Prickles more slender than in the plants of the last series ; the 

 habit, leaves, armature, and toothing like that of lutetiana, but 

 the peduncles shorter and almost or quite hidden by the large clasp- 

 ing bracts, the flowers often deeper in colour, and sepals and fruit 

 of the character just indicated. Leaves and calyx-tube glaucous. 

 Bracts, stipules, and branches in exposure suffused with red. 

 Fruit moderate or large-sized, ovate-oblong or subglobose. Sepals 

 often (but not always) glandular on the back. 



This appears to be widely diffused through the hilly tracts of 

 the north of England. I am indebted to Dr. Eapin for a supply 

 of Swiss specimens. Till lately the Swiss botanists always put it 

 with ruhrifoliaj with which it closely corresponds in general as- 

 pect, but which has the sepals always simple and falling sooner, 

 small round fruit, and longer peduncles.

Bears just the same relation to dumalis that the last does to 

 lutetian<i. It is not unfrcquent through the hilly tracts of the 

 north of England ; and Mr. Watson gathered it in Perthshire. A 

 plant like this, but w^ith deep-red flowers and aciculate peduncles, 

 by the Swale-side, near Keld.

Prickles moderately close and numerous, the large ones thick- 

 ened and falcate, but passing down rather abruptly into numerous 

 stout straight unequal aciculi. Leaves like those of the last form, 

 but the fruit not ripening so early, and the sepals becomiug 

 sooner disarticulated, and styles not so densely villose. 



North Yorkshire, near Sutton under Whitstoncliff (Bal'er): 

 and a similar form, amongst Mr. Hailstone's Eoses, without locali-
