the top. Peduncles long, gen. solitary. Teeth of leaflets 
deep, finely acuminate, directed forwards, with 
numerous glands. Prickles rare, straight, suddenly 
dilated at the base. Often resembling R. alpina in habit. 
Subfoliar glands often slightly stipitate. R. Berneti

*) Examples with glabr. leaflets (Lax in Wall.!) resemble R. montana.— 
It is necessary to separate from this species the following forms connected 
by Christ with R. abietina; R. distans Chr. ! Leaflets green on both sides 
glabr. or almost so underneath, more or less strongly haired above (!); prickles 
straight or almost so Resembling R. trachyphylla but the cal.-divisions re¬ 
flexed on the fr. Schaffh. (Hemmenthal.)— R. Gisleri Pug. Peduncles very 
long; styles glabr.; cal.-divisions remaining reflexed. Uri.— R. orophila 
(Gren.?) Chr. and R. Favratl Christ.! appear to us to be composed of 
various forms. R. abietina glaronensis Chr. ! appears to be allied to R. 
coriifolia or R. dumetorum. 
**) The following appear to be allied forms : R. Godetae Chr. (alpestris 
God. non Rap.) from Canton Neuchatel, and R, marginata Wallr. (tomen¬ 
tosa var. Rap.) from Saleve, this last has leaflets entirely glabr.. of a bluish 
green colour. 
***) Probably a collective species; the plant of the Jura, according to 
Favrat may be alpina-mollis. The forms which are rather more hairy differ 
from R. vestita in having more acute leaflets, glandular underneath, darker 
cor. &c.; the glabr. forms differ from R. salaevensis in a more compound 
toothing, subfoliar glands, &c.
