R. cinnamomea of Roth's FL Germ. i. p. 217, and ii. 554, appears 

 to be R. lutea (2 bicolor. The above description was taken from 

 a garden specimen (with single flowers), for which I am indebted 

 to my friend Mr. Borrer. On comparison we found it to agree 

 exactly with the figure and description of English Botany. Will- 

 denow quotes R. fiuvialis Fl. Dan. t. 868, as a variety of this 

 plant; but this appears to me very doubtful. R. colliniola Ehr., 

 R. majalis Hermann., and R. fcecundissima of someGerman writers, 

 are usually, and I believe rightly, considered as s3'nonyms of this 

 species ; but I have not had sufficient opportunity of investiga- 

 tion to decide upon the subject : and Roth describes R. facutv- 

 dissima with hooked prickles; which certainly causes consider- 

 able doubt. Perhaps, too, we must place here R. fraxinifolia of 

 Gmelin, Fl. Bad. Alsat. ii. 413. 



The long leaflets with simple serratures would alone be sufli-
