In the following arrangement of the brambles, the species 

 given correspond to those in the "British Flora;" and the 

 varieties are species of Professor Babington's Manual. 



By stem is meant the barren shoot of the year ; the description 

 which follows applies to it only : the same course is adopted in 

 reference to the flowering branch. Prickles are said to be hooked 

 when more or less curved, patent when straight and at right 

 angles to the stem, sub -patent is when straight but pointing down- 

 wards or declining ; aciculi are slender prickles or strong bristles ; 

 the term*sece is used in the present genus, and in the roses, to 

 describe bristles or hairs terminated by a knob or gland.
