JV.B.- — The anomalous R. orthodados A. Ley, though in

rooting, glabrous or very thinly hairy, often much branched. 
All mature Its. distinctly stalked, strigose above (except in

often densely prickly. Sep. externally grey or whitish, reflexed 
in fr. (except in R. carpinifolius). Without bloom. In a few 
instances slightly glandular in pan. and even very rarely in st., 
but normally eglandular.
