RUBUS. 67 



downy with almost sessile glands, reflexed, pointed with a very short 

 mucro. 



I distinguish this large Bramble by its roundish sulcated stem, by 

 its small prickles, by its comparative baldness, by the fewness of its 

 setse and glands, and by its rounded naked leaves. These are not 

 quinate in any specimen I have seen. It seems to have some affinity 

 to the R. vulgaris /3. umbrosus of Weihe and Nees von Esenbeck ; 

 and, in the form of the leaflets, agrees pretty closely with their R. 

 fusco-ater, but differs in such other particulars as to render their con- 

 junction impossible.
