companion. A similar little herb, living for a great part of the 

 year in snow namely, K. Gunnianus (Hook.) occurs on the 

 Alpine heights of Tasmania, from whence it might be easily 

 transferred to snowy mountains of other countries. The fruit 

 of R. Gunnianus is red and juicy, but not always well 

 developed. 



Eubus cimeifolius, Pursh. 



The Sand Blackberry. North America. A dwarf shrub. 

 The fruit is of agreeable taste. 



Eubus deliciosus, Torrey. 



On the sources of the Missouri. An erect shrub. Fruit 

 raspberry-like, large and grateful. An exceedingly hand- 

 some species. 



Eubus ellipticus, Smith. (E.flavus, Hamilton.) 



On the mountains of India (4,000 to 7,000 feet), also in Ceylon 

 and Yunan. A large bush with yellow fruits, which are 

 reckoned in flavour fully equal to the ordinary Raspberry 

 (C. B. Clarke). 



Eubus fruticosus, Linne.* 



The ordinary Blackberry or Bramble. All Europe, North 

 and South Africa, Middle and Northern Asia. The shrub 

 tears well in a temperate clime. In some countries it is a 

 favourite plant for hedges. It likes, above all, calcareous soil, 

 though it is content with almost any, and deserves to be 

 naturalised on the rivulets of any ranges. R. corylifolius 

 (Sm.), R. suberectus (Andr.), and R. leucostachys (Sm.) are 

 varieties like many other named kinds of European Black- 

 berries, or perhaps belong to the closely allied R. caesius (L.), 

 the English Dewberry ; or in some instances hybrid forms may 

 have arisen from the two, although the generality of these 

 various Blackberry bushes bear their fruit freely enough. 



Eubus geoides, Smith. 



Falkland Islands, Fuegia, Patagonia, and Chiloe. A herba- 

 ceous kind of Raspberry-plant with greenish-yellow fruits, 

 resembling the Cloudberry, and of a very agreeable taste. 

 Best adapted for mountainous regions. 



Eubus Havaiensis, A. Gray. 



Sandwich Islands. The fruits of this bramble shrub are 

 raspberry-like.
