156 ROSACEA. (rose family.) 



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

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

 ividely 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. vesca, L. Achenia 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. F. Indica, L. (or Duche'snea 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 rootstocks, 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 Linnasus.) 



1 . D. repens, L. Downy ; sepals spreading in the flower, converging and 

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

 In aspect and foliage resembling a stemless Violet. 



14. RUB US, 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 Ji ill separately. 



* Leaves simple : floivers large: pr icicles none: fruit and receptacle flat and broad. 



1. R. odoratus, 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-Auj;. — Flowers showy, 2' broad. 



2. R. Nutkanus, Mocino. (White F.) Glandular, scarcely bristly; 

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

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