 In woods and thickets ; a doubtful native. 



In a wood in Aketon pasture, near Pontefract, Yorkshire. Mr. Sa- 

 lisbury. Not now to be found there. Mr, Sabine, 

 jS is common in gardens. 



Shrub. May. 



Stem 4 or 5 feet high, with irregular, spreading, leafy, round 

 branches, of a dark purplish brown, beset with very slender, 

 white, glandular-tipped bristles, often wanting, as Mr. Woods 

 remarks, on the upper part of the plant, and ahvays soon deci- 

 duous ; so that they are rarely observable on dried specimens, 

 though the small papillary points, from which they originated, 

 may easily be seen. Prickles very few, generally in pairs under the 

 young branches, small, slender, pale, slightly deflexed, each with 

 a dilated, oblong, flat base. Common footstalks slender, round, 

 slightly compressed, downy, almost uniformly without prickles, 

 each with a pair of oblong, acute, membranous, smooth, pur- 

 plish, wavy, combined stipulas, fringed with sessile glands, at- 

 tached to its base ; the upper stipulas, wanting leaves, be- 

 come simple and dilated, assuming the form of alternate brac- 

 teas. Leaflets 5 or 7, elliptic-lanceolate, r,cute. simply but un- 

 e(iually serrated ; of a greyish green, and nearly naked, above ; 

 glaucous and finely downy beneath ; the lowermost gradually 

 smallest. Flower-stalks 1, 2 or 3, terminal, simple, round.
