without any decided Sweet-briar fragrance, 

 and quite uniform, those of the main stem 3-5 lines long, decidedly 

 falcate and thickened downwards; the scar 4-6 lines deep. Sti- 

 pules varying from naked to densely glandular on the back, co- 

 piously glanduloso-ciliated. Well-developed leaves 2^-3 inches 

 long, with 7 leaflets, the terminal oblong or with an obovate ten- 

 dency, 12-15 lines long by 9-12 lines broad, more pointed than 

 in rubiginosa, the serrations ratber sharper, copiously compound, 

 the upper surface nearly naked, wben old quite so ; the lower 

 surface scattered all over with fine but conspicuous glands ; the 

 aciculi of the petiole usually 2-4 only and subequal. Bracts densely 

 gland-ciliated, but often nearly naked on the back. Peduncles 

 longer than in ruhipnosa, densely aciculate and glanduloso-setose. 

 Calyx-tube narrowly ovate-urceolate, often naked. Petals pale 

 rose, the expanded corolla not much over an inch across. Styles
