fascicles, and then accompanied by ovato-lanceolate bracteas. Pe- 

 duncle cylindrical, naked as well as the calyx, the segments of which 

 are downy within, and at the edges only ; shorter than the pale pink 

 petals, with slightly leafy points, and a few pairs of shortish linear-lan- 

 ceolate, entire, gland-tipped pinnae. Styles included, hairy ; stigmas 

 somewhat prominent. Fruit nearly globular or urceolate, but short, 

 blood-red, crowned with the erect or spreading segments of the calyx. 

 The variety (3. differs from the common appearance of the plant, by the 

 leaflets being naked, which Mr, Moore thinks may have been partly 

 occasioned by the nature of the exposed rocky situation where he 

 found it. It perfectly agrees in every other respect.

 y. Bennedy Glen, near Dungiven ; Mr. D. Moore. Fl. June. I? . — 

 Five to eight feet high, upright; branches reddish-brown, spreading, 

 somewhat drooping, much divided. Prickles numerous on the stem, 

 rather thinly scattered on the ramuli, very unequal in size ; nearly 

 straight in a. and (3. ; the larger ones considerably curved in y. Leaflets 

 seven or nine, elliptical or ovate, acute, but rarely acuminate, sharply 

 and doubly serrated, edged with glands ; hairy in various degrees, and 

 thence more or less green or hoary above ; beneath paler and more 

 hairy, and sprinkled on the ribs and veins with glands ; petioles also 

 hairy and glandulose, with small straight prickles, and often setose ; 

 stipules rather broad, somewhat dilated upwards, pointed and divari- 

 cate. Flowers solitary or in threes, in «. frequently in larger bunches 

 than in £. which in Mr. Moore's specimens are mostly solitary. 

 Peduncle cylindrical, setose, as is mostly the calyx-tube ; segments 

 hairy, setose, and glandulose, variously but not copiously pinnate, with 

 a long unusually leafy point, nearly as long as the petals. Petals pink, 

 often beautifully mottled, or white. Styles included, hairy ; stigmas 

 varying in prominence. Fruit dark-red, globular or somewhat urceolate, 

 persistent ; calyx-segments erect, more or less spreading 1 or recurved.
