Shrub. June, July. 



Stem 6 feet high or more, branching, bushy, with round, brownish, 

 leafy, prickly, but otherwise smooth and naked, branches. 

 Prickles often two near together under the insertion of each leaf, 

 besides a few scattered solitary ones, all slender and awl-shaped, 

 in some degree curved, but with no very great dilatation at the 

 base ; nor are they compressed and sickle-shaped, like the spe- 

 cies of the next section. Leaflets 5 or 7, ovate, or slightly el- 

 liptical, most acute at the extremity, and somewhat pointed ; 

 their serratures double, acute and glandular ; both surfaces 

 usually hoary, soft and downy, with a slight resinous scent, the 

 under one more or less glandular. Footstalks downy, sometimes 

 beset with many hooked prickles, as well as with copious glan- 

 dular bristles. Slipulas linear, downy, with a dense glandular 

 fringe ; the uppermost becoming broad, ovate, pointed bracteas. 

 Flower-stalks usually 2 or 3, often solitary, seldom 4, longer or 

 shorter than the bracteas, clothed plentifully with glandular 

 bristles of various lengths. Tube of the calyx elliptic-oblong, 

 sometimes almost globular, generally covered irregularly with 

 glandular bristles, which are most crowded about the base j but
