1905, p. 6, figs. 



This handsome Chinese bramble was introduced to the Botanic Gardens 

 of this country through the discoverer, Dr. Augustine Henry, in 1899, 

 from the Province of Hupeh, and later sent home by Wilson, who found 

 it in the same locality. 



Eemarkable for white stems, closely set with prickles, and a very 

 woolly fruit of sub-globose shape, resembling a raspberry as it also 

 does in flavour. 



EUBUS LEUCOCAEPUS, Benth. 



A species raised from seed collected in Central China. The leaves 

 pinnate, consist of several pairs of pinnae ; the leaflets small with serrate 

 margins. 



The flowers in small sessile clusters in the axils of those of the cur- 

 rent season's growth are of a pink colour, individually small, followed 

 by white or red fruit. 



EUBUS NIVEUS, Watt. 



A strong-growing species often reaching a height of 20 ft., clothed with 

 three to five foliate leaves, covered with a soft pubescence which gives a 

 satiny impression to the touch. 



The lateral leaflets oblique, the terminal triangular in outline with 

 coarsely toothed margins, the under surface white. 



The small white flowers are in axillary and terminal corymbs followed 

 by purplish fruit. 



EUBUS PALMATUS, Thunb. 

 Bot. Mag. t. 7801. 



A white-flowered species with elegantly lobed palmate leaves, not 

 perfectly hardy in other than favoured localities in this country, and a 

 suitable subject for clothing pillars in the cool greenhouses or the winter 

 garden. 



A native of the central mountains of Japan, Korea, and China, it was 

 from the first-named country introduced to cultivation. 



EUBUS PAEKEEI, Hance. 



A species introduced through Wilson from the Province of Hupeh,

 glens and gorges.
