In its best development var. neoecotica has grayish foliage dull 

 above, lustrous beneath, and the leaflets, especially of the new canes 

 so lull as to appear puckered or strongly rugose. Typical R. GLANDI- 

 CAUUS, which was collected by Blanchard at Granville, Annapolis 

 Co. (no. 717), and which is frequent in southern New Brunswick and 

 on Prince Edward Island, is a more slender plant, with the leaves gla- 

 brous and shining above, pubescent but hardly lustrous beneath, 

 and its pedicels almost capillary and usually upwardly arching. 

 Material from Canso {Fowler) is somewhat transitional.
