Hah. North-West coast of America. Menzies. — This appears to bi- a small procumbent species, haviiijf 

 red flowers, small shortly-petioled leaflets, which are exceedingly villous beneath, and very downy br.ni<hes 

 and peduncles. Its nearest affinity is perhaps with R, spectabilis.

 Althou<^h more stra^glino^ in its growth and less aculeated than the R. suberectus of Eiu*ope, I do not sec tliat 

 this differs in other particulars from it. The fruit. Dr. Richardson says, is dark purple.

Hab. Near Montreal. Mr. Cleghom. Lake Huron. Dr. Todd.—T\ns is no less distiiifruished from all 

 the other Canadian species of Rubus by its copions clothing- of down, mixed with p-lnndular hairs, than by 

 its lono- simple racemes of flowers, with their large linear-oblong hractea^, and long alternate and remote 

 pedicels. 1 possess specimens from the United States, sent me by Dr. Boott and Dr. Torrey; and the ipecies 

 seems more universal in the south than in the north.
