Hab. in Parnasso, Sibthorp; Siciliz montibus, (Cu- 
pani); Crete, Tournefort, (v. s. sp. herb. Smith & 
Banks.) ; 
(Stem is low and bushy, with numerous stout 
branches, Smith) ; the old ones as thick as a goose quill, 
- without down, defended by strong, close, unequal, fal- 
cate prickles; the young ones downy, with smaller and 
more slender prickles, which are often very densely ag- 
gregated under the stipule. Leaves hoary; stipule 
much dilated upwards, concave, without glands, except 
at their edge, which is nearly entire; petioles with a 
few little prickles and glands; leaflets 3-7, flat, round- 
ish, small, with coarse nearly simple serratures, and a 
few glands on the under side, (glandular and viscid on 
both ,sides. Flowers small, pale blush, solitary, on 
short, bristly viscid stalks, Smith). Fruiét without 
bractesze, scarlet, covered all over, as is its stalk, with 
little stiff prickles, crowned by the conniyent, nearly 
simple, hoary sepals. 
For the synonym of Cupani I trust to Sir James 
Smith. No copy of his Panphyton containing t. 61 
has fallen in my way. This is very nearly allied to R. 
rubiginosa, but differs in having hoary leaves and pu- 
bescent branchlets; a very curious and important cha- 
racter. It appears from Redouté’s figure, which is less 
happy than usual, to be cultivated in France; our own 
gardens it has not yet reached.
