156 EOSACEiE, (rose FAMILY.) 



Prince) is a coarser or larger plant, perhaps a distinct species, the flowers more 

 inclined to be polygamo-dioecious, the villoiif hairs of the scape and pedicels 

 widely spreading, as in F. elatior and F. collina, which it seems to represent in 

 this country. — Common in richer soil, from W. New York to Illinois and be- 

 yond the Rocky Mountains. The supposed original of Hovey's Seedling, Bos- 

 ton Pine, and other cultivated varieties. 



2. r. v6sca, L. Achenia superficial on the glabrous conical or hemispherical 

 fruiting 'receptacle (not sunk in pits) ; calyx remaining spreading or reflexed ; 

 hairs on the scape mostly widely spreading, on the pedicels appressed ; leaflets 

 thin, even the upper face strongly marked by the veins. — Fields and rocky 

 places: common; certainly indigenous northward. (Eu.) 



3. F. Indica, L. (or Duche'snea fi-agarioides, Smith), — which differs from 

 the true Strawberries in having leafy runners, a calyx mth incised leafy bract- 

 lets larger than the se])a.h, yellow petals, and insipid fruit, — has sparingly estab- 

 lished itself in copses around Philadelphia {Charles E. Smith, &c.), and in the 

 Southern States. (Adv. from Ind.) 



13. DALIBARDA, L. Dalibaeda. 



Calyx deeply 5 - 6-parted, 3 of the divisions larger and toothed. Petals 5, 

 ; sessile, deciduous. Stamens many. Ovaries 5- 10, becoming nearly dry seed- 

 like drupes ; styles terminal, deciduous. — Low perennials, with creeping and 

 densely tufted stems or rootstocks, and roundish-heart-shaped crenate leaves on 

 slender petioles. Flowers 1 or 2, white, on scape-like peduncles. (Named in 

 honor of Thomas Dalibard, a French botanist of the time of Linnaeus. ) 



1 . D. ripens, L. Downy ; sepals spreading in the flower, converging and 

 enclosing the fruit. — Wooded banks : common northward. June - Aug. — 

 In aspect and foliage resembling a stemless Violet. 



14. EXJBUS, Tourn. Beamele. 



Calyx 5-parted, without bractlets. Petals 5, deciduous. Stamens numerous. 

 Achenia usually many, collected on a spongy or succulent receptacle, becoming 

 small drupes : styles nearly terminal. — Perennial herbs, or somewhat shrubby 

 plants, with white (rarely reddish) flowers, and edible fruit. (The Roman 

 name, kindred with ruber, red. ) 



§ 1. RASPBERRY. Fruit, or collective mass of drupes, falling off whole from the 



dry receptacle lolren ripe, or of few grains which fall separately. 



* Leaves simple : flowers large : prickles none : fruit and receptacle flat and broad. 



1. R. odoritus, L. (PuKPLE Flowehing-Raspeerey.) Stem shrubby 

 (3° -5° high); branches, stalks, and cali/x bristly icith glandular clammy hairs; 

 leaves 3 - 5-Iobed, the lobes pointed and minutely toothed, the middle one pro- 

 longed ; peduncles many -flowered ; calyx-lobes tipped with a long narrow ap- 

 pendage ; petals rounded, purple rose-color ; fruit reddish. — Dells, &c. : common 

 northward. June- Aug. — Flowers showy, 2' broad. 



2. E. Nutk&nus, Mopino. (White F.) Glandular, scarcely bristly; 

 leaves almost equally 5-lobed, coarsely toothed ; peduncles few-flowored ; petals 

 ucal, white. (R. parviflbrus, Nutt.) — Upper Michigan, and westward.
