beneath except the nerves which have a yellowish pubescence ; petiole stout, prickly 

 or not ; stipules setaceous, quite entire. Flowers much crowded, $ in. diam. ; bracts 

 setaceous, very tomentose. Calyx densely tomentose and bristly ; lobes lanceolate, 

 acumklate, quite entire. Petals obovate-oblong. Carpels with long silky hairs, not 

 tomentose as in the ordinary forms of E. lasiocarpus. Fruit globose, of many fleshy 

 orange-red almost glabrous drupes ; stone deeply pitted. This is possibly another 

 extreme form of E. lasiocarpus, which (like R. racemosus) has become glandular. 



39. R. horridulus, Hook. f. ; eglandular, prickles very many crowded 

 hooked, branches arched, leaflets 5-7 densely softly hairy incised-serrate, 

 petioles and single-flowered peduncles densely clothed with hooked prickles, 

 calyx-tube hemispheric densely clothed with straight prickles, petals purple, 

 carpels villous. 



BHOTAN, at Panga, alt. 7600 ft., Griffith. 



Branches cylindric, slender, glabrous, with usually straight slightly compressed 

 prickles. Leaves 2-4 in. ; petiole very slender, sparingly hairy, with numerous 

 strongly hooked prickles ; leaflets 3 \ in., equally clothed with long soft flexuous 

 hairs on both surfaces, acute or acuminate. Peduncle clothed and armed like the 

 petioles, 1 in., always 1-flowered. Calyx-tube \ in. diam., quite clothed with spread- 

 ing straight shining prickles ; lobes large, ovate-lanceolate, long-acuminate, quite 

 entire, pubescent on both surfaces, erect in fruit. Petals small, purple according to 

 Griffith's notes. Stamens very numerous. Carpels numerous, villous, with long 

 straight white hairs. Fruit small, of 6-12 subpubescent drupes ; stone reniform, 

 rugosely pitted. This appears to be in every way a very distinct species, but it is 

 impossible to say to what extent more copious materials may modify the above 

 description ; it is allied to R. sikkimensis, H. f., and pungens, Camb. 



40. R. pung-ens, Camb. in Jacq. Voy. Sot. 48, t. 59 ; eglandular except 

 sometimes the inflorescence and petioles, prickles many slender straight, stems 

 very long and slender, leaflets 5-7 membranous ovate deeply inciso-serrate 

 glabrous concolorous, flowers solitary or 2-3 axillary long-peduncled, calyx 

 densely prickly, lobes caudate, carpels with long hairs. Maximov. Diagn.

 Stewart. DISTRIB. Japan (a variety). 



Branches long, lax, cylindric, trailing, green, glabrous except the pubescent tips. 

 Leaves 2-4 in., petiole very slender, sometimes glandular, unarmed or with faintly 

 hooked prickles ; leaflets 11^- in., sessile, bright-green on both surfaces, quite 

 glabrous or faintly hairy on the nerves beneath, terminal broader, cordate, 3-lobed ; 

 stipules narrow lanceolate or setaceous. Flowers nearly 1 in. diam., erect; peduncle 

 stout, slender, prickly and pubescent. Calyx-tube hemispheric ; lobes sometimes in. 

 long, pubescent on both surfaces, spreading in fruit. Petals obovate-spathulate, 

 longer than the calyx, white (?). Fruit globose, small ; drupes few, on a conical 

 glabrous receptacle, pubescent, stone minutely pitted. Clearly closely allied to 

 R. horridulus and sikkimensis, but with more the habit of R. ideeus or saxatilis. 

 The petals are multiplied in Falconer's specimen. 



41. R. rosaefolius, Smith Ic. ined. iii. t. 60 ; glabrous or pubescent, 

 glandular-hairy or not, prickles scattered hooked, leaves long, leaflets 5-7 ovate- 

 lanceolate acuminate doubly inciso-serrate, green on both surfaces, stipules 

 subulate-lanceolate, flowers solitary and in very loose panicles, calyx-lobes 

 caudate, petals white exceeding the calyx, carpels excessively numerous, fruit 

 large of innumerable orange-red minute glabrous drupes. Roxb. Fl. Ind. ii.
