12. R. vilUcaulis (Koehl.) ; st. arched or prostrate hairy, 
prickles unequal slender straight numerous, 1. quinate, leaflets 
oval or roundish cuspidate soft shining hoary and whitish be- 
neath, lowermost pair stalked, panicle leafy compound with di- 
varicating branches. — St. nearly prostrate, shaggy. Prickles very 
unequal. — I include under this name the following plants which 
are considered as species in the Rubi Germanici. — as. vilUcaulis ; 
leaflets roundish slightly narrowed below white beneath, panicle 
with numerous long slender straight prickles its branches few- 
flowered, t. 17. — /3. argenteus; leaflets round ish-obovate white 
beneath, panicles with numerous long thicker straight prickles 
branches few-flowered, t. 19- — y. sylvaticus; leaflets cordate- 
ovate pale green beneath, panicles with small slender prickles 
branches short patent few-flowered, t. 15. — ^.tenuis; leaflets 
roundish acute scarcely cuspidate thin pilose above pale green 
and hairy beneath, prickles not very unequal slightly deflexed, 
panicles with few slender prickles and short few-flowered rather 
distant branches. This does not appear to be figured in the 
Rubi Germ. The lower leaflets are frequently combined with 
the intermediate pair but when separate they have short stalks.

and hairy beneath, prickles very unequal deflexed, panicles with 
few slender prickles and short few-flowered branches. 16. —
