Rubus odoratus. £8 



vated situations, where it is sometimes abundant, but local. On the 

 Wissahickon creek, near this city, and about two or three miles 

 from Germantown it grows wild, and is there tolerably abundant. 

 In this situation the petals do not possess so vivid a hue as those of 

 plants raised in gardens, and these are likewise somewhat smaller. 

 Considerable difference occurs in the wild and cultivated plant, in 

 the length of the elongated terminations of the calix, some being 

 only a quarter of an inch long, while other specimens occur in which 

 they attain the length of three-quarters of an inch. 



The table represents a flowering specimen taken from the wild 

 plant, the size of nature. The leaves arc often much larger 

 than represented in the plate — but there are at the same time 

 many much smaller on the same plant.
