Obs. 1. It is very difficult to point out upon paper any good 
character by which to distinguish this plant from the following, 
between which and R. Kehleri it forms the connecting link. 
Obs. 2. The Rev. W. H. Coleman has sent a specimen under 
the name of R. horridissimus (Colem. MSS.) which seems to be 
referable to this species. The panicle appears to have been taken 
from a young plant, and so does not admit of accurate determina- 
tion; it is short, narrow, nearly simple; the two lower yee 
branches 3-flowered, very short; the rest single-flowered an 
short. Barren shoot rather angular, thickly covered with prickles, 
aciculi, sete and hairs merging gradually into each other ; prickles 
slender, nearly or quite straight, declining. Petioles both gene- 
ral and partial, similarly armed, except that the prickles are de- 
flexed and the hairs much more numerous. Leaves quinate, dull 
ereen and pilose above, rather paler, hairy and finely tomentose 
beneath. Terminal leaflet oblong-obovate acuminate. This plant 
is well deserving of attention ; it was found in Kasney Park Wood 
near Ware, Hertfordshire, in flower on the 26th of June 1844.
