I have seen no agen erh pear or named by Lejeune, but, 
judging fom foreign specimens by other collectors, this species 
appears to be a luxuriant sdutstulals form of R. dumalis, with ors 
young shoots and other parts often ee tinted with red. 
sige are large, more biserrate, and more glandular toothed ieik 
n dumalis, with the petiole more daidelae: and more often hairy. 
The flowers are almost always in considerable clusters, and very 
rarely a gland or two may be found on the peduncles. The fruit is 
rather large, and varies a good deal in shape, so that the author's 
“ovoid” and Déséglise’s “round” are both covered. The sepals 
are usually well developed and strongly dpipatidioulate, The 
author and Déséglise describe them as “very glandular” 
“glandular,” presumably on the back. Mr. Baker also lays stress 
on this point in his Monograph, p. 226. To test the point I 
examined thirty-two specimens in Déséglise’ s herbarium, reject- 
ing any at all doubtfully named. Of these, eighteen had the 
sepals almost eglandular, even on the edge; eight were more 
of the six with glands on the back, two or three showed only 
minute glands like the micro-glands ben eal the leaves referred 
on p. 5. In spite of this, there is no other character in 
“as ong s description by which the plant could be distinguished

There are three British examples in herb. Déséglise. One 
collected by Briggs near Plymouth and labelled by him “ ? biser- 
rata ? vinacea” has medium-sized narrow leaflets, not very strongly

Sabadee leaflets, less doubly serrate, but otherwise it is similar to 
the Plymouth specimen, except that the sepals are glandular also 
on the backs, as much so
