Shrub. July. 



Of the same stature as the last, but the prickles on the stem are 

 much more abundant, and very unequal, straight, though often 

 " deflexed, oblong at the base. A few bristles are interspersed, 

 diftering from the prickles in their smaller size and glandular 

 tips only. Leaflets usually 7, sometimes 0, smooth, opaque, 

 almost orbicular, with broad simple serratures, which are 

 largest towards the abrupt extremity, and very rarely here and 

 there notched, or double, especially in luxuriant plants, whose 

 leaflets are larger and more elliptical. Common footstalks more 

 or less beset vvith small glandular bristles ; sometimes prickly. 

 Stipulas linear-wedge-shaped, fringed with glands ; their points 

 dilated, widely spreading, leafy, acute, often cut or lobed ; the 

 upper ones never, as far as I have seen, assuming the appear- 

 ance of bracfeas. Flower-stalks solitary, varying in length, 

 swelling upwards, angular when dried, quite smooth and 

 naked, "according to my observation ; but some of Mr. Borrer's 

 Sussex specimens have bristly flower-stalks, like Mr. Woods's 

 spinosissima s. Tube of the calyx very smooth, globose, often 

 abrupt or flat at the top ; segments of the limb almost invari- 

 ably simple, spreading j smooth at the back ; acute, or slightly 

 leafy, at the point ; converging more or less as the fruit ripens. 

 • Petah cream-coloured, yellow at the base, delicately fragrant ; 

 in /3 striped, or copion'^>ly blotched, with red. Fruit generally a
