ROSACEvE. XXII. ROSA. 



567 



Native of Gosaingsthan. Flowers red. Peduncles villous, and 

 furnished with a few unequal setae, as well as the fruit. 

 Long-leaved Rose. Shrub 5 to 6 feet. 



SECT. V. PIMPINELLIFOLI/E (from pimpinella, pimpernel, and 

 folium, a leaf; resemblance in leaves to those of pimpernel). 

 Lindl. ros. p. 36. Plants bearing crowded, nearly equal prickles, 

 or unarmed. Bractless, rarely bracteate. Leaflets ovate or oblong. 

 Sepals connivent, permanent. Disk almost wanting. This sec- 

 tion is essentially different from the last in habit, but in artificial 

 characters they approach very nearly. It, however, may be 

 distinguished by the greater number of leaflets, which vary from 

 7 to 13, and even to 15, instead of from 5 to 7. The flowers 

 are also universally without bracteas, except in the R. alpma, R. 

 Sabini, JR. Doniana, and perhaps R. marginata. These having 

 connivent permanent sepals, cannot be confounded with the pre- 

 ceding division, nor on account of their disk with the following. 

 There is no instance of stipular prickles in the present tribe. The 

 sepals are entire or nearly so, unless when mentioned otherwise.
