salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) . 

 9. Stipules attached for most of their length along leafstalk base 

 (sometimes for more than half of leafstalk length), narrow but 

 conspicuous; berrylike fruits (hips) single or clustered. 



roses (Rosa spp.). 

 14. Leaflets 5-9, shiny green on upper surface, broadly oval, 

 thin; margins doubly saw-toothed; teeth gland-tipped; stems 

 usually green, armed with intermixed bristles and straight, 

 slender prickles; tack-shaped glands on leafstalks, stipule 

 margins, leaf "midribs" (rachises), and flower stalks; flowers 

 usually solitary, small, early blooming; fruits (hips) soon 

 losing their crown of calyx iobes (as indicated by common 

 name of "baldhip" rose), ellipsoid or globe-shaped, to ){ inch 

 across; "seeds" (achenes) few (1-7), large, hairless; small, 

 shade-tolerant shrubs; woods, e. Oreg., e. Wash.; type 

 locality, shady woods, Oreg. 



baldhip rose (Rosa gymnocarpa). 

 14. Leaflets 5-7, dull green on upper surface; margins singly 

 saw-toothed; teeth not gland-tipped; stems often brown or 

 red where exposed to sun, usually armed with straight, slen- 

 der, paired prickles; tack-shaped glands lacking; stipule 

 margins with gland-tipped teeth; fruits with persistent crown 

 of calyx lobes; "seeds" many (more than 7), small, hairy; 

 not shade tolerant; in moist sites along streams, on hillsides, 

 in open thickets or openings in woods, e. Oreg., e. Wash. 



interior rose and Spalding rose. 

 15. Leaflets narrowly oval or reverse-egg-shaped, wedge- 

 shaped at base, firm; flowers small, rose-colored, later 

 blooming, clustered, each cluster with a basal leaf- or 

 stipule-like bract; calyx lobes smooth or finely hairy on 

 back; fruits *4 to % inch across, clustered; leafy shoots 

 sometimes arching a little and overtopping flowering or 

 fruiting branches; bark with a whitish "bloom"; shrubs

interior rose (Rosa ultramontana) - 19 

 15. Leaflets broadly oval, rounded at base, thin; flowers 

 large, pink, earlier blooming, usually solitary on slender, 

 hairless, somewhat prickly flowering branches; fruits globe- 

 shaped, %-l inch across; branches usually not arching; 

 bark without any whitish "bloom"; bushy shrubs about 

 3 feet high Spalding rose (Rosa spaldingii) . 20 



ly Interior rose is sometime* confused with the peafruit rose (Rosa pisocarpa) 

 from west of the Cascades where it grows in low, moist sites (often near the ocean) 

 in Oregon and Washington. The type locality of peafruit rose is Multnomah Co., 

 Oreg. 



!n Spalding rose is sometimes confused with Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana) from 

 west of the Cascades where it grows in moist sites, especially near the seashore 

 or salt marshes in Oregon and Washington. The type locality of Nootka rose is 

 Nootka Sound in British Columbia.
