RASPBERRY. 121 



pubescent ; leaves smooth or slightly villous ; leaflets 

 cuneate-obovate, about an inch long, incisely toothed. 

 Flowers often solitary, on long slender peduncles, white, 

 succeeded by fruit consisting of from three to six large 

 red, pulpy drupelets. Pacific coast. 



R. triflorus. Dwarf Kaspberry. Stems erect, six to 

 twelve inches high or trailing ; leaflets three ; rhombic- 

 ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acute at both ends, coarsely 

 doubly serrate, thin, smooth ; peduncles one to three- 

 flowered. Woody hill-sides throughout the Northern 

 States. Not in cultivation, and no improved varieties 

 known. 



CLASS 4. Leaves as in Class 3. Stems biennial and 

 woody, prickly ; receptacle oblong ; fruit hemispherical. 



R, Iccuodermis* White-stemmed Easpberry. Stem 

 erect, but ends bending over, as usual with all the black- 

 cap Raspberries ; glaucous, armed with stout, mostly re- 

 curved prickles ; leaves three-foliate, or sometimes pe- 

 dately five-foliate, never simple; leaflets ovate to lanceolate, 

 acuminate, double serrate, white-tomentose beneath, veins 

 and petioles prickly; fruit large, but variable in color, 

 from a yellowish brown to black, usually with consider- 

 able bloom. This species was first described by Douglas 

 some fifty years ago, and recently in the Botany of Cali- 

 fornia, but from long acquaintance with it, not only in its 

 native habitats in the Rocky Mountains, and with plants 

 from various sources cultivated in my garden, I cannot 

 see why it should be separated as a distinct species from 

 the R. occidentalis. 



R, strigosiiSt Wild Red Raspberry. Stems upright, 

 beset with stiff, straight bristles ; leaflets three to five, 

 oblong, ovate, pointed, cut serrate, whitish-downy under- 

 neath ; fruit light red, finely flavored. Common evsry* 

 where, and many varieties of it in cultivation.
