Sect. Char., fyc. Stem upright. Petioles, peduncles, and 

 calyxes bearing glanded hairs. Disks of leaves 5-lobed, 

 unequally toothed. Inflorescence subcorymbose. Flowers 

 large, showy, red. Sepals ovate, longly acuminate, shorter 

 than the petals. Carpels numerous, ovate, velvety. Style 

 funnel-shaped. Fruit red. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 566.) This 

 species is allied by its fruit to R. idae v us. It is a native 

 of North America, in woods ; and has been in cultivation 

 in Britain since 1739. It grows to the height of 4 ft. or 

 6 ft. ; and produces its showy purplish red flowers, in 

 abundance, from June to September. These are not 

 succeeded by fruit in this country ; but Pursh informs 

 us that, in a wild state, the fruit is yellow, and of a very fine flavour, 

 and a large size. " Cornutus, who first figured and described this plant, 

 gave it the name of odoratus, on account of the fragrance of its foliage." 

 (Bot. Mag., t. 323.) It is abundant in the woods of Canada, and on the 

 Alleghany Mountains.
