214i ENGLISH BOTANY. 



urceolate-ovoid, thickly clothed with gland-tipped acicuH, " or 

 nearly naked." — (Baker.) Sepals deciduous, falling before the 

 fruit is ripe, leaf-pointed, generally sparingly pinnate, clothed with 

 gland-tipped setae. 



Gathered by Mr. F. M. Webb and Mr. H. S. Fisher, in a hedge 

 near Morton, Cheshire ; only one bush actually known. From this 

 some doubts may be entertained of its being native. 



England ? Shrub. Summer. 



I am indebted to Mr. Baker for a specimen of this plant. It 

 agrees in general appearance with R. tomentosa, but the prickles 

 resemble those of 11. Borreri, and the leaves are moi'e glandular 

 and less thickly pubescent than those of the Villosas group. Mr. 

 Baker describes it as a vigorous bush with arching stems, about 

 6 feet in height, the flower pink and about the size of R. tomen- 

 tosa. The fruit f to f inch long by f broad, with the sepals 

 falling before it changes colour. He says that the Cheshire plant 

 agrees well with the French plant sent him by M. Deseglise, 

 except that the prickles are more robust.

Prickles numerous, large, curved, uniform, not intermixed with 

 aciculi and gland-tipped setae. Leaflets oval or elliptical, sharply 

 serrate, with the serratures again very faintly serrated, deep green 

 above where they are sparingly hairy when young but glabrous 

 when mature, paler more hairy and with a few sticky almost scent- 

 less glands beneath. Pedicels short, with large oval bracts, and 

 clothed with a few aciculi and gland-tipped aciculi. Styles hairy. 

 Fruit urceolate-ovoid, scarlet when ripe. Sepals deciduous, falling 

 by the time the fruit is ripe, leaf-pointed, entire, or slightly pin- 

 natifid, " varying from almost naked to a good deal glandular 

 on the outside." — (Baker.) 



In hedges and thickets. Apparently not common. Only known
