I. RoELLA linifolia. R. 



Shrubby, subparasitic (on Dicksonia arborescens.) Leaves sparse, 

 sessile, numerous, linear, smooth, very acutely serrulate. Peduncles 

 (racemes,) terminal few-flowered. 



A pretty little raraous diffuse alpine plant found on the top of Sandy Bay 

 ridge, chiefly on Dianas Peak. Leaves crowded round the somewhat 

 villous columnar branches. The flowers white, with a tinge of pink, and 

 highly ornamental. 



E. Rosa triphylla. R. Scandeut, ternate-leaved, large white single 

 rose. 



E. centifoUa. Willd.2. 1071. Common rose. 



E. muscosa. Willd. 2. 1078, Moss rose. 



chineusis. Willd. 2. 1078, 



E. semperfloretis. Willd. 2. 1074' 



RuBUS pinnatiis. WUld. 2. 1081 ? 



Shrubby. Leaves pinnate ; leaflets 5 or 7, rarely 3, ovate-cordate, 

 lucid, strongly veined, doubly serrate. Panicles terminal. Stems, branches, 

 petioles and peduncles armed ; tender shoots villous and hoary. 



Bramble the vernacular name on St. Helena, where it proves a most 

 noxious plant : running over very large tracts of the bestlgjJ^, whe^ the 

 rapidity with which it grows to a much larger size than the common 

 bramble of Europe (^Rvbiis friiticosus^ has hitherto baflled every attempt to 

 extirpate it. The roots grow to a great size, and every bit left in the ground 

 grows. Stem scarce any : what there is, grows to be as thick as a man's ' 

 leg sometimes. Branches numerous, very long and scandent, when their 

 apices rest on the ground they strike root and produce other plants, as in 

 the other species of this genus : the young shoots glaucous and downy ; 

 the bark of the old dark brown ; all are well armed with numerous recurved 

 prickles. Lmres alternate, pinnate, 6-12 inches long ; /eaj^e^s ovate and 

 ovate-cordate, smooth, doubly serrate. Petioles and ribs armed. Stipules 

 petiolary, ensiform. Panicles terminal, with their peduncles and subdivi- 

 sions armed and downy. Bractes like the stipules. Calycine segments
