6, infestus. Bab. 
Barren stem with very numerous prickles, aciculi, and gland- 
tipped setee. Leaflets soft, hairy only on the veins beneath ; panicle 
broad, compact, the terminal peduncles shorter than the lateral 
ones. 
y, R. pallidus. Weihe. 
Barren stem with rather few prickles, aciculi, and gland- 
tipped setze. Leaflets soft, greyish, felted beneath, as well as hairy 
on the veins; panicle narrow, rounded at the top, with the ter- 
minal peduncles frequently as long as or longer than the lateral 
ones. : 
In hedges and thickets. Common, and generally distributed. 
The form R. pallidus apparently the most abundant. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Shrub. Summer. 
A very prickly plant. Var. y has a different aspect, from the 
fewer prickles and leaflets felted beneath.

Bab. Man. Brit. Bot. ed. v. p. 106. 
Barren stem arching-prostrate, angular, hairy; prickles unequal, 
slightly deflexed, from a very large compressed base; aciculi and 
gland-tipped sete numerous, unequal. Leaflets irregularly or 
doubly dentate-serrate, even above, green and hairy beneath ; 
terminal leaflet roundish ovate, sub-cordate, acuminate or acumi- 
nate-cuspidate ; basal leaflets stalked, imbricated so as to overlap 
the intermediate ones. Flowers in a long leafy sub-pyramidal 
panicle, with short ascending-spreading corymbose branches, or 
with the lower ones longer and sub-racemose ; rachis and pedicels 
bristly-hairy, with numerous unequal gland-tipped setze, aciculi, 
and slightly declining prickles. Sepals ovate-acuminate, spreading 
or adpressed to the fruit. 
On heaths. Rare. 
England. Shrub. Summer. 
The only specimens I have seen are from Kidderminster, in 
Mr. Borrer’s herbarium at Kew.
