— Peduncles always straight. Fr. globular or ovoid 8 
7. Cor. of a bright purple-red. FI.-branches gen. unarmed. 
Leaflets 7—11, gen. oblong, thin, without glands under¬ 
neath, rarely with scattered glands (v. scabriuscula Chr., 
if the leaflets are, at the same time, almost orbicular); 
teeth of the leaflets almost acuminate, glandular; rarely 
simple and without glands (v. simplicidens). Stipules of 
the fl.-branches enlarged, with oblong auricles. Divisions 
of the cal. terminated by a rather enlarged appendage. 
Fr. gen. ovoid-oblong, rather obliquely narrowed to a 
neck at the top, sometimes (v. lagenaria Vill.) elongated, 
bottle-shaped, rarely (v. globosa Desv.) globular.—Yar. 
with glabr. and hispid-glandular (v. pyrenaica Gon.) 
peduncles, leaflets almost 3 times as small and at the 
same time with straight fr.-peduncles (v. parvifolia Favr.); 
also with geminate peduncles and branches covered 
with subulate often geminate prickles (v. aculeata Ser., 
adjecta D.*)—Mount, and subalp.; distrib. 6 
alpina L. 735. 
— Cor. as in the last. Fl.-branches with prickes. Leaflets 
5—7, oval, firmer than in the last, whitish-green under¬ 
neath and with scattered glands. Teeth, stipules and 
cal.-divisions as in the last, but fr. shorter and less 
distinctly narrowed at the top.—Engadine; Chr. 6 
reversa ? W. K. 736 
— Cor. pale rose or white. Fl -branches with prickles. Almost 
equally related to R. alpina and R. spinos.; leaflets 7—9, 
smaller and shorter than in R. alp.; teeth shorter, less 
glandular or almost without glands; stipules rather nar¬ 
rower than in R. alpina, but broader than in R. spinos. 
from which (the latter) it is distinguished easily by the 
red fr. slightly narrowed at the top, and borne on curved 
peduncles; by stems with fewer prickles, and by more- 
elongated leaflets, with teeth partly glandular. R. alpina- 
spinosissima; R. gentilis Koch.—Jura (Saleve, Mont 
Forel near Beaulmes, Chaumont, Ravellenfluh, Scharten- 
fluh, Ramsfluh). 6 . . . . 151 rubella Sm. 737. 
8(6). Leaflets small, 7—9, oval-orbicular, glabr., gen. 
simply toothed and not glandular underneath, rarely 
(b. Sirei Christ .) doubly toothed and with scattered 
glands underneath. Stipules narrow, suddenly widened 
towards the top, with lanceolate, diverging auricles. 
Peduncles gen. glabr. Peduncles white, rarely rather rose- 
coloured (v. rosea). Fr. globular, blackish at maturity.
