and no scent. Fruit purplish. Wall. l. ec. 
Differs from R. canina in having a dwarf stem in 
every state; the prickles being straight, subulate and 
copious ; the petioles and stipule glandular; leaflets 
somewhat coriaceous, ovate-oblong with a cordate base, 
thrice serrate and glandular, of a glaucous red; 
flowers without scent; peduncles and sepals constantly 
bristly with glands ; fruit ovato-globose, turgid and co- 
loured. Wallroth. 
From this description R. marginata should be a 
very excellent species. But I nevertheless have some 
fear that it may prove to be too nearly allied to R. ru- 
biginosa, if they even be distinct. No one appears to 
have seen it except Wallroth, who undoubtedly may be 
depended upon for accuracy in describing the leaflets 
as cordate; the only instance of that form in the 
genus.
