Thank you Dr Singh. I will go look at the young shoots today and get some pictures. They are just beginning to flower so the floering season overlaps. I will carry a ruler and measure the leaves/petals as well. Would you say from the pictures that these prickles we have are strongly hooked? I have no reference for the straight ones. Do we have photos of R. moschata prickles?
I see the rachis and petiole are pubescent in the pictures but leaves look glabrous underneath but I will have a closer look today keeping these keys in mind. Thank you once again for taking the time for a detailed comparison.
