38. R. GLANDULOSUS. 249 



caule angulato, foliis subtus pilis splendentibus fere incanis, 

 aculeis in caule petiolo paniculaque duris compressis et basi 

 decurrentibua, liirsutie in petiolis pedunculis et calycibus albo- 

 nitente eglandulosa, in qua raro una alterave glandula detegi- 

 tur. Color foliorum saturate viridis." Wald. Fl. Carpat. 152. 

 The specimen given by Reichenbach in my copy of his 

 Flora exsiccata (No. 875) as R. glandulosus (Bell) is very 

 young and incomplete, being only the top of a flowering 

 shoot. Its rachis, peduncles, and especially calyx, are 

 covered with very many, exceedingly long, purple setae, 

 intermixed on the rachis and peduncles with an abundance 

 of very slender decliniog prickles, which merge gradually 

 into aciculi, and these latter into setae. The rachis is wavy. 

 The lower branches racemose ; the upper subcorymbose. It 

 does not agree with the plates or descriptions of either R, 

 glandulosus or R. hirtuSy and is not quoted under either of 

 those names by Godron. 



Sub-var. dentatus; caule subangulato, foliis ternatis 

 subsequalibus ovatis acuminato-cuspidatis basi cordatis 

 subtus cinereo-viridibus lateralibus patentibus ascen- 

 dentibusque, reliquis ut in R. Bellardi.

This plant is so like the R. Bellardi that a full descrip- 

 tion is unnecessary. I see no reason to doubt their specific 

 identity. 



M. Questier has sent a specimen, which appears to be 

 R. dentatus (Blox.), with the remark, " /i. (olim mihi 

 Schleicheri) nunc Gilntheri forma, floribus quamvis roseis." 

 It agrees exceedingly well with my specimen of R. deyitatus
