CHAP. XLII. ROSA CE, RO'SA. 755 
§ iv. Pimpinellifolie Lindl. 
Sect. Char.,§c. Plants bearing crowded, nearly equal, prickles, or unarmed. 
Bractless, rarely bracteate. Leaflets ovate or oblong. Sepals connivent, 
permanent. Disk almost wanting. This section is essentially different 
from the last in habit, but in artificial characters they approach very nearly. 
It, however, may be distinguished by the greater number of leaflets ; 
which vary from 7 to 13, and even to 15, instead of from 5 to 7. The 
flowers are also universally without bracteas; except in the R. alpina, R. 
Sabini, R. Donidna, and, perhaps, R. marginata. These having connivent 
permanent sepals, cannot be confounded with the preceding division ; nor, on 
account of their disk, with the following. There is no instance of stipular 
prickles in the present tribe. The sepals are entire, or nearly so, unless 
when mentioned otherwise. (Don’s Miil., ii. p. 567.)
