746 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 
four in a corymb, white. Sepals ovate, longly acumi- a. 464 
nate, glabrous, as long as the petals, Allied to R. 
odoratus, but the peduncle and calyx are glabrous, 
(Dec. Prod., ii. p. 566.) A native of the north-west 
coast of North America, from New California to 
Nootka Sound, and at various places between north 
latitude 43° and 52°, in mountains and woods. It 
was discovered by the unfortunate Douglas, and intro- 
duced into Britain in 1826. It grows, in good soil, to 
the height of 5ft. or 6ft., and has the general aspect 
and appearance of R. odoratus, except being of a 
paler green. It flowers from May to October, and 
the flowers are white. These are succeeded by large 
red berries, which are found to make excellent tarts; and the plant will 
probably soon be ranked as a fruit shrub. There are fine plants of this 
species in the Horticultural Society’s Garden, and at High Clere; and they 
may be purchased in the London nurseries at from Is. 6d. to 2s. each. 

App. i. Species and Varieties of Rubus best deserving of Cul- 
tivation in British Gardens, as ornamental Shrubs. 
A. Erect Raspberry-like Sorts. 
R. occidentilis, the western, or black, Raspberry, No. 7.; and fig. 451. in p. 736. 
R. nutkanus, the Nootka Sound Raspberry, No. 32.; and fig. 464. in p. 746. 
R. odoratus, the sweet-scented, or Virginian, Raspberry, No. 31.; and fig. 463. in p. 745. 
R. spectibilis, the showy-flowered Raspberry, No. 19.3; and fig. 458. in p. 741. 
R. ida‘us, the Mount Ida, or common, Raspberry, No. 9.; and fig. 452. in p. 737. The varieties of this 
species which are recommended are those enumerated in p. 738., as being most suitable for plant- 
ing in an arboretum. 
B. Shrubby Brambles. 
R. suber éctus, the sub-erect Bramble, No. 1. p. 735. 
R. micranthus, the smail-flowered, or Nepal, Bramble, No. 4.; and figs. 449—450.—450. a, in p. 736. 
R. fruticdsus, the shrubby Bramble, or common Blackberry, No. 20.; and fig. 459. in p. 742. The 
varieties recommended are, the double-flowered, the double pink-flowered (if it can be got), the 
variegated-leaved, and A. f. tatricus, on account of its large and excellent fruit. 
R. corylifolius, the Haxel-leaved Bramble, No.15.; and fig. 457. in p. 741. 
C. Prostrate Brambles. 
R. ce*sius, the grey Bramble, or Dewberry, No, 11.; and fig. 454. in p. 739. The variety recom- 
mended, in addition to the species, is that with variegated leaves. 
R. laciniatus, the cut-leaved Bramble, No. 10. ; and fig. 453. in p. 739. 
Remark. The plants in the last two groups are propagated by division of the roots, or by en- 
couraging the points of the shoots to root, like the runners of a strawberry; and the plants in the 
first group by division of the root, or by suckers. All the kinds may be propagated by layers or 
cuttings of the current year’s wood, with the leaves on in a growing state; and the cuttings in sand 
under a glass, but not readily.
