The plant intended by Smith under this name differs from the 

 type by having the leaves less hairy, and, consequently, greener 

 and harsher. They are often very nearly naked on the upper 

 surface when mature, and are hairy principally on the ribs be- 

 neath, and scarcely at all glandular. The prickles are straight 

 and slender, and the fruit ovate and usually densely acicu- 

 late. This is a widely dispersed variety ; but many of Winch's 

 specimens, and the plant described by Woods, do not belong to 

 it. On this point I quite indorse Smith's remarks in the * English 

 Flora,' vol. ii. p. 384. Lindley's var. resinosa (Monog. p. 77) is 

 essentially the same, with deep-coloured flo^^ers, very narrow 

 leaves, and very sharp compound teeth.

Prickles stouter than in the type, and slightly curved. Leaves 

 naked above when mature, thinly hairy, and conspicuously glan- 

 dular beneath, with densely glanduloso-setose hairy petioles ; 

 stipules and bracts slightly hairy and glandular on the back ; 

 peduncles and ovate fruit densely aciculate and glanduloso- 

 setose. 



I now believe my Jundzilliana to be essentially the same as 

 Lindley's sylvestris^ and not worth regarding as more than a 

 variety of tomentosa. Mr. Webb's original Cheshire plant had 

 robust uncinate prickles, flowers often 6-10 in a cluster and 

 broad cordate leaflets, recalling the aspect of the Gallicana group ; 

 but the average of the variety, as represented in my fasciculus, 

 differs principally from scahriuscula by the leaves being consider- 

 ably glandular beneath. 



Var. OBOVATA, Baker, 



Prickles uncinate ; leaflets obovate-oblong, with a subdeltoid 

 base and very deep and compound upper teeth, grey-green, soon 

 quite naked on the upper surface, thinly hairy and glandular 

 beneath ; the petiole densely downy, but not glanduloso-setose ;
