the small sub-section Xanthocarpi, of which Lt. xanthocarpus, 
Bur. & Franch., is the type. There is an imperfectly described: 
Cylactis, also from the island of Nippon, viz., ubus minusculus, 
Lév. & Van., which was said to differ from R. pedatus, Smith, 
in the non-creeping stem, pinnate leaves with lanceolate ‘sessile 
incise-denticulate leaflets, ‘somewhat hay ero those of a Sorbus, 
and hairy sepals. It was based on a plant collected by Faurie 
(n. 3187), but unfortunately no pia is available for com- 
parison. The characters are so much in agreement with R. 
i as to suggest that 1t may be a form of the same 
go 
The establishment of the sy vera A o this plant involved the 
identity of Rubus chinensis, Ser., which Maximowicz doubtfully 
included under his var. coronarius Pi stmplicit. As no specimen 
was available for comparison, application was made to Dr. C. de 
Candolle, who has kindly forwarded a life-sized photograph of 
the original specimen in the Candollean Herbarium, ‘igisthie 
fragments of the foliage. he specimen is young, with par- 
re buds, and is clearly an daeobatus, which matches 
bes unbergianus, Sieb. & Zucce. ’ in fact, the details of 
a venation and texture are quite in agreement. It agrees 
neither with FR. ee nor with FR, illecebrosus, 
R. rosaefolius, Smith (Bot. Mag. t. 6970), is a tropical plant 
which is not hardy in England, and apart from the different habit 
and sectional characters above pointed out, it is also readily 
distinguished by floral characters.
