740 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 
Spec. Char., &c. Stem weak, roundish, bearing slender, very acute, and rather recurved, prickles ; 
and, as well as the peduncles and petioles, villose, and hispid with glanded hairs, Leaflets 3, 
rarely 5, ovate, doubly serrated, villose, thinnish. Flowers in loose panicles, Sepals lanceolate, 
acuminate. A native of moist woods of Hungary. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 562.) According to our 
Hortus Britannicus, this was introduced into Britain in 1816; but, according to Dr. Lindley 
(Synops. Brit. Flora, ed. 2.), it is a native of Britain, and is “a strong glandular state of 2. ce'sius, 
approaching 2. Ko‘hler?,” which he represents as one of that group of forms which he has asso- 
ciated with &. corylifdlius as the type.

Spec. Char., §c. This, as compared with &. hirtus Waldst. & Kit., has its stem, petiole, and 
duncle very finely villous, and only very slightly hispid with glanded hairs. Leaves rather gla- 
rous. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 564.) This, according to our Hort. Brit., is a native of Germany, and was 
introduced into Britain in 1823; it has pink flowers.

Identification. Weihe and Nees, on the authority of Lindley’s Synops. of the Brit. Flora, ed. 2. p. 94. ; 
Hort. Brit., No. 28336.; Don’s Mill, 2. p. 533. 
Spec. Char., &c. Branches with scarcely any bristles. Stem leaves with 5 leaflets. Flowers in a 
leafy straggling panicle. Spontaneous in Britain in hedges and dry ditches. In affinity it is nearly 
half-way between A. cz'sius, and R. corylifdlius, (Lindley, in Synops. of Brit. Flora, ed. 2. p. 94.)

Spec. Char., §c. Stem procumbent, bearing recurved prickles. Leaflets 3—5, cuneate-obovate, ser- 
rated, whitely tomentose beneath. Flowers 3 upon a peduncle. Calyx without prickles, densely 
tomentose. Bracteas small, simple. Petioles and peduncles tomentose, prickled. (Dec. Prod., ii. 
p. 559.) A native of Nepal, with procumbent stems, introduced in 1818, and flowering in June and 
July. It is said to be very nearly allied to 2. parvifdlius ; and, from the appearance of a plant in 
the Chelsea Botanic Garden, we should consider it only a variety of R. cz'sius.

Spec. Char., &c. Stem round, procumbent, bearing scattered, short, hooked, prickles, Branches 
round, glabrous. Leaflets 3, glabrous, unequally serrated ; the middle one ovate, wedge-shaped at 
its base; the side ones rhomb-shaped. Nerves yellowish. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 559.) A native of North 
America, with procumbent stems, common in Virginia and Carolina, in fields and sandy woods ; 
apparently only a variety of A. cz‘sius. It was introduced in 1789, and flowers in June and July.

Varieties.

ish heart-shaped, whitishly tomentose upon both surfaces.

Description, §c. The stems are long and 
trailing, sometimes arching, glaucous and _ pur- 
plish in the sun, and green in the shade: they 
are brittle and full of pith. The flowers are 
large and white, and appear earlier than those 
of most of the British species. The berry is 
large, agreeably acid, of larger and fewer grains 
than in 2, fruticosus, and of a browner black: they
