Leaves distant, deciduous;A///;M/e5 subulate, quickly falling off; petioles downy ornaked; leajiets 3 or 5, oblong, or ovato-lanceolate,naked, simply crenato-serrate, above shining, darkgreen, beneath paler. Flowers very numerous, small,white; hractece deciduous; stalks smooth ; fruit scarlet,the size and form of that of Cratcegus oxyacantha;styles 15, hairy, very little exserted; disk flat; sepalsdeciduous ; pericarps 2-3 roundish, naked, very shining. There can be no stronger evidence of the very im-perfect knowledge of Linnaeus in Asiatic Roses than hisciting this, which is very well figured in Petiver, to sodissimilar a plant as R. indica. This error has beencontinued by Willdenow, who probably, on that ac-count, considered Linnaeuss R. indica to be somethingvAih. which he was unacqaainted. It has a near affinity to R. Banksice, from which itsprickly stem, in a young state slightly downy, and dif-ferently shaped leaflets, sufficiently distinguish it. .^„l^ /)
