compound finely pointed teeth. Paii. rather lax, with rigid 

 branches. Pet. white. Fr.-sep. subpatent. 



(iii.) Pan.-prk. crowded, partly falcate. Fr.-sep. patent 

 or subpatent. 



R t lasioclados Foeke. St. and pan.-rach. very densely hairy.

C. Groups VIII. to XIII. St. arcuate-prostrate or prostrate. 

 Armature mixed. Bas. Its. distinctly stalked (though 

 only briefly in some of the Egregii). 



Group VIII. EGKRKGII. ' A group of transition forms ' (as 

 Dr. Focke says of his corresponding A denophori), with armature 

 very variable iu quantity and distribution, but usually less con- 

 spicuously mixed than in the succeeding groups. St. often 

 nearly prostrate and only rarely very hairy, unequally glandular. 

 Bas. Its. sometimes subsessile. N.B. Many of the species 

 placed in this group could no doubt be attached to other groups 

 without great difficulty; but it seems easier to keep the 

 limits of those groups clearly defined if we retain this as ' a 

 middle and collective group.' 



1. Bas. Its. distinctly stalked even in summer. (A denophori 

 petiohdati Focke. ) 



a. St. densely hairy, glaucous. About \ of pan. ultra- 

 axillary.

 scattered prklets. tubercles and stkd. gl. on faces. 



R. adenanthus Boul. & Gill. St.-prk. strong, with a good 

 many prklets and stkd. gl. L. 3-5-nate-pedate, ashy-felted 

 beneath, with compound incised teeth. Pan. considerably 

 glandular. Sep. long, patent or ascending on fall of pet. 



R. Borceanus Genev. L. 5-nate-pedate and 3-nate. Pan.
