Rubus droserecalyce Wall. ‘The great Japanese Wineberry.’ 
In the Bogs-valley Gardens, Harrogate—planted, but quite 
hardy and acclimatised (Mr. Sutherland) : a magnificent fruiter, 
the bramble-berries being of a deep currant-red, pleasantly 
acidulous and of fine flavour. A native of Northern Japan, 
China, and Nepaul. The species is suberect, three to five 
feet high, stem nearly terete, clothed with very numerous 
red drosera-like glands, which exude a clear fly-catching gum, 
and many straight weak prickles; the leaves are trifoliate, 
rugose and deep-green above, with a fine silvery felting beneath; 
the panicle is leafy and very large, often bearing a hundred 
flowers, the petals of which are small, but the petioles and leaf- 
tipped calyces are profusely beset with sticky, deep-red gland- 
hairs ; the fruit is oblong and raspberry-like, but of a glassier 
appearance, and a bright, lighter red.

leaves are finely dentated, narrow-oblong, or lanceolate, very 
___¢vidently though shortly petioled, and do not shine as in 
Feb, 1894.
