Temperate Himalayas; from Kumaun, alt. 7000 ft., to Sikktm, alt. 4-7000 ft., 

 J. B. H, Khasia Mts., alt. 3-4000 ft. Ava and Martaban Hills, Kur z , —Bistro. 

 Java. Naturalised and cultivated in the tropics and warm temperate regions; 

 flowers often double. 



Sie?ns erect or inclined; branches slender, glabrous, pubescent or almost villous, 

 as are the petioles and peduncles, sometimes crinite with long dark-brown spreading 

 simple or gland-tipped hairs (i?. sorbifolius, Maxim.) ; prickles sometimes very 

 numerous, mostly straight on the stem and hooked on the petiole leaflets and in- 

 florescences. Leaves 2-5 in. long, bright green, never glaucous or white beneath ; 

 petiole slender, often prickly ; leaflets 1-2 in., rarely more, membranous or coriaceous, 

 sessile or petiolulate , stipules linear-lanceolate or filiform, long-acuminate. Flowers 

 J-1 in. diam. ; peduncles usually slender, prickly. Calt/x glabrous or pubescent, not 

 prickly, tube small ; lobes acute or acuminate or hair-pointed, or drawn out to a 

 serrated limb nearly an inch long; spreading in fruit. Petals orbicular-obovate. 

 Carpels excessively numerous, glabrous, on a villous receptacle. Fruit globose or 

 more often oblong ; drupes smaller than in any other species ; stone deeply pitted.-^ 

 R. paniculatus, Roxb, (R. Eoxburghianus, Wall Cat. 732.) from the Moluccas is 

 B, parvifolius, Linn. & Rumph. (Amboin. v. t. xlvii.), and perhaps o^so B . fraxim- 

 /alms, Poir. ; it has larger leaves and smaller calyx and fruit than rosfpfolm- ■"• 

 Javaiiicits, Celebicus and others are in various respects intermediate, and all may 

 prove forms of one common Malayan plant.
