The vestiture of the stem and panicle is so different from that of 
ordinary R. Radula, that it cannot well be retained in its present 
position, irrespective of the peculiar shape of the leaflets, which 
have also shorter felt beneath intermixed with scarcely any longer 
hairs. Professor Babington, who has seen only an imperfect spe- 
cimen, thinks that it seems to belong to the Kéhlerianz close to 
R. diversifolius ; adding that R. Radula approaches the Kéhleriane, 
and that probably this form is the connecting link.

Barren stem arching-prostrate or prostrate, rooting at the end, 
hairy ; prickles numerous, usually not confined to the angles of the 
stem, very unequal, passing gradually into aciculi and gland-tipped 
setze, which are very numerous.

Barren stem arching-prostrate, roundish or bluntly angular, 
pilose ; prickles very unequal, strong, spreading or slightly deflexed, 
from an elongate compressed base; aciculi and gland-tipped setze 
- numerous and very unequal. Leaves of the barren stem quinate ; 
leaflets rather thin, smooth above, paler and hairy only on the veins 
or more rarely felted beneath, finely acutely and irregularly dentate- 
serrate ; terminal leaflet oval, sub-cordate or rounded at the base, 
acuminate; basal leaflets staiked, not imbricated. Flowers in a 
long narrow leafy often interrupted panicle with very short ascend- 
ing-spreading corymbose branches; rachis and pedicels sparingly 
stiffly-hairy with numerous gland-tipped setz, aciculi, and very un- 
equal subulate slightly defiexed prickles. Sepals ovate-acuminate, 
reflexed in fruit. 
a, R. Kéhleri. Weihe. 
Barren stem with very numerous prickles, aciculi, and gland- 
tipped setze. Leaflets rough, hairy only on the veins beneath; 
panicle lax, truncate, with the terminal peduncles shorter than the 
lateral ones.
