A NEW RUB US. 



By the Rev. W. B. Linton. 



Rubus durescens, n. sp. — Stem arcuate, five-angled, its sides 

 flat or slightly furrowed in the upper part, glabrous or with a few 

 scattered hairs, purple and dark brown, smooth, shining. Prickles, 

 on the angles, slender, declining, about twice the length of their 

 compressed bases. Leaves partially persistent, quinate-pedate, 

 thick, hard, close-textured, dull, dark brownish green ; upper 

 surface moderately plicate and rugose, glabrous ; under surface 

 hard, with prominent veins, dull yellowish green, with scanty 

 short stiff pubescence on the veins ; midrib prickly ; teeth mostly 

 medium-sized, shallow, a few larger, with their tips recurved. 

 Leaflets oblong-ovate, pointed, with subcordate base, the terminal 

 occasionally cordate-acuminate, often imbricate. Petioles pubescent 

 and prickly. Stipules linear-lanceolate, ciliate, glabrous on the 

 surface, erect-patent. Panicle rather short, ovate, compact, broad 

 in the upper part, with a few patent or subpatent corymbose 

 axillary branches, mostly exceeded by their leaves, and a broad and 

 somewhat compressed ultra- axillary top, the brauches of the upper 

 part often closely placed and parallel, patent and even divaricate 

 with interlacing inflorescence, the terminal pedicel quite short, and 

 exceeded by the uppermost side branches. Leaves ternate, ex- 

 cepting the upper leaf of the axillary part, which is simple ; leaflets 

 narrower than those of the barren stem, oblong-ovate with a point, 

 often lobate in their upper part, with subcordate base. Eachis
