that Ripart and Déséglise worked conjointly, even when only the 
former's name is quoted; and as Ripart’s name has n accepted

are small, ipdlcal seins or light minate, toot bag 4 very 
scone but not quite simple, and not more irregular than in several 
examples of R. lutetiana Lém., while at the same time not more 
simple than in many examples of the biserrate subgroups. Pe- 
tioles slightly glandular, glabrous or very slightly hairy at nodes. 
The fruit is small and ovoid, in accordance with the description, 
but other specimens, not of Ripart’s gathering, show a more sub- 
hispid, prominent but quite loose. Disc conical. Sepals much 
pinnate, some of the pinne gland-tipped. 
The majority of foreign een can be cee 2 ne from 
others of this subgroup by the long, very white woolly styles, but 
points are strong, often hooked prickles, a decided tendency to 
hairiness of petioles, though often they are quite ieee: also 
some irregularity in the dentition, but this, again, does not appear 
in all examples. The leaflets and fruit are rather sani; = the 
petals are white. 
There are four British specimens in herb. Déséglise, all looking 
quite different from Ripart’s specimen and from one another. One
