Group 6. Erotic Dewberries, with very long, prickly, 

 glaucous canes and large very sharp-toothed Ifts. 

 36. dumetdmm, Weihe. Pig. 2216. Canes long and 

 slender, terete, often 10-25 ft. long, trailing or half- 

 prostrate, glaucous, thickly beset with rather small 

 somewhat curved spines: Ifts. usually 3, mostly broad- 

 ovate, pointed to acuminate, irregularly sharp-toothed, 

 becoming bronzy and bi^own in autumn: lis. small, 

 white, the calyx white-tomentose, on short pedicels in 

 a cluster terminating leafy growths of the season: fr. 

 of a few large black drupelets. Europe.— Lately intro 

 duced for the covering of banks and stony places, for 

 which it is highly recommended. Its autumn color is 

 attractive. Hardy in New England. 



R. bifBrus. Ham. Raspberry, apparently allied to R. occi- 

 dentalis, and prized iu cult, for its glaucous -white canes: 

 reaches 8-10 ft., with strong arching canes that bear strong, 

 recurved prickles: Ifts. ovate or oval, incise - serrate, whitish 

 beneath: lis. large and white, 1-3 on drooping pedicels: berry 

 amber-colored, size of the common Raspberry, the calyx at first 

 erect but finally spreading. Temperate Himalaya. B.M. 4678. 

 R.H. 1835:5. Gn. 54, p. 456.— is. Oapensis, Burbank. Under this 

 n.ame Luther Burbank describes a bramble th.at came to him 

 • way of New Zealand from South Africa, and is probably 



and few short scattered prickles; the fruit is fully as large or 

 larger than Shaffer's Colossal Raspberry, of a purpUsh wine 

 or mulberry color, and of excellent quality, though the berries 

 do not separate from the receptacle as freely as they should: 

 it is a very promising berry-plant." See Burbank's "New 

 Creations in Fruits and Flowers," June, 1894; also Gu.4«,p. 

 126. The picture represents a very rugose leaf with 5 shallow 

 nearly rounded lobes and very irregularly serrate margins: 

 stems with curved prickles, and a small cluster with large, 

 globular short-pedicelled fruits. It is i.inl.iilily H. Mohiccanus. 

 —B.Japdnicus.Yeitch. Known to lii.itiiiiltuiKt^ in its varie- 

 gated form (K. Japonicus tricolor): slrn.lrr ir.iiN r, with rose-

 lobed, very sharply toothed, the ynitii:,'<st oms iiinkish white 

 and the mature ones blotched green and white. Not known to 

 be in cult, in this country. It would probably not be hardy 

 north. The botanical position of the plant is not designated.
