numerous, stout, hooked or straight, from a broad flat base. Leaves pinnate, leaflets 

 usually g, petiole and rhachis pubescent, glaucous and together with the midveins with 

 hooked prickles ; lateral leaflets sessile, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, coarsely doubly serrate ; 

 terminal leaflets wider, larger, lobately doubly serrate, dull grass-green above, white tomen- 

 tose at the back. Flowers small, in a tenninal tomentose panicle, pedicels short, prickly; 

 petals shorter than the calyx-lobes, pink or purple. Fruit small, black.

Canes terete, erect or arching, pale yellowish green to deep brown when older, smooth, 

 covered with a dense white bloom, prickles variously scattered or remote, rather large, 

 deltoid, straight or curved. Leaves usually with 7 leaflets, lateral ones sessile, ovate or 

 rhomboid-ovate, pointed, coarsely simple or doubly toothed, terminal one larger and 

 broader, cordate, and often 3-lobed or lobately incised in the upper half, glabrescent or 

 glabrous on both sides; petiole and rhachis prickly. Flowering shoots glabrous, with 5- to 

 3-foliolate leaves. Inflorescence a many-flowered, short, and broad cyme; flowers small; 

 calyx-lobes deltoid, lanceolate; petals shorter, ejliptic, rose colored. Fruit small, red to 

 black, edible, but of poor flavor. 



Korea, China; a handsome, hardy shrub, but scarcely of importance

Golden Evergreen Raspberry. — Vigorous shrub with perennial climbing stems, 1-5 

 m long; canes terete or obscurely angled, like the petioles densely hispid from long reddish 

 hairs, mixed with flattened straight prickles. Leaves 3-foliolate; petioles 3-7 cm long, 

 like the petiolules and mid\-eins armed with recurved prickles; stipules small subulate; 

 leaflets sharply and finely double-serrate, elliptic or obovate, obtuse or emarginate, cor- 

 iaceous, dark green and almost or quite glabrous above, white or grayish tomentose beneath, 

 the lateral ones shortly stalked or almost sessile, the terminal one longer stalked and larger. 

 Flowers 15-25 mm across, clustered on axillar branchlets or terminal and paniculed, 

 tomentose ; calyx-lobes ovate, acute ; petals white, obovate, scarcely longer. Fruit vellow 

 to golden yellow, of the shape and size of a raspberry and of good quality. 



Himalayas; in elevations from 3000-6000 feet, naturalized in Jamaica; 

 grown in Florida and southern California, where the northern raspberries
