1 In the descriptions by stem is meant the barren stem of the year ; 

 the prickles are called patent when they spread at right angles to the St., 

 and subpatent when a little declining ; the shape of the leaflets, unless 

 otherwise stated, is taken from those of the barren stem. The term 

 seta is used to express a hair or bristle tipped with a gland ; aciculi 

 are strong bristles. By R. G. the plates in Weihe and Nees's Rubi 

 Germanici are intended.
