30(5 APPENDIX. 



styles are included, and very slightly hairy. In Mr. Bree's 

 plant, which I have seen only under cultivation, I find but little 

 difference, except that the ramuli are less flexuose, and the leaf- 

 lets not remarkably distant, rather larger, and more hairy, 

 almost shaggy beneath. The pinnce of the calyx are less divari- 

 cated, and have glands on the edges only, (as they have in a spe- 

 cimen gathered by Mr. Woods, at Troyes, which, also, has 

 larger leaflets.) The flowers are white, clustered or solitary, 

 according, as usual, to their situation on the bush. The fruit 

 is scarlet, egg-shaped, (rounded at the base,) when sohtary : I 

 have no note of its shape in the bunches.' The prickles, which 

 have a few setce among them, are numerous, the larger ones 

 strongly hooked. Whether setce exist in the foreign plants I 

 know not ; I find none in my limited number of specimens. 

 Desvaux, Journ. de JBot. for 1813. v. ii. p. 116. assigns to this 

 species nine vca-s. and describes five of them as wanting glands, 

 or bearing them only on the petioles. He expresses a strong 

 persuasion that both R. sepium and R. rubiginosa pass into R. 

 canina." Hooker s Brit. Fl. v. 1. p. 235, 236.
