 extremity. Petals ovate, obtuse. 



Hab. On the Rocky Mountains. 



Obs. This species resembles R. odoratus, but is more 

 neàrly allied to R. nutkanus. It differs from the latter, parti- 

 cularly in not being glntinous, and in the smooth calyx, 

 which is longer than the petals. D r James states that the 

 fruit is large and delicious.
