156 ROS^CE^E. (ROSE FAMILY.) 



Prince) is a coarser or larger plant, perhaps a distinct species, the flowers more 

 inclined to be polygamo-dicecious, the villous hairs of the scape and pedicels 

 widely spreading, as in F. elatior and F. collina, which it seems to represent in 

 this country. Common in richer soil, from W. New York to Illinois and be- 

 yond the Rocky Mountains. The supposed original of Hovey's Seedling, Bos- 

 ton Pine, and other cultivated varieties. 



2. F. v6sca, L. Aclienia superficial on the glabrous conical or hemispherical 

 fruiting receptacle (not sunk in pits) ; calyx remaining spreading or reflexed ; 

 hairs on the scape mostly widely spreading, on the pedicels appressed ; leaflets 

 thin, even the upper face strongly marked by the veins. Fields and rocky 

 places : common; certainly indigenous northward. (Eu.) 



3. P. INDICA, L. (or Duchesnea fragarioides, Smith), which differs from 

 the true Strawberries in having leafy runners, a calyx with incised leafy bract- 

 lets larger than the sepals, yellow petals, and insipid fruit, has sparingly estab- 

 lished itself in copses around Philadelphia (Charles E. Smith, &c.), and in the 

 Southern States. (Adv. from Ind.) 



13. DALIBARDA, L. DALIBARDA. 



Calyx deeply 5 - 6-parted, 3 of the divisions larger and toothed. Petals 5, 

 sessile, deciduous. Stamens many. Ovaries 5- 10, becoming nearly dry seed- 

 like drupes : styles terminal, deciduous. Low perennials, with creeping and 

 densely tufted stems or roots tocks, and roundish-heart-shaped crenate leaves on 

 slender petioles. Flowers 1 or 2, white, on scape-like peduncles. (Named in 

 honor of Thomas Dalibard, a French botanist of the time of Linnaeus.) 



1. D. r&pens, L. Downy; sepals spreading in the flower, converging and 

 enclosing the fruit. Wooded banks : common northward. June - Aug. 

 In aspect and foliage resembling a stemless Violet. 



14. BUB TJS, Tourn. BRAMBLE. 



Calyx 5-parted, without bractlets. Petals 5, deciduous. Stamens numerous. 

 Achenia usually many, collected on a spongy or succulent receptacle, becoming 

 small drupes : styles nearly terminal. Perennial herbs, or somewhat shrubby 

 plants, with white (rarely reddish) flowers, and edible fruit. (The Roman 

 name, kindred with ruber, red.) 

 1. RASPBERRY. Fruit, or collective mass of drupes, falling off" whole from the 



dry receptacle when ripe, or of few grains which fall separately. 

 * Leaves simple : flowers large: prickles none: fruit and receptacle flat and broad. 



1. K. odor&tus, L. (PURPLE FLOWERING-RASPBERRY.) Stem shrubby 

 (3 -5 high); branches, stalks, and calyx bristly with glandular clammy hairs; 

 leaves 3 - 5-lobed, the lobes pointed and minutely toothed, the middle one pro- 

 longed ; peduncles many-flowered ; calyx-lobes tipped with a long narrow ap- 

 pendage; petals rounded, purple rose-color; fruit reddish. Dells, &c. : common 

 northward. June -Aug. Flowers showy, 2' broad. 



2. R. Nutk&nus, Mocino. (WHITE F.) Glandular, scarcely bristly; 

 leaves almost equally 5-lobed, coarsely toothed ; peduncles few-flowered ; petals 

 oval, white. (R. parviflbrus, Nutt.) Upper Michigan, and westward.
