5. Prickles similar or fairly so, relatively weak. Stipitate 
glands few or 0. Shoot cylindric, or angular, with flat 
faces, often pruin os e gen. glabr. or with scattered 
hairs. Lateral leaflets (in the quinate, and also the 
middle Is) sessile or very shortly stalked. Stipules 
rather broad, almost foliaceous. Seps erect or applied 
on the fr., rarely one or other or all reflexed. Drupels 
gen. not numerous, often partly or entirely sup¬ 
pressed, those which are fully developed large, swollen, 
often dull or indeed pruinose. — The Suberecti which 
have also subsessile lateral leaflets differ in the high- 
arched or almost erect shoots which are not pruinose 
at least at the top, angular-furrowed, entirely without 
stipitate glands, and in the, gen. quinate, Is green on 
both sides, and the seps bordered with white, and the stas 
not conniving after the emission of pollen.— Corylifolii 6 
— Prickles very unequal, sometimes also less unequal 
but then the larger ones feeble. Stipitate glands always 
very numerous, gen. long Shoots gen. cylindric. 
Lateral leaflets gen. distinctly stalked. Stipules linear. 
Seps, on the fr., almost always erect. Drupels as in the 
3 following groups, shining. Ls often ternate. —Glandulosi 
7 
— Prickles unequal, the large ones more or less vigorous, 
or prickles fairly equal and in this case the stipitate 
glands often rarer, but never entirely wanting. Shoots 
often angular. Lateral leaflets gen. distinctly stalked. 
Stipules linear. Seps, at least those of the lateral fls, 
gen. reflexed on the fr .—Subylandulosi . . 29 
— Prickles similar or almost so, often vigorous. Stipitate 
glands numerous, but no intermediate forms between 
the prickles and stip. glands. Stems angular. Lateral 
leaflets and stipules as in the last paragraph. Seps re¬ 
flexed on the fr., rarely only spreading. Ls gen. white- 
tomentose underneath.— Badulce .... 44 
— Prickles equal, gen. placed on the angles of the shoots. 
Stip. glands, also in the inflorescence, absolutely 
0 (only in K. Mercieri there are a few). Lateral leaflets 
distinctly stalked, only in some species, which have ls 
green underneath, they are almost sessile. Stipules and 
seps as in the last paragraph .... 46 
Corylifolii. 
6. Ls always green underneath! Shoots slender, always 
cylindric, bluish-pruinose, with weak, gen. fairly similar, 
prickles. Seps ere6t on the fr. Carps glabr. Drupels 
bluish-pruinose. Inflorescence short, with branches often
