Spec. Char., §c. Shoots long, tender. Branches 
pale brown, tomentose, scarcely prickly. Leaflets 
3—9, elliptical-lanceolate, tomentose beneath. 
Stipules hardly attached to the petiole, bristle- 
like-fringed. Flowers terminal, mostly solitary, 
white. Peduncles and calyxes tomentose. (Dec. 
Prod.) Deciduous, branchy. Nepal and China. 
Height 3 ft. to 4 ft. Introd. 1818. Flowers 
white; June and July. Fruit orange red; ripe 
in October. 
Seringe seems to consider this as a variety of 
R. bracteata. The flowers are in corymbs, sur- 
rounded by three or four approximate leaves. The 
piants are rather tender, and succeed best against a y 
wall, where they flower magnificently. Not com- aR Ap iediesthon

Sect. Char, Plants setigerous or unarmed, bracteate. Leaflets lanceolate 
glandless. Disk thin, never thickened. This section is distinguished by its 
long lanceolate leaflets without glands, its upright shoots, and compact habit. 
Flowers red, never solitary, except by abortion, and always supported by 
bracteas. Fruit round, small, red (soon losing its long narrow sepals), and 
with small, smooth, shining carpcls. The shoots are usually setigerous next 
the ground ; but rarely so towards the apex, except in one or two instances. 
R. alpina and R. acicularis, of the following division, sometimes have brac- 
teas; but their sepals never fall off till the fruit is decayed. Sepals simple, 
entire, or nearly so, unless when mentioned otherwise. (Don’s Mill.) — 
Plants of most of the species are in cultivation in British gardens. De- 
ciduous rambling bushes; natives of Continental Europe and North 
America, and some of them of Britain. 
A. Species Natives of North America.
