Hab. About Montreal. Dr. Pat/ne, (ex Bif/ei.) — I have no authentic specimen of this plant, and cannot 

 therefore offer an opinion upon it. 



9. II. trivialls; caule procumbente sarmentoso aculeato, rainis subinermibus, foliis ter- 

 natisj foliolis ovalibus acutis ineequaliter serratis glabris, stipulis lineari-acuminatis, floribus 

 axUlaribus pedunculatis solitariis et terminalibus racemosis, calycis segmentis ovatis acutis 

 niarginibus albo-tomentosis corolla duplo brevioribus. — Mich. Am. v. I. p. 296, Pursh, Fl,

Hab. Canada, near Quebec. Mrs. Percival. NeM'foundland. Dr, Morrison. — My specimens of this plant 

 are almost wholly destitute of aculei upon the youngs branches j but they agree in every respect Ti-ith those I 

 possess from Boston, gathered by Dr. Boott, which are the same as Professor Bi<^a'lo\v's plant. The flowers 

 are remarkably large, and I find the calyx to liave always a distinct white downy edge. I am inclined to 

 think, judging from the specimens that I have received from Dr. Torrey, and from his description, that he 

 has confounded the R. trivialis with the R. obovatus, Mich.

Hab. Canada. Linn.—'Lmnxns could not have well understood this plant, or he would scarcely have 



referred it to the E. odoratus figured in Mill. Ic. t. 223. Sir James E. Smith says that it is very unlike aU the 



rest of the genus, having so many leaflets. The plant I have received from Dr. Torrey as the R. Canadensis 



is a var. of R. triflorus. Rich, with quinate leaves, which I have also from Dr. Boott, gathered near Boston, 



and whose leaflets, in a very luxuriant state, may be again divided, so as to accord with the Linntean plant. 



Michaux does not notice it ; nor do I possess any Rubus from Canada which quite agrees with Linnaus's 

 description. 



11. ^. obovatus; caule gracili longe procumbente aculeis setosis copiosis, ramis brevibus, 

 foliis trifoliolatis vel pedatim quinatis sempervirentibus, foliolis breve petiolulatis vel subses- 

 silibus obovatis grosse inaequaliter serratis, floribus terminalibus paniculatis parvis, calycis 

 segmentis ovatis acutis corolla duplo brevioribus. (Tab. LX.)— R, obovalis. Mich. Am.

 from Dr, Bigelow.)

• Sennge, in De CandoUe, refers the R. trivialis of Mich, to R. hispidus of Linn. But Sir J. E. Smith says 

 that Lmnaeus's plant is more nearly alHed to R. saxatilis.
