sepals), and with small, smooth, shining carpels The shoots are usually 

 setigerous next the ground; but rarely so towards the apex, except in one 

 or two instances. R. alpina and K. acicularis, of the following division, 

 sometimes have bracteas; but their sepals never fall oft' till the fruit is 

 decayed. Sepals simple, entire, or nearly so, unless when mentioned other- 

 wise. {Don's Mill., ii. p, 5G.5. ) Plants of most of the species are in culti- 

 vation in British gardens.

 5 — 9, lanceolate-elliptical, coriaceous, bluntly ser- 

 rated, glossy. Stipules dilated, large, finely serrated, 

 and extended as far as to the leaflets. Peduncles 

 somewhat hispid. Flowers red, and opening late

 Spec. Char., SjC. Dwarf and reddish in aspect. Stem and 



branches almost covered with slender, rather equal 



prickles. Leaflets 5 — 9, rather rigid, lanceolate, glossy. 



Stipules large, finely serrated, extending as far as to the 



leaflets. Flowers red. Peduncle bristly. Sepals spread- 

 ing. Fruit bristly, shining, and scarlet. [Dec. Prod., 2. 



p. 6()3.) A shrui), a native of Newfoundland, beset 



with straight red spines. Flowers deep red. » Fruit 



depressed, spherical, bright scarlet. Introduced in 



1807; growing to the height of 2ft., and flowering 



from June to August. This is an interesting plant, 



from its dwarf stature, its abundant reddish prickles, its 



glossy leaves, its flowers, and its fruit. Scringe seems 



to think it a variety of R. ICicida. The R. nftida, which 



forms No. 36. in Lodd. Cat., ed. 1836, is a variety of R. 



ferox.
