 trate, slightly angular below, strongly angular above, with 

 many unequal hairs, setae and aciculi. Prickles subpatent,

 also the aciculi and setae. Leaves quinate. Leaflets stalked, 

 flat, doubly and patently dentate, pilose above, pale green 

 with long soft hairs on the veins beneath, and often (especially 

 towards the upper end of the stems) with a thin coat of felt 

 between them ; all obovate-cuspidate ; terminal broad, some- 

 times roundish; petioles (which are not furrowed above) and 

 midribs with strong hooked prickles beneath ; stipules linear- 

 lanceolate.
