114 R. OBOVA^Tus (Tratt. ros. 3. p. 94. Hook. fl. bor. amer. 

 p. 180. t. 60.) stems weak, long, procumbent, beset with nume- 

 rous bristly prickles ; leaflets 3-5, evergreen, on short petioles, 

 or almost sessile, obovate, coarsely and unequally serrated ; 



useful fruits, especially on account of its long duration. Its 

 taste is moderately acid and mucilaginous, with something of the 

 flavour of tamarinds. They are held to be an excellent anti- 

 scorbutic. The Norwegians pack them up in wooden vessels, 

 and send them to Stockholm, where they are served up in des- 

 serts, or made into tarts. The Laplanders bruise and eat them 

 with the milk of the rein-deer. Neill observes, that they are 

 the most grateful kind of fruit gathered by the Scotch High- 

 landers. On the sides and near the bases of the mountains, it 

 flowers terminal, panicled, small ; segments of the calyx ovate, may be collected for several months in succession. It is not 



acute, not half so long as the petals. ")/ . H. Native of North
