Smith in Eng. Dot. : 
R. cinnamomea of Roth’s Fl. Germ. i. p. 217, and i1, 554, appears 
to be R. lutea (à bicolor. The above description was taken from 
a garden specimen (with single flowers), for which I am indebted 
to my friend Mr. Borrer. On comparison we found it to agree 
exactly with the figure and description of English Botany. Will- 
denow quotes R. fluvialis Fl. Dan. t. 868, as a variety of this 
plant; but this appears to me very doubtful. R, colliniola Ehr., 
R. majalis Hermann., and R. fecundissima of some German writers, 
are usually, and I believe rightly, considered as synonyms of this 
species; but I have not had sufficient opportunity of investiga- 
tion to decide upon the subject: and Roth describes R. facun- 
dissima with hooked prickles; which certainly causes consider- 
able doubt. Perhaps, too, we must place here R. fraxinifolia of 
Gmelin, Fl. Bad. Alsat. ii. 413. 
The long leaflets with simple serratures would alone be suffi- 
cient
