sete rather numerous, unequal. Leaves mostly ternate, more 
rarely quinate-pedate; leaflets sub-coriaceous, flat, opaque, and 
sparingly pilose above, paler and more hairy or slightly felted 
beneath, finely and irregularly dentate-serrate ; terminal leaflet 
oval-obovate or subrhomboidal-obovate, truncate or sub-cordate at 
the base, acuminate-cuspidate. Flowers in a long narrow sub- 
racemose panicle, with the branches short spreading-ascending, 
simple or sub-corymbose; rachis flexuous and with the pedicels 
finely felted, with the felt intermixed with longer hairs, and with 
short unequal gland-tipped setze, a few aciculi and slender declining 
prickles. Sepals ovate-lanceolate, reflexed in fruit. 
In shady woods. Rare. Reported from Cornwall, Herts, 
Worcester, Warwick, Monmouth, and Essex.

Barren stem arching-prostrate, round, stiffly-hairy; prickles 
numerous, very unequal, slender, spreading or slightly deflexed, 
from a rather long much compressed base; aciculi and gland-tipped 
setze numerous and unequal. Leaves ternate or quinate-pedate ; 
leaflets thin, green on both sides, pilose above, paler and 
densely pubescent or felted beneath, where they are also stiffly- 
hairy on the veins, very sharply and irregularly denticulate-serrate ; 
terminal leaflet oval, rounded or sub-cordate at the base, abruptly 
acuminate. Flowers in a leafy panicle, often sub-racemose, with 
the branches spreading-ascending, the lower ones mostly corym- 
bose; rachis and pedicels felted and densely stiffly-hairy, with 
very numerous unequal gland-tipped setze, aciculi, and very slender 
declining prickles. Sepals lanceolate-ovate, acuminate, with gland-
