Or. Rosàce(B. An extensive and interesting
genus of plants. The shrubby kinds of Bramble
grow best in a rich loam ; and are readily increased

The herbaceous species thrive best in peat soil,
and are likewise propagated by suckers. The
well known and much-esteemed Raspberry is the
fruit of RUhits ìdmus and its garden varieties.
The fruit of R. Chamcemòrus is acid, and pleasant
to the taste. It is known by the name of
Cloudberry, from the plants being found in
high situations. The Scottish Highlanders and
Laplanders esteem it one of their most grateful
and useful fruits, more especially on account of
its long duration. Synonymes : 1, R. pistil'
