Like the hautboy strawberry, this plant has unisexual flowers, and is apparently 

 dioecious ; but the stems which bear the male and female flowers respectively, 

 seem to be united underground, making it in reality monoecious.

 common everywhere. Fl. July, August. 



Curtis, ii. 325 ; E. B. xiv. 960.

 hawthorn-like scent of its plentiful blossoms. Many call it the " Queen of the 

 Meadows."
