Tliis appears to have little afUnity Avith the other Kohleriani, 

 though the armature of the stem agrees hest with them. 



Lejetme's Bramble. 



Stjb-Gkoup II.— BELLARDIANI. Bab. 



Leaves mostly ternate, prickles chiefly confined to the angles of 

 the stem, which has very numerous aciculi and gland-tipped setae. 



Sub-Species XXXII.— Rubus psrramidalis. Bab. 



Bah. Man. Brit. Bot. ed. v. p. 107. 



Barren stem almost prostrate, roundish, sparingly hairy ; 

 prickles numerous, short, strong, deflexed, from a rather elongate 

 compressed base ; aciculi and gland-tipped setae rather numerous, 

 short, and nearly equal. Leaves of the barren stem mostly ternate 

 or more rarely pedate-quinate ; " leaflets convex " (Bab.), coria- 

 ceous, opaque, sub-glabrous above, sparingly pilose on the veins 

 beneath, finely and irregularly denticulate-serrate ; terminal leaflet 

 oval-obovate, truncate or sub-cordate at the base, cuspidate. 

 Plowers in a pyramidal panicle, leafless and racemose above, wdth 

 the branches short, spreading-ascending and simjile, the lower 

 ones elongate racemose ; rachis straight, I'igid, and as well as the 

 pedicels densely felted and stifSy-hairy, with very numerous 

 unequal gland-tipped seta^ and aciculi, and a few slender declining 

 unequal prickles. Sepals broadly lanceolate, cuspidate, loosely 

 adpressed to the fruit. 



On the borders of woods. Bare. In the counties of Somerset, 

 Worcester, Monmouth, and Carnarvon. 



England. Shrub. Summer. 



The only specimens of this form which I have seen are those

 rachis of the pyramidal panicle. 



Pyramklal-Jlowered Bramble. 



Sub-Species XXXIII. —Rubus Guntheri. Weihe, 

 Bab. Man. Brit. Bot. ed. v. p. 107. 



Barren stem arching-prostrate, round, sparingly hairy ; prickles 

 rather few, very unequal, slender, hooked or declining, from a 

 rather long, scarcely compressed base; aciculi and gland-tipped
