clusters, white or pinkish, 1 —2 in. broad : carpels go , tomentose ; fr. 

 hemispherical, scarlet when ripe, " sweet and pleasantly flavored." Var. 

 velatiiius, Greene, in Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, xvii. 14 (1890). R. rduLinus, 

 H. & A. Bot. Beech. 140 (1840). Leaves smaller, of much firmer texture, 

 densely velvety-pubescent, evenly serrate : fr. dry, insipid. — The type is 

 found only in the mountains of the interior or easterly parts of the State. 

 The variety, very possibly a good species, belongs to the seaboard, where 

 it is common along the banks of streams. Fl. Mar., fr. June. 

 •i— -H- Stents prickly ; leaves S-foliolate. 



2. R. spectabilis, Pursh, Fl. i. 348. t. 16 (1814) ; Lindl. Bot. Eeg. t. 

 1424. Stoutish, -5 — 10 ft. high, sparingly armed with stout straight 

 prickles : leaves occasionally simple ; leaflets ovate, acute or acuminate, 

 doubly serrate, often more or less lobed, the veins beneath and the stalks 

 and stalklets sparingly villous : fl. 1 — 3, large, red : fr. large, ovoid, red 

 or yellow, glabrous. Var. Menziesii. Wats. R. MenziesU, Hook. Fl. i. 141 

 (1833). Foliage somewhat tomentose and silky. — Mendocino Co., Bolander, 

 northward, in moist woods. The variety is of the San Francisco district, 

 growing on wooded banks of streams, mostly near the sea. Apr. — June. 



3. R. leucodermis, Dougl. in Hook. Fl. i. 178 (1833) : R. occidenialis 

 var. Hook. 1. c. : R. glaucifullus, Kell. Proc. Calif. Acad. i. 67 ? (1855). 

 Stems 3—5 ft. long, surculose, recurved or trailing, the epidermis and 

 lower face of leaves very glaucous : prickles abundant, short, straight or 

 recurved : leaves 3 — 5-foliolate ; leaflets ovate or lanceolate, acuminate, 

 doubly serrate ; stipules setaceous : fl. few ; sepals long-acuminate, 

 exceeding the white petals : fr. hemispherical, glaucous, black and sweet, 

 or red and acidulous. -The Black Raspberry of Oregon and Washington 

 has a truly black fruit ; and it is the type of R. leucoderrnis. If the com- 

 mon accounts of the fruit in the Californian shrub be true, ours should 

 be a distinct species ; and Dr. Kellogg's name for it would be restored.

4. R. pedatus, Smith, Ic. Ear. t. 63 (1793) ; Hook. Fl. i. 181. t. 63. 

 Stem slender, pubescent : leaves glabrous or sparsely villous ; leaflets 3, 

 but the lateral commonly parted to the base, 1 in. long, incisely toothed ; 

 stipules ovate-oblong : fl. 1, on a long slender peduncle, white, % — % in. 

 broad : fr. of 2 or more large elongated (oblong-pyriform) red acidulous 

 drupelets. One of the prettiest ornaments of mountain woods from N. 

 California near the coast, to British Columbia and Alaska. The large 

 drupelets, usually 2 only, lie on the ground ; being too heav>' for their 

 almost filiform peduncle. The plant is attributed to " woods near the 

 coast above San Francisco," Neirtierry. It should be sought among the 

 redwoods in Marin Co. and Mendocino. 



* * Fruit oblong or cylindrical, the drupelets persistent upon their 

 elongated receptacle (Blackberry).
