36. R. suaveolens. American Sweet-briar. Pursh n. 11. (“R. eglanteria americana; Andrews’s Roses, with a figure.”)—Fruit ovate. Flower-stalks, and prickly leafstalks, rough with glandular bristles. Stem smooth; its prickles long, slender, slightly curved. Leaflets roundishelliptical; downy above ; somewhat glandular beneath.— Native of North America. We received specimens from Pennsylvania, gathered by the Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg. Linnaeus cultivated this species at Upsal, and has preserved a branch, without name or description, in his herbarium. The plant differs from both the foregoing [Rosa rubiginosa and R. micrantha], in its long, slender, slightly curved, but by no means hooked, prickles, which often stand, two together, near, or close to, the base of the leaf stalks. The leaflets are of a broad roundish form; finely hairy above; loosely besprinkled with stalked glands, though not rusty, beneath. Flowers pink, small, often, but not always, folitary, nor are the segments of the calyx, as Mr. Pursh describes them, always simple or entire; some of them are pinnate. Fruit smooth, or somewhat prickly.
