4. R. leucostachys. White-clustered Bramble. 



Stems angular, downy. Prickles deflexed, slightly hooked. 

 Leaves of five or three roundish-ovate, or heart-shaped, 

 pointed, jagged leaflet's ; hoary beneath. Panicle cylin-

Shrub. July, .August. 



Mr. Borrer observes that this species " rivals the fruticosus and 

 rhamnifolius in size, and resembles them in mode of growth ; 

 but is readily dl'^tinguishable by its abundant shaggy and 

 shining pubescence, and narrow cluster or panicle. The leaves 

 also are generally more jagged, and even the old stems are 

 rarely without hairs. The shoots are angular, scarcely fur- 

 rowed." All the specimens I have seen confirm this account. 

 One of them was received by Mr. E. Forster from a well-known 

 Swiss botanist, Mr. Schleicher, under the above name. What 

 I find peculiar in this species are the abundant little glands, 

 sessile or somewhat stalked, scattered over the branches and 

 stalks of the long, narrow, cylindrical panicle, as well as the 

 outside of the calyx, but seldom projecting so far as the copious 

 hairs of those parts. The calyx moreover is destitute of prickles, 

 except a few short ones occasionally at the very base. Petals 

 white or pale red. Fruit globular, black. 



This species is sometimes found, by Mr. Borrer, with heart-shaped 

 lea/lets, which may further justify my referring cordifolius to 

 rhamnifolius. 



5. R. glandulosus . Glandular Bramble. 



Stems angular ; branches and footstalks hairy, with glan- 

 dular bristles interspersed. Prickles deflexed, partly 

 hooked. Leaflets five or three, downy beneath. Pa- 

 nicle and cal}T{ very prickly and hairy, with copious 

 glandular bristles.
