Sect Char., 4c. Plants bearing crowded, nearly equal, prickles, or unarmed.
Bractless, rarely bracteate. Leaflets ovate or oblong. Sepals connivent,
permanent. Disk almost wanting. This section is essentially diflerent irom
the la st in habit, but in artificial characters they approach ven- nearly. It,
however, may be distinguished by the greater number ol leaflets; which
vary from 7 to 13, and even to 16, instead o f from 3 to /. I h e flowers
are also universally without bracteas ; except in the R. alpina, R. feabim,
R. Donidna, and, perhaps, R. marginata. These, having connivent permanent
sepals, cannot be confounded with th e preceding division ; nor, on
account of their disk, -with the following. There is no instance ol stipular
nrickles in the present tribe. The se|ials are entire, or nearly so, unless
