, Frutex altitiidine 2 — 4-pedalis ; surculis longis8iniis, decumbentibus, flagellifortnibusj juni- 

 oribus glaucescentibiis, senioribus viiidibus. Rami vagi, debiles, glauco-virides e luce 

 purpureo-fusci, aculeati ; aculei surculorum sparsi, basi latissimi, inucrone plerumque 

 adunco instnicti, ramorum gracilioies. Pelioli nunc hirti nunc glandulosi, rarius 

 utrumque aculeati. S<;/)ii/£B lineares, apicem versus nunc serratae nunc glanduloso- 

 nunc piloso-ciliatee, glabrae, eae floribus cymosis propiores foliis gradatim deficientibus, 

 demuin in bracteas lanceolatas, vix stipulis latiores, immutatae. Foliola 5, par in- 

 ferius ceteris minus, elliptica vel subrotundo-elliptica, plana, crenato-serrata, interdum 

 apicem versus iiiciso-serrata, nervo interdum subtus pilosa, ssepiiis utrinque glaber- 

 rima. Pedunculi 1 — 8, interdum etiam usque ad 15, elongati, glandulis subsessili- 

 bus induti. Receptaculum plerumque ovatum, rarius in loeis sterilibus subglobosum, 

 fiiscum, glabrum. Calych foliola ovata vel subrotundo-ovata, nunc birta nunc 

 glandulosa, pir^nulis parvis lanceolatis integerrimis hie illic instructa. Flores albi, 

 jExpansi. Slyli in columellam glabram persistentem porrecti ; stigmata in globulum 

 congesta. Fntclus forma multum variat, ab elliptico-oblongo etiam ad accurate 

 globosum, posterior tamen vix nisi in pedunculis solitariis invenitur : maturi color san- 

 guineus. 



Hedges and bushy places in the southern and midland counties ;
