R wri ery rather small. Flowers 
rose. Fruit subglobose. (There is a British speci- 
men in herb. Déséglise, and two named 
Kew; but all three have hairy ta midribs and side nerves, 
which are not permissible, so I have ventured to exclude 
them. Bouller calls attention to similar plants on the Con- 
tinent, and says they belong to his RB. villosiuscula var. 
Beugesiaca a which may be the correct name of our 
British forms.)
