36 ROSA MACROPHYLLA. 
One of the. recent acquisitions sent from Gossam 
Than to Sir Joseph Banks by Dr. Wallich. 
It differs from R. alpina in the shape of its stipules 
and great bractez, besides having a great deal of down 
on its leaves, which are the longest I have ever seen. 
It can be confounded with nothing else, and may be 
considered the connecting link between this division 
and the next. 
Div. V. Pimpinellifolie. Setigercee armis confertis 
subconformibus, v. inermes; ebracteatz (rarissimé 
bracteatz). Foliola ovata, v. oblonga. Sepala con- 
niventia, persistentia. Discus subnullus. 
This division is essentially different from the last in habit, 
although in artificial characters it must be confessed they nearly 
approach each other; and perhaps too nearly. It may however 
be distinguished by the greater number of leaflets, which vary 
from 7 to 13 and even 15, instead of from 5 to 7, and are usually’ 
ovate, rarely oblong, and never lanceolate; the flowers are uni- 
y without bractez except in R. alpina, Sabini and perhaps 
marginata. ‘These having connivent, permanent sepals, cannot 
be confounded with the prec nor, on account of their thin 
disk, with the following division. R. Woodsii of the last group 
differs from its congeners in the shape of its leaves, as does, but 
in a less degree, R. cinnamomea 8; but both of them have stipu- 
lary prickles, of which there is no instance in the present tribe. 
Obs. In all, the pericarps have an uneven surface.
