SUPPLEMENT TO NOTES ON RUBI. 28 
I think that this plant belongs to the Kehleriani group. On 
the true panicle I find all the prickles long, slender, and usually 
exed. Such is 
also the case on Genevier’s specimens, although he laid much stress 
upon their being horizontal, that is, patent, to distinguish the 
species. 
R. popornytius Mill. — Stem prostrate, angular, with few 
clustered tire and few sete; prickles slender, rather unequal, 
clining fro re a 
with short hairs and sete, its lower branches racemose- 
corymbose, axillary few-flowered, its prickles slender, declining ; 
sepals hairy, felted, setose, aciculate e, reflexed ; petals white, 
much narrowed below; stamens white, exceeding the greenis 
styles; carpels glabrous. 
R. podophyllus P. J. Mill. in Boulay Ronces Vosg. Not. p. 61, 
spec. 44 (1867); Genev.! Monog, 129.— Stem prostrate, shrles 
striate, a few very one sete. Prickles rather unequal, declining 
(or deflexed). Leaves 5-8-nate, pale green and not felted beneath, 
oval. The along se of 5-nate, and lateral of 3-nate, leaves with 
7. — disc ge atiraio stalks. Stipules seg poe olate. Panicle 
narr mple subracemose, with short hairs and sete, 
slightly pra A with slender declining a sekieats which are deflexed 
on its lower part: its lower axillary branches few-flowered, the 
upper simple, all more or less ascending. Sepals hairy and felted, 
with few sete and aciculi, ovate-attenuate. Petals hie much 
narrowed below. Stamens exceeding the greenish styles. The 
young carpels appear to be quite glabrous. 
hairy beneath, and wanting the few rather larger patent teeth ; its 
panicle also is much more racemose, and its sepals are apparently 
not setose nor aciculate; petals not so much narrowed bela: and 
the young carpels are downy.
