From rtt6, red in Celtic ; in reference to the colour of the fruit in some of the species. Gen. Char. Calyx flattish at the bottom, 5-cleft. Petals 5. Stamens numerous, inserted in the calyx along with the petals. Carpels or Achenia numerous, fleshy, disposed in a head upon an elevated torus. Styles lateral, near the apex of the carpel. {Don's Mill.) Leaves compound, digitate, pinnate or lobed, stipulate, deciduous or sub- evtrgreen; with the leaflets usually stalked. Flowers white or pink, in terminal racemes. Fruit edible. Shrubs, deciduous, subligneous, with prickly stems ; for the most part pro- strate, but a few of them growing upright. Some of thera, such as iJ. fruti- cosns, may be considered as sub-evergeen, as they retain the greater part of their leaves in a green state through the winter. All the kinds popularly called brambles may Ije considered as gigantic strawberry plants; and all their shoots are used by thatchers, and makers of beehives, straw mats, &c. No less than 48 supposed species of the genus are described and figured in the Subi Germanici of Weihe and Nees von Esenbeck. The number of species in English Botany is, in Dr. Lindley's Synopsis of the British Flora, 21 ; which, he says, may be reduced to 5, or possibly to 2, exclusive of the her- baceous species. In Don's Miller, 147 are given as the total number described by botanists. We
