Flowers solitary or in twos or threes, 50-75 mm across. Sepals sometimes leaflike. Fruit usually globular, 1 cm or more in diameter. Illustration.

Rosa pisocarpa Gray
Shrub 1-2 M tall, the stems armed with straight, slender infrastipular prickles, or sometimes unarmed. Leaflets 5-7, oblong to ovate, simply serrate, hairy beneat, without marginal glands. Petioles shot, hairy; stipules slightly glandular-toothed, hairy. Flowers 20-30 mm across, usually in terminal cluster. Fruit small, subglobose, dark red with short neck, 7-9 mm wide. Illustration. Can be distinguished from coastal R. nutkana var. nutkana, with which it may grow, by its simply serrate leaf margins. Those of R. nutkana in British Columbia nearly always display biserrate margins.
Range: Southern British Columbia to California west of the Coast and Cascade Ranges, in swamps and moist thickets.
