This species was described in "The Bulletin of the Torry 

 Club" for 1891, page 366, as follows: 



"Ascending, wand-like, entirely unarmed or with a very 

 few weak prickles above, glabrous throughout or the young- 

 er shoots scurfy pubescent. Stems one and one-half to four 

 meters long ; leaves long petioled, pedately 5-foliate or some 

 of those one the twigs 3-foliate; leaflets thin, oval, glabrous 

 on both sides, long-acuminate at the apex, mostly rounded 

 at the base, 12-15 cm. long, about 5 cm. wide, sharply, but 

 not deeply serrate; stock of the terminal leaflet 7-10 cm. 

 long ; inflorescence loosely racemose ; bracts linear-lanceolate ; 

 acuminate; fruit black, about 10 mm. long." 



"Nearest to R. villosus, but evidently a distinct species. 

 Curiously enough there is a leaf of this species glued down 

 on the sheet of R. Canadensis, L in herb Linn., and it ap- 

 pears to have been included in his description of that species 

 — the specimens furnished by Kalm."
