both sides, uneven, and with a few scattered hairs above, and 
more numerous ones or greyish-green felt beneath, doubly ser- 
rate; terminal leaflet rhomboidal-oval or obovate-oval, rounded 
at the base, acute or slightly acuminate; basal leaflets of the 
quinate leaves not overlapping the intermediate pair, nor the 
lateral pair the terminal one. Flowers in a small lax leafy 
panicle, with the upper branches short corymbose, the lower ones 
longer; rachis and pedicels felted with very short hairs, with a 
very few short setee and slender spreading or declining prickles. 
Sepals ovate-acuminate, with a few short gland-tipped sete, loosely 
applied to the fruit, which is black and composed of few drupes. 
In hedges. Apparently rare, being only reported from Hants, 
Middlesex, Cambridge, and York.

Barren stem arching-prostrate, with rounded angles, sparingly 
hairy ; prickles very numerous, unequal, short, slender, spreading, 
from a short slightly-compressed base; aciculi and sete rather 
~ numerous, unequal. Leaves of the barren stem quinate, or ternate 
with the lateral leaflets 2-partite; leaflets sub-coriaceous, green on 
both sides, uneven, with a few short scattered hairs above, and 
more numerous ones beneath, irregularly dentate-serrate; ter- 
minal leaflet roundish or roundish-ovate, sub-cordate, cuspidate 
or acuminate-cuspidate; basal leaflets of the quinate leaves not 
overlapping the intermediate ones. Flowers in an elongate 
narrow leafy panicle, the upper branches very short, corymbose, 
the lower longer and sub-racemose. Rachis felted with short hairs, 
with very numeous unequal gland-tipped sete, aciculi, and very 
numerous slender slightly-declining prickles. Sepals ovate- 
acuminate, with aciculi and gland-tipped sete, loosely adpressed to 
the fruit, which is black and composed of few drupes. 
In hedges. Probably not uncommon.
