in passing: (1) a group including the forms with more erect 

 habit, and glabrous or hairy shoots, with equal prickles, 

 and the sepals pilose or tomentose ; (2) a group of forms 

 with the typical arching shoots rooting at the ends, and 

 more or less hairy, with the prickles confined to the angles 

 and nearly equal; (3) a group, also with the typical 

 arching and scrambling shoots, often pubescent or to- 

 mentose, glandular and setose; with the larger, unequal, 

 hooked prickles on the angles and smaller ones scattered 

 elsewhere; the leaves frequently hoary beneath; (4) a 

 group remarkable for their hairy, arched shoots, and very 

 unequal and scattered prickles, mingled with setae and 

 even glandular hairs; (5) a group with more rounded and 

 prostrate shoots, remarkable for their glaucous bloom
