Baker, in Nat. 1864, p. 97. 



Stems arching ; prickles stout, hooked. Leaflets oval or ellip- 

 tical, glaucous-green and glahrous above, more glaucous and 

 glabrous beneath, sharply and simply or imperfectly doubly ser- 

 rate, scarcely any of the serrat'ures gland-tipped ; petioles nearly 

 destitute of hairs or gland-tipped setai, hut with a few prickles. 

 Stipules and bracts glal)rous, sparingly ciliated with small gland- 

 tipped teeth. Pedicels glabrous, short, rather shorter than the 

 bracts. Styles densely woolly. Fruit turning scarlet early in Sep- 

 tember. Sepals leaf-pointed and copiously pinnate, naked or with 

 a few gland-tijiped setae on the outside, tomentose on the margins, 

 scarcely or not at all ciliated with gland-tipped setae, mostly adhering 

 until the fruit is fully ripe. 



Hedges in North-east Yorkshire. 



Mr. Baker finds plants similar to the above, but with a few 

 gland-tipped aciculi on the pedicels, at Wood-end, Thirsk, and 

 Chesterholme, Northumberland.

Leaves without glands beneath. Pedicels naked, or only acci- 

 dentally with a few aciculi or gland-tipped setae. Pruit stone-hard 

 when green, ripening in the end of September or October. Sepals

 colour.
