As in other species, nual characters are tick all represented 
n herbarium specimens, but I have not seen any collected or 
insinadd by Mérat, so can only consider those by the best of the 
more modern collectors. Most descriptions call attention to the 
strong biserration of the leaflets, with much glandular develop- 
ment on their teeth, stipules, bracts, and sepals; but Déséglise, 
while mentioning these characters in his description, does not cal 
attention to them in saying how it differs from dwmalis. Although 
there are in herb. Déséglise specimens named by botanists of 
repute, in which these points are well-marked, the majority, even

y erect, as Déséglise says. They are, as a rule, not much 
pinnatifid. The peduncles are short, and leaflets of padisan 
size. 
There are no British specimens in herb. Déséglise, and of those 
labelled R. biserrata in the British collection, few, if any, seem 
correctly named. The characters of globose fruit, and very hispid 
or woolly styles seem to have been completely overlooked. 
glandular development and mere compound serration are not 
cient nor even neces sary to distinguish specimens from Rf.

A spent n at Kew, collected by Léman_ (in France ?), has the 
petioles pulicaeiih at the base, but only slightly comrade The 
leaflets, which are somewhat narrowed below, are t all 
strongly glandular on the teeth, not at all so on the midrib, but 
the nerves are all remarkably salient. The stipules are very little 
gland ciliated. The fruit is of medium size but ovoid. The 
sepals are remarkably hispid on the back, and quite erec e 
styles are very hispid. Except in the shape of the fruit (and 
there is only one and that does not look well formed) this specimen 
agrees remarkably with Déséglise’s description. 
Another specimen from Desvaux, labelled “ R. biserrata Mér., 
R. macrocarpa Desy.,” is very similar, but the teeth of the leaflets 
are quite eglandular, and the fruit is much larger.
