176 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
acutely serrate; terminal leaflet obovate-oval or oval, rounded or 
sub-cordate towards the base, shortly acuminate at the apex. 
Flowers in a narrow panicle, with short erect-spreading corymbose 
branches throughout; rachis and pedicels densely pilose, with 
straight declining unequal prickles, and a few setze about as long 
as the hairs. Calyx felted and pilose, loosely reflexed in fruit. 
In open places in hilly districts. Apparently rare. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Shrub. Summer. 
A doubtful plant, about which Professor Babington and the 
Rev. A. Bloxam do not agree; I have described specimens named 
by the former. 
Hornbeam-leaved Bramble. 
Sun-Specrrs XVIL.—Rubus villicaulis. Weihe & Nees. 
Bab. Man. Brit. Bot. ed. v. p. 101. 
R. villicaulis & pampinosus, Lad. olim. 
Barren stem arching, angular, sparingly pilose with spreading 
hairs; prickles numerous, strong, short, nearly spreading, from a 
slightly dilated much compressed base. Leaves of the barren stem 
quinate; leaflets thin, sub-glabrous above, pale green, softly 
pubescent, and densely setose-hairy on the veins beneath, doubly 
serrate; terminal leaflet obovate or roundish-obovate, rounded or 
sub-cordate at the base, abruptly acuminated. Flowers in a long 
lax panicle with spreading ascending corymbose branches; rachis 
and peduncles felted and stiffly-hairy, with numerous slender de- 
clining prickles. Sepals felted, stiffly-hairy, loosely reflexed in 
front. 
In woods and hedges. Apparently widely distributed through- 
out England, and also given as Scotch and Irish by Professor 
Babington. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Shrub. Summer. 
IT am but imperfectly acquainted with this species, knowing it 
only from dried specimens, having probably confounded it when in 
the fields with some of the forms of R. macrophyllus. Professor 
Babington considers R. vulgaris (Lindley) a form of this with more 
aciculi and strong deciduous-headed setz on the stem. 
Pilose-stemmed Bramble.
