very distinct ae which flowered at Kew in July, 1910, and 
fruited a few weeks later. It is allied to R. chiliadenus, Focke, and 
closely resembles it in the development of the glands. That species, 
however, has slender branches, much more elongated serrate leaflets, 
which are often quinately pinnate, and a loose paniculate inflorescence. 
The glandular development much resembles that of the Glandulosi 
of the R. hirtus group, as pointed out by Focke, and so strongly 
developed are the glands in &. adenophorus that in the living state 
the sepals recall a pincushion stuck full of black-headed pins. This 
glandular development extends to the stems and petioles. The
