 or not ; stipules setaceous, quite entire. Flowers much crowded, f in. diam. ; bracts 

 setaceous, very tomentose. Calyx densely tomentose and bristly; lobes lanceolate, 

 acuminate, quite entire. Petals obovate-oblong. Carpels with long silky hairs, not 

 tomentose as in the ordinary forms of B. lasiocarpus. Fruit globose, of many fleshy 

 orange-red almost glabrous drupes ; stone deeply pitted.— This is possibly another 

 extreme form of R, lasiocarpus, which (like R. racemosus) has become glandular.

Branches cylindric, slender, glabrous, with usually straight slightly compressed 

 pnckles. Leaves 2-4 in. ; petiole very slender, sparingly hairy, with numerous 

 fctrongly hooked prickles ; leaflets ^-J in., equally clothed with long soft flexuous 

 .^aiTij on both surfaces, acute or acuminate. Peduncle clothed and armed like the 

 pwioles, 1 in., always 1-flowered. Calyx-tube ^ in. diam., quite clothed with spread- 

 ing straight shining prickles ; lobes large, ovate-lanceolate, long-acuminate, quite 

 a*^' Pubescent on both surfaces, erect in fruit. Petals small, purple according to 

 nffith's notes. StaTuens very numerous. Carpels numerous, villous, with long 

 Straight white hairs. Fruit small, of 6-12 subpubcscent drupes; stone reniform, 

 fwgosely pitted. — This appears to be in every way a very distinct species, but it is 

 impossible to say to what extent more copious materials may mcKlify the above 

 ^description ; it is allied to R, sikkimensis, H. f , and pungens, Camb.
