Scandent, armed. Leaves ternate, leaflets lanceo-

rambler, and is known to the Chinese labourers in the 
Garden under the name of Tshate-boy-fa. 
No figure of this species has been sent home by 
Roxburgh. It may be R. microcarpa; at least | know 
no other Chinese species to which the above account 
can be applied.

Stem shrubby, 6 feet high, somewhat climbing, 
very prickly. Flower blush-coloured, scentless. Tube

prickly. Perhaps R. sinica. Loureiro.

Loureiro that his plant is not what it calls itself; nor 
is there any Chinese species to which it is referable.
