and pedicels stiffly-hairy with very numerous gland-tipped sete, 
aciculi, and numerous slender subulate declining or spreading 
prickles. Sepals lanceolate-acuminate, loosely applied to the fruit. 
In woods and hedges. Apparently rare. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Shrub. Summer. 
A doubtful plant. Professor Babington thinks it is perhaps 
not distinct from Kh. Hystrix, differing chiefly in its abrupt pyra- 
midal panicle, and more unequal prickles, the smaller ones scarcely 
exceeding the aciculi in length. The Rev. A. Bloxam also con- 
siders it as very closely allied to R. Hystrix.

Barren stems arching-prostrate, roundish, hairy; prickles very 
numerous, slender, declining, from a slightly dilated base; aciculi 
and gland-tipped setze very numerous and unequal. Leaves of the 
barren stem quinate; leaflets green on both sides, paler below, 
sparingly hairy below, more densely so on the veins beneath, 
coarsely and unequally doubly serrate; terminal leaflet oval, 
rounded or sub-cordate at the base, acuminate. Flowers in a long 
narrow leafy panicle, with short spreading corymbose branches; 
rachis and pedicels with very numerous hairs, gland-tipped 
setae, aciculi and slender declining prickles. Sepals ovate-acu- 
minate, with aciculi and long rather-stiff hairs, loosely reflexed 
from the fruit. 
In hedges and borders of woods. Rare. At Eridge, near Tun- 
bridge Wells, and near Pinner, Middlesex. 
England. Shrub. Summer. 
Of this plant I have only seen the specimens from Tunbridge 
Wells, in the collection of the late Mr. Borrer, at Kew.
