This division borders equally close upon those of Canina and 
Rubiginose. From both it is distinguished by its rootshoots 
being erect and stout, not bending gracefully except in the case of 
the true tomentosa. The most absolute marks of difference, how- 
ever, between this and Canine exist in the prickles of the former 
Rubiginose cannot be confounded with Villosw, on account 
of their unequal hooked prickles and glandular leaves. ioe 
ness of fruit and persistence of sepals is common to bo 
R. villosa has sometimes setz.
