R. nitidus, Bell Salt. Bab. olim, non W. & N. 
Barren stem arching or sub-erect, rooting at the apex, angular, 
furrowed, hairy at the base, sub-glabrous towards the apex; prickles 
confined to the angles of the stem, strong, declining or hooked, 
from a large much-compressed base. Leaves of the barren stem 
quinate; leaflets sub-coriaceous, shining above, greyish-green, 
opaque and pubescent, and often whitish-felted beneath, finely and 
unequally dentate-serrate ; terminal leaflet rhomboidal-oval or 
rhomboidal-elliptical acuminate, wedge-shaped at the base; basal 
leaflets stalked, not overlapping the intermediate ones. Flowers 
in an elongate compact compound panicle, with rather short 
spreading corymbose branches; rachis and peduncles densely 
pubescent, very prickly. 
In hedges and thickets. Not uncommon, occurring from Hants 
to Renfrew.—(Bab. in Cyb. Brit.) 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Shrub. Summer. 
This plant has somewhat the habit of R. plicatus, but besides 
having the barren stem more arching, the panicle has more 
numerous, more spreading and shorter lateral branches, and the 
leaflets are paler, often felted beneath. The flowers are smaller 
than those of R. plicatus, the fruit about the same size, but smaller 
than that of R. affinis.

Barren stem arching, angular, furrowed, smooth; prickles 
confined to the angles of the stem, strong, declining or spreading, 
from a large compressed base. Leaves of the barren stem quinate ; 
leaflets coriaceous, flat, shining above, opaque, greyish-green and 
pubescent or often whitish-felted beneath, very finely acutely and 
irregularly dentate-serrate; terminal leaflet roundish or oval — 
rhomboidal, cordate or rounded at the base, shortly cuspidate ; 
basal leaflets stalked, not overlapping the intermediate ones. 
Flowers in an elongate compound panicle compact at the apex, 
with rather short spreading-ascending corymbose upper branches,
