of our plant, and there are some other trifling differences ; 
but we do not doubt the identity of our species and his. 
Redouté says that his kamchatica, figured in Ventenat’s 
work many years ago, has now changed to ferox, which he 
consequently has published as the same. But this must 
surely be a mistake, as we can perceive no tendency in tie 
two to exhibit even intermediate appearances. 
Native of Kamtschatka, and introduced by M. Cels in 
1802. 
Shrub 3-5 feet high, loosely spreading: branches trailing, 
cottony, with biformed hairy prickles, those under the sti- 
pules falcate and distant, those upon the branch smaller, 
thickset bristleshaped, with thinly mingled bristles. Leaves 
wrinkled, opaque, thickset: stipules large, halved obversely 
ovate, hairy, curled at the edge, here and there beset with

tary, red  bractes elliptic, nearly naked ; peduncles naked, 
purple: tube of the calyx round, naked: leaflets of the 
calyx very narrowly triangular, furless on the outside, beset 
with glands, broader at the tip, longer than the petals: 
petals obversely cordate, tipped, ultimately flat. Disk raised, 
fleshy. Ovaries nearly naked: styles hairy, rather naked 
at the base, mass of ‘stigmas conic, naked. Fruit globular, 
furless, scarlet, waxen, shorter than the calycine leaflets.
