XXVI. ROSACEA: RO'SA, 327 
pale or bright red. Fruit round, naked, and crimson. 
The double-flowered variety is most common in gar- 
dens. An upright shrub, Native of most parts of 
Enrope, and a doubtful native of England. Height 
5 ft. to 6 ft. Flowers pale or bright red ; May and 
June. Fruit crimson ; ripe in September. 
A very desirable sort, on account of its fragrance, 
which resembles that of cinnamon. There is a semi- 
double variety ; and the single state is supposed to be 
identical with R. majalis below. Ys

frutetorum Bess., R. tadrica Bieb., and R. dahirica

§ iv. Pimpinellifolia Lindl. 
Sect. Char., &c. Plants bearing crowded, nearly equal, prickles, or unarmed. 
Bractless, rarely bracteate. Leaflets ovate or oblong. Sepals connivent, 
permanent. Disk almost wanting. This section is essentially different from | 
the last in habit, but in artificial characters they approach very nearly. It, 
however, may be distinguished by the greater number of leaflets; which 
vary from 7 to 13, and even to 15, instead of from 5to7. The flowers 
are also universally without bracteas ; except in the R. alpina, FR. Sabini, 
R. Donidna, and, perhaps, R. marginata. These, having connivent perma- 
nent sepals, cannot be confounded with the preceding division ; nor, on 
account of their disk, with the following. There is no instance of stipular 
prickles in the present tribe. The on are entire, or nearly so, unless
