 

 some of the forms furnish an exception. 



In general habit, when in flower, the ordinary glabrous Eng- 

 lish form has just the same sort of resemblance to typical canina 

 that Doniana has to mollissima. Though so widely distributed in 

 Britain, hihernica is quite unknown upon the Continent. The 

 nearest plant to it is B. Schultzii^ Eipart in Schultz's Archives, 

 p. 254; Deseg. Mon. p. 65; but this has less crowded and less 

 unequal prickles, and ripens its fruit very early.
