R. sylvestris minor flore albo. Raï Syn. 455. 
Frutex altitudine 2—4-pedalis ; surculis longissimis, decumbentibus, flagelliformibus, juni- 
oribus glaucescentibus, senioribus viridibus. Rami vagi, debiles, glauco-virides e luce 
purpureo-fusci, aculeati; aculei surculorum sparsi, basi latissimi, mucrone plerumque 
adunco instructi, ramorum graciliores. Petioli nunc hirti nunc glandulosi, rarius 
utrumque aculeati. Svipule lineares, apicem versus nunc serrate nunc glanduloso- 
nunc piloso-ciliatæ, glabræ, ez floribus cymosis propiores foliis gradatim deficientibus, 
: demum in bracteas lanceolatas, vix stipulis latiores, immutate. Foliola 5, par in- 
ferius ceteris minus, elliptica vel subrotundo-elliptica, plana, crenato-serrafa, interdum 
apicem versus inciso-serrata, nervo interdum subtus pilosa, sepius utrinque glaber- 
rima. Pedunculi 1—8, interdum etiam usque ad 15, elongati, glandulis subsessili- 
bus induti. Receptaculum plerumque ovatum, rarius in locis sterilibus subglobosum, 
fuseum, glabrum. Calycis foliola ovata vel subrotundo-ovata, nunc hirta nune- 
glandulosa, pinnulis parvis lanceolatis integerrimis hic illic instructa, Flores albi, 
expansi. Styli in columellam glabram persistentem porrecti ; stigmata in globulum 
congesta. Fructus formå multum variat, ab elliptico- oblongo etiam ad accurate 
globosum, posterior tamen vix nisi in pedunculis solitariis invenitur: maturi color san-
