sepals), and with small, smooth, shining carpels The shoots are usually 
setigerous next the ground; but rarely so towards the apex, except in one 
or two instances. R. alpina and R,. acicularis, of the following division, 
sometimes have bracteas; but their sepals never fall off till the fruit is 
decayed. Sepals simple, entire, or nearly so, unless when mentioned other- 
wise. (Don’s Miil., ii. p.565.) Plants of most of the species are in culti- 
vation in British gardens.

Spec. Char., §c. Prickles recurved, or none. Leaflets 
5—9, lanceolate-elliptical, coriaceous, bluntly ser- 
rated, glossy. Stipules dilated, large, finely serrated, 
and extended as far as to the leaflets. Peduncles 
somewhat hispid. Flowers red, and opening late 
in the season. Sepals almost entire, appendicled, 
spreading. Fruit oblately globose, a little hispid 
or glabrous, scarlet. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 602.) 
Flowers red, overtopped by the leaves and young 
branches. Fruit bright red. A native of North 
America, from New York to Carolina; near Bos- 4 
ton, in bogs, and on the edges of marshes, and in 
Newfoundland. Growing from the height of 4 ft. 
to 6ft., and flowering from June to August. A 
handsome species, on account of its shining foliage, and one which is very 
hardy ; but the flowers have a very disagreeable smell.

Spec. Char., &c. Dwarf and reddish in aspect. Stem and 
branches almost covered with slender, rather equal 
prickles. Leaflets 5—9, rather rigid, lanceolate, glossy. 
Stipules large, finely serrated, extending as far as to the 
leaflets. Flowers red. Peduncle bristly. Sepals spread- 
ing. Fruit bristly, shining, and scarlet. (Dec. Prod., 2. 
p. 603.) A shrub, a native of Newfoundland, beset 
with straight red spines. Flowers deep red. Fruit 
depressed, spherical, bright scarlet. Introduced in 
1807; growing to the height of 2ft., and flowering 
from June to August. This is an interesting plant, 
from its dwarf stature, its abundant reddish prickles, its 
glossy leaves, its flowers, and its fruit. Seringe seems 
to think it a variety of #. lucida. The 2#. nftida, which 
fms No. 36. in Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836, is a variety of R. 
Tox.

bright red. Fruit deep red. Sepals compound. Native of North 
America, in the warmer states; growing from 3ft. to 4ft. high, and a
