ROSACES. 231 



diameter, slightly 5-lobed, rounded at the apex, base cordate, lobes rounded, 

 irregularly denticulate, palmately 5-7 nerved, somewhat pilose above, villosely 

 tomeutose and pallid beneath, veins prominent beneath, stipules laciniate, 

 13 mm. long. Flowers axillary, solitary or in pairs, pedunculate, ped- 

 uncles 1 cm. long, 2-3 bracteolate, bracteoles minute laciniate. Calyx- 

 lobes ovate, laciniate at the apex, tomsntose, 1 cm. long. Stones drupaceous. 

 HAB. Mt. Morrison, Bioritsu, Hakkeirin. The present rubus is near 

 li. pedindlus MAXIM. ; but differs from it in having unarmed sepals and rive 

 lobed leaves. The leaves are much more tomentose, and somewhat 

 tuberculate on the upper surface. 



Rubus pungens CAMS. var. Oldhami MAX. (det. KOIZUMI). 



HAB. Central Mountain Eauges, by U. MORI, 1910. 



I am merely following Mr. G. KOIZUMI in referring this plant to the 

 above species. It is, in my opinion, a little different from the Japanese 

 species. 



DISTRIB. Japan.
