 mag. 132. Root creeping. Flowers deep rose-coloured. Fruit 

 large, purple or red, sweet-scented. Linnaeus has accurately 

 figured this species of Bramble in his Fl. Lapponica, out of gra- 

 titude, as he expresses himself, for the benefit he reaped from it 

 in his Lapland journey ; it having so frequently recruited his 

 spirits when almost sinking with hunger and fatigue, by the 

 vinous nectar of its berries. He informs us that the principal 

 people in Norland make a syrup, a jelly, and a wine from these 

 berries, which they partly consume themselves, and partly send 

 to their friends at Stockholm, as a dainty of the rarest and most 

 delicious kind ; and he adds, of all the wild Swedish berries this 

 holds the first rank.
