About four or five feet high, chiefly leafy at the ex- 
tremities. Branches yellowish green, or brownish, 
beset with unequal, scattered, pale prickles and sete ; 
of the former the largest are falcate and the others 
weak and nearly straight. Leaves of a dull glaucous 
green; stipule narrow, flat, dilated, spreading, and 
coarsely serrated at the extremities, quite free from 
pubescence, as is every part of the leaf; petioles some- 
what glandular, with a few pale, straight prickles ; 
leaflets 7, obovate, flat, simply toothed, very czesious 
beneath. Flowers very large, of an exquisitely deli- 
cate, transparent yellow colour, always double ; 
bractee none; peduncle and calyx either naked or 
glandular ; twbe hemispherical. 
This, by far the most splendid of the genus, has 
never been heard of in a single state, nor even near it ;
