torum Gaud.!—a. typica. Leaflets oval or oval-orbicular, 
gen. gray-hairy on both sides; teeth not deep, spread¬ 
ing.—b. affinis Ran. Leaflets oblong, often rather pointed 
at both ends, more faintly hairy; teeth more acute—c. 
nuda Grml. (scabrata Cre-p.?) The same, but entirely glabr. 
d. concinna Lagg. Pug . Leaflets of the typical form but 
not very hairy or almost glabr.; teeth deeper, directed 
forwards; styles almost or entirely glabr.—e. tirolensis 
Kern. Peduncles hispid-glandular; styles glabr.; sub- 
foliar glands rather more numerous.—f. Borreri Woods. 
Branches with scattered setaceous prickles.—Probably 
distrib., at least in western Switz. 6 
tomentella Lem. 755.*) 
— Peduncles hispid-glandular ..... 25 
25. Cal.-divisions reflexed on the fr., falling early . 26 
— Cal.-divisions spreading or erect on the fr., persisting 
at least till the fr. is coloured. (Styles hairy) . 20 
26. Styles glabr. Prickles bent in the form of a sickle, 
rarely almost straight. Cor. small, or of moderate size, 
white or pale rose-coloured ..... 27 
— Styles hairy. Prickles almost straight, gen. not numer¬ 
ous. Cor. large, bright rose-coloured, resembling 
that of R. gallica! Gen. rather low shrubs . . 2S 
27. Leaflets small, rather tough, shining, glabr. or almost 
so, elliptic. Branches thin, often reddish, flexible, the 
fl.-branches bearing prickles. R. liispanica Chr. p.—Folla- 
terres, Bovernier, Lower Wall. 6 . Pouzini Tratt. 756.**) 
— Leaflets fairly large, thin, hairy at least on the stronger 
nerves underneath, oval. Fl.-branches without prickles.

28. Leaflets glabr. on both sides, elliptic, acute or acu¬ 
minate (the small ones, except in the toothing, resem¬ 
bling those of R. canina); teeth acute or acuminate, 
spreading obliquely or directed forwards. Fr. oblong 
or ovoid, rarely globular.—Differing from the typical 
form of R. canina in its, gen. lower, growth; the stems 
*) The forms of R. abietina with glabr. peduncles (Friesii, Gisleri) 
differ in the widely-separated leaflets, of a bluish-gray underneath. 
**) Our form (var. subintrans Gren.) differs from that of the south of 
France. This latter has leaflets of which the lateral nerves are without glands; 
it does not differ much from the hispid forms, with glabr. styles, of R. canina 
but its prickles are more distinctly sickle-shaped, its teeth very deep and 
branches thin, flexible and coloured with red. 
***) R. salvanensis Delas. (Lussori Lagg. Pug.?) appears to be a 
form of R. micrantha with densely villous leaflets and subfoliar glands rather 
rare. —Comp, also R. tomentella tiroliensis, and R. abietina Gisleri.
