Hab. Throughout Canada, from Lake Huron (Dr. Todd) to the Saskatchawan. Dr. Richardson,
Drummond. Newfoundland. Mr. Cormack. Dry rocky shores on the Columbia River, North-West
America. Menzies, Douglas.—Flowers larger than those of R. Ideeus. Fruit round, with numerous small
acini, not highly flavoured. (Rich.) Dr. Torrey says that the fruit is red, very agreeably tasted, and called
the Red Raspberry. It seems to hold the place of R. Ideeus in our country.

Hab. Canada. Michaux. Quebec. Mrs. Sheppard. Lake Huron. Dr. Todd. Near the sources of the
Columbia. Douglas.—0. North-West coast of America; whence it has been introduced to the Garden of the
Horticultural Society of London.—Dr. Richardson observes of this, that the flowers resemble those of the
preceding species, and that the form of the leaves is scarcely different, but the branches and peduncles are
purple-glaucous and glabrous. Fruit roundish, black and dark purple, sweet and well-flavoured, known as
Wild Raspberry and Thimbleberry. ( Torrey.)

Hab. Banks of rivers and in low woods, in the Valley of the Columbia, North-West America. Douglas,
Dr. Scouler.—Habit of R. spectabilis, but differing remarkably in its copious aculei, broad stipules, much
acuminated calycine segments, white petals, and black fruit, which latter is well tasted.

5. R. Menziesii; caule procumbente terete aculeato glabro, ramis brevibus pubescenti-
tomentosis aculeatis, foliis 3-foliolatis, foliolis lato-ovatis sublobatis inaequaliter serratis brevi-
petiolulatis supra hirsutis subtus pallidioribus hirsutissimis, paniculis terminalibus paucifloris,
pedicellis calycibusque aculeatis, segmentis calycinis ovatis acutis mucronatis tomentosis

Hab. North-West coast of America. Menzies.—This appears to be a small procumbent species, having
red flowers, small shortly-petioled leaflets, which are exceedingly villous beneath, and very downy branches
and peduncles. Its nearest affinity is perhaps with R. spectabilis.

Hab. Between Lake Superior and Lake Winipeg. Dr. Richardson. Newfoundland. Mr. Cormack.—
Although more straggling in its growth and less aculeated than the R. suberectus of Europe, I do not see that
this differs in other particulars from it. The fruit, Dr. Richardson says, is dark purple.
7. R. villosus; aculeatus, caule glabro angulato, ramis junioribus foliis racemisque

Hab. Near Montreal. Mr. Cleghom. Lake Huron. Dr. Todd.—This is no less distinguished from all
the other Canadian species of Rubus by its copious clothing of down, mixed with glandular hairs, than by
its long simple racemes of flowers, with their large linear-oblong bractese, and long alternate and remote
pedicels. I possess specimens from the United States, sent me by Dr. Boott and Dr. Torrey; and the species
seems more universal in the south than in the north.
