R. gratissima. Erect, much branched, 4-6 ft. high, well-armed with long straight rather weak prickles of which, on vigorous growing shoots only, two very long ones are infrastipular: foliage thinnish, bright green, glandular, very fragrant, the rachis decidedly prickly beneath and, with the stalklets, stipulates and calyx-lobes very minutely velvety-tomentose: stipules not glandular, those of the flowering branchlets entire, of the growing shoots deeply and closely serrate-incied: leaflets 5-7, ovate, acute, 11/2-3/4 in. long, regularly simply or rather deeply serrate, the teeth somewhat falcate: fl. 3 or more in a corymb, 1-1 1/2 in. broad: calyx-tube globose; lobes with foliaceous tips.-Borders of wet meadows and about springy places in the mountains of Kern Co., A shrub with the habit ofR. Californica, but strikingly unlike any forms of that species in that the almost glabrous thin foliage is of a bright sweetbriar green, with much of the glandular indument and fragrance of that species. June, July.
