Rubus. ICOSANDRIA POLYGYNIA. 517 
vex, very hairy, receptacle, one-celled, containing one 
ovula attached to the top of the cell. Style the length of 
the germ, permanent. Stigma simple. . Seeds, rather, 
partial berries, for they are so, from one to six, generally 
three or four, distinct, obliquely ovate, smooth, red and 
succulent ; when dry wrinkled, almost chocolate-coloured. 
Integuments two, the exterior one sublucid; the inner one 
membranaceous. Perisperm none. Embryo inverse, Coty- 
ledons ovate, conform to the seed. Radicle superior. 
It ought to be compared with Dr. Smith’s Rubus 
‘pyrifolius. To me it appears to differ from his figure and 
description, in the leaves being broader and .cordate at 
the base ; in all the calycine segments being undivided, 
and lastl y in the petals being only alittle, say one-fourth, 
shorter than the calyx. ;
