Identification comments
Keyed to rotundifolia, but both Will Cook and I thought it looked weird in the field. Leaves are fairly narrow, acute-tipped, dark green, not particularly shiny, with veins impressed above (and protruding below), with scabrous margin of irregular tooth-like projections. Branches brittle, sparsely armed with strong straight dark prickles. "Petals" recurving, green, antherish whitish, flowers fell off easily.
