y, R. rubicolor. Blox. MS. 
Barren stem arching, very stout, prickles numerous, nearly 
destitute of gland-tipped setze and aciculi. Leaves quinate; ter- 
minal leaflet oblong obovate-cuspidate. Panicle lax, many- 
flowered ; rachis more densely setose, with numerous strong prickles 
and a few aciculi and gland-tipped sete. 
On heaths and in woods. Not uncommon in the West of Eng- 
land, from the Isle of Wight to Westmoreland. y near Man- 
setter, Warwickshire (Rev. A. Bloxam), from which place he has 
kindly furnished me with an example. 
England. Shrub. Summer. 
A well-marked plant. ( rather a weak state than a variety. 
7, which Mr. Bloxam considers distinct, a much larger, redder, and 
more hairy plant than a and /, with the panicle longer and more 
slender and interrupted, and the rachis more densely hairy, with 
more numerous spines and gland-tipped hairs; sepals narrower 
and more decidedly reflexed. 
Sprengel’s Bramble. 
Sub-Group IV.—RADUL@. 
Stem pubescent, with deciduous gland-tipped setze and aciculi, 
which are situated on small points; the latter remain and render 
the stem rough after the sete have disappeared; prickles nearly 
equal.
