YiO ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 



Spec. Char., S;c. Stem weak, roundish, bearing slender, very acute, and rather recurved, prickles ; 

 and, as well as the peduncles and petioles, villose, and hispid with glanded hairs. Leaflets 3, 

 rareiy '>, ovate, doubly serrated, villose, thiiinish. Flowers in loose panicles. Sepals lanceolate, 

 acuminate. A native of moist woods of Hungary. {Dec. Prod., ii. p. 56i) According to our 

 Jiortus Britamiicus, this was introduceil into Britain in 1816 ; but, according to Dr. Lindley 

 [Synops. Brit. Flora, ed. 2), it is a native of Britain, and is " a strong glandular state of U. cse'sius, 

 approaching Ii. Kci'hler;," which he represents as one of that group of forms which he has asso- 

 ciated with R. corjliffylius as the type.

 Spec. Char., Sfc. This, as compared with R. hfrtus H'aldst. S; Kit., has its stem, petiole, and 



peduncle very finely villous, and only very slightly hispid with glanded hairs. Leaves rather gla. 



brous. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 564.) This, according to our Hort. Brit., is a native of Germany, and was 



introduced into Britain in 1823 ; it has pink flowers.

Spec. Char., Sfc. Branches with scarcely any bristles. Stem leaves with 5 leaflets. Flowers in a 

 leafy straggling panicle. Spontaneous in Britain in hedges and dry ditches. In affinity it is nearly 

 half-way between B. cse'sius, and B. corylifblius. [Lindley, in Synops. of Brit. Flora, ed. 2. p. 94.)

 tomentose. Bracteas small, simple Petioles and peduncles tomeiitosc, prickled. {Dec. Prod., ii. 

 p. .'y.'tti ) A native of Nepal, with procumbent stems, introduced in 1SI8, and flowering in June and 

 July. It is said to be very nearly allied to B. parvifblius ; and, from the appearance of a plant in 

 the Chelsea Botanic Garden, we should consider it only a variety of B. ca;'sius.

 Description, Sfc. The stems are long and 

 trailing, sometimes arching, glaucous and pur- 

 |)lish in the sun, and green in the shade : they 

 are Jjrittle and full of pith. The flowers are 

 large and white, and appear earlier than those 

 of most of the British species. The berry is 

 large, agreeably acid, of larger and fewer grains 

 than in R. fruticosus, and of a browner !)lack : thev
