Report oF THE Boranist. 53 
AmorrPHA FRutTIcosA, ZL. 
Banks of the Hudson below Greenbush. Doubtless escaped 
from some garden. 
Rusts NEGLECTUS, Sp. 720V. 
Stems recurved, armed with numerous straight prickles ; berries 
dark red, having a whitish bloom ; calyx hispid. 
Stems ‘long, recurved, when young covered with a glaucous 
bloom, armed with numerous rather strong, straight prickles, those 
on the flowering branches and petioles sometimes recurved ; leaves 
trifoliate, the leaflets ovate- -acuminate, coarsely and doubly ‘serrate, 
green above, white tomentose beneath, with rather prominent 
anastomosing veinlets, lateral ones sessile, terminal one often 
unequally two or three lobed and subcordate; flowers on ascend- 
ing or erect branches, axillary and subcoryimbose, the pedicels 
armed with unequal "slender prickles, intermingled with stiff, 
glandular hairs; calyx hispid; fruit dark clouded red, with a 
whitish tomentose bloom. Flowers in J une, fruit ripe in July. 
Sandlake. Not common. 
This species is intermediate between /2. strigosus and J/?. occident- 
alis, and combines to a considerable extent the characters of both. 
From the former it may be distinguished by its mode of growth 
(which is exactly like that of 2. 0c -videntalis), long recurved stems 
and stout prickles; from the latter by its more numerous, straight 
prickles, sessile lateral leaflets and hispid calyx’; from both by the 
color and flavor of its berries. These have a peculiarly agreeable 
taste, which probably suggested the name “ Cream Berries,” by 
which the fruit is known to the inhabitants of the locality above 
mentioned. 
It occurs sparingly in recently cleared lands, associated with its 
nearly allied species. It is recommended to the attention of gar- 
deners and fruit growers as worthy of cultivation. 
It seems to have been previously known to some of our botanists, 
but was probably considered a sportive form of one or another of 
its congeners, in view of which a name has been given indicative 
of its supposed past treatment.
