"84, R. hispida Poir. enc. bot. n. ¥5. 
R. germinibus globosis pedunculisque hispido-aculeatis;

leis sparsis, floribus solitariis. Poir. Ll. c. 
To this M. Poiret cites R. pomo spinoso, folio hir- 
suto J. Bauh. hist. 2. 35. with a mark of doubt. This 
figure seems to be R. villosa, and so I should have 
guessed R. hispida to be also; but it is described with 
leaves smooth above, which has never been noticed in 
villosa: possibly it may be some variety of tomentosa; 
but in that case Bauhin’s synonym is wrong quoted.

Hab. in Carolina (Poir.) 
This species is related to multiflora and yet more to 
albain the form of its leaves. Its stems and branches 
are smooth, usually unarmed, as are the petioles; the 
leaves are composed of 5 and sometimes 3 leaflets, 
which are largish, oval, obtuse, nearly equally toothed, 
green above, paler and somewhat glaucous beneath; 
stipules entire with two sharp teeth. The flowers are 
usually terminal, in bunches, almost umbellate; pedun- 
cles straight, one-flowered, very bristly and glandular, 
as is the oval tube of the calyz, and its limb at the base; 
its divisions are oval, entire, acute, with a very long 
point; the flower somewhat large, of a pale red. 
This plant grows in Carolina and is cultivated in 
most gardens of Europe. Poiret. 
If this had not been compared with multiflora and 
alba I should have taken it for some partially unarmed 
variety of R. carolina, which varies prodigiously in size 
and form of leaves, prickles and pubescence.
