452 Rubus villosus. 
rarius herb semper inermes; folia simplicia aut ternata aut digitata, aut pin- 
nata in Rubis quibusdam Commersonianis habitu similibus Ross; flores ter- 
minales aut et rarils axillares, racemoso-paniculati aut rarius solitarii, in R. 
odorato corymbosi et abortu dioici. R. Chamaemorus sub terra monoica et ex- 
tus dioica, radicibus maris et feminz junctis, caulibus distinctis, observante 
post Solandrum Linnzo. Juss. Gen. Plant. ed. 1789. p. 338. 
Cal. Patens, 5-fidus. Pet. 5. Bacca composita, acinis monospermis. 
Gen. Ch. Cal. Perianth inferior, of one leaf, flattish, in five oblong, spreading, sim- 
ple, permanent segments. Cor. Petals five, roundish or oblong, somewhat 
spreading, inserted into the calix, and usually about the length of its segments. 
Stam. Filaments numerous, shorter than the corolla, inserted into the ca- 
lix ; anthers roundish, compressed. Pist. Germens numerous, altogether su- 
perior ; styles small, capillary, one springing from the side of each germen; 
stigmas simple, permanent. Peric. Berry compound, consisting of several 
roundish pulpy grains, each of one cell, collected into a convex head, hollow 
underneath, inserted upon a conical spongy permanent receptacle, and at length 
deciduous. Seeds solitary, oblong, compressed. 
Oss, ‘The separate juicy grains, which compose the general berry, are usually 
so attached to each other, that they cannot be disunited without lacerating. In 
R, saxatilis they are distinct. R. Chamaemorus is not, as Linneus first thought, 
dioecious, but monoecious; Dr. Solander having observed that the male and 
female flowers grow from one root, though on separate stems. Each flower 
of this species has indeed both stamens and pistils, though, in one or other 
flower, one part is imperfect. 
Ess. Ch. Calix in five simple segments. Petals five. Berry superior, composed of 
single-seeded grains, deciduous. Receptacle permanent. Ency. 
Rvugvs villosus; pubescens, hispidus, aculeatusque; foliis 3-5-digitatis, foliolis ovato- 
oblongis, acuminatis, serratis, utrinque pubescentibus, caulibus petiolisque acu- 
leatis, calice brevi acuminato, racemo laxo, pedicellis solitariis.
