Rocky places, Canada, as far north as the Saskatchawan ! and Northern
States! to the mountains of Georgia! June-Aug.—Stem erect, 3-4 feet
high. Leaves pubescent beneath, cordate at the base. Peduncles and upper
part of the stem &c. densely clothed with purplish very clammy
glandular hairs. Cusps of the calyx as long as the segments, sometimes dilated.
Fruit yellowish, or red when mature, well-flavored, but many of the
carpels usually abortive.— Bose-flowering Baspberry.
2. B. Nutkanus (Mogino) : slightly hirsute with glandular hairs, naked below
; stem shrubby, flexuous ; leaves 5-lobed ; the lobes nearly equal, broad,
unequally and coarsely toothed; stipules somewhat adnate to the petiole and
united with each other ; peduncles rather few-flowered ; flowers very large;
sepals glandular but not hispid, with very long cusps, scarcely the length of
the broadly oval (white) petals.—Mogino, pi. Nutk. ic. ; Seringe, in DC.

Island of Michilimackinack, Nuttall! Shore of Lake Superior, rather abundant,
Dr. Pitcher ! Dr. Houghton ! June-July.—Resembles R. odoratus,
but readily distinguished by the characters pointed out : it is also more slender,
often 4 to 10 feet high'on the coast, but in the Rocky Mountains it
dwindles to 12—18 inches, according to Douglas, and Drummond. Fruit
red. Petals often crenulate or emarginate.— Specimens from the Rocky
Mountains wholly agree with Mr. Nuttall’s R. parviflorus, of which fine
specimens, with very large flowers, have been sent us by Dr. Houghton.
3. B. deliciosus (Torr.) : stem shrubby, branched, erect; the branches,
young leaves, and calyx tomentose-pubescent, not glandular; leaves reni-
form-orbicular, rugose, slightly 3-5-lobed, finely serrate-toothed; stipules
persistent; peduncle 1-7-flowered ; sepals oval-oblong, with a dilated acu-
mination, shorter than the (purple) oval petals.—Torr. ! in ann. lyc. New
York, 2. p. 196.
Rocky Mountains, in about lat. 41°, Dr. James !—Leaves about 2 inches
in diameter. Flowers smaller than in R. odoratus. Fruit, according to Dr.
James, large and delicious.
4. B. velutinus (Hook. & Am.) : stem shrubby, unarmed, erect, flexuous,
pubescent, naked at the base ; leaves large, deeply cordate, acutely 5-lobed,
serrate, reticulated, densely tomentose-pubescent, paler and velvety beneath
; stipules ovate, acuminate, silky ; corymbs few-flowered ; calyx velvety;
sepals obtuse, with a long cusp, shorter than the (white) corolla.

5. B. vitifolius (Cham. & Schlecht.): stem shrubby; branches aculeatepruinose,
puberulent; peduncles, calyx, and veins of the leaves aculeate
with straight weak and somewhat reflexed prickles; leaves 3-lobed,
unequally serrate, nearly glabrous; lobes acute, the lateral ones diverging’
the middle one longest; stipules setaceous, hairy; flowers terminal, on somewhat
corymbose branches ; sepals lanceolate, the apex produced into a very
long linear or dilated and somewhat foliaceous acumination, longer than the
obovate petals. Cham. Sp Schlecht. in Linntea, 2. p. 10.
St. Francisco, California, Chamisso.—No other collector seems to have
found this species. It is said to be canescent when young, and the filaments
equal the petals in length.
6. B. Chameemorus (Linn.) : dioecious; stem nearly herbaceous, creeping
at the base, simple, 1-flowered; leaves eordate-reniform, somewhat plicate
and rugose, 5-lohed, serrate ; the lobes short and rounded; stipules ovate, obtuse
; sepals ovate, obtuse, shorter than the spreading obovate (white) petals •
fruit red, very large.—Linn. ! fl. Lapp. p. 163, t. 5 ,f. 1, A spec. 1. p. 494 •

Chameemorus, but erroneously.
8. R. nivalis (Dougl.) : small, frutescent; leaves cordate, 3-lobed, sharply
toothed, glabrous, the petioles and veins of the. leaves armed with recurred
prickles; stipules ovate, acute; peduncles short, 2-flowered ; segments [of
the calyx?] lanceolate, hairy. “ Dougl. mss:’ ex Hook. 1. c.
On the high snowy ridges of the Rocky Mountains— Fruit red. Flowers
rec* Seeds few, large, and wrinkled. A low species, not more than 6 inches
high. Douglas, l. c.—Hooker has no specimen of this plant. Perhaps
it is a species of the succeeding section, with the leaflets confluent, which is
sometimes the case.
* * Leaves (pinnately or pedately) 3-5-folio late.
t Stems mostly herbaceous and annual (fruit usually of few grains).
9. B. arcticus (Linn.) : stem low, herbaceous, sometimes dioecious unarmed,
somewhat pubescent; mostly erect, 1- 2-flowered ; leaves trifoliolate •
