Hab. Throughout Canada, to lat. 5¥^. — This is, in many respects, allied to C. nigrumy of which Mr. 

 Nuttall suspected it to be a " permanent variety;" but its more copious, denser flowers, and especially the 

 lonn^ bractese and more tubular calyx, n-ill always distinguish it : the solitary pedicel, too, at the base of the 

 flower^talk, is wanting,

Hab. Banks of the Columbia and its southern tributary streams, from the Great Falls to the Rocky 

 Mountains, in gravelly or sandy soils. Douglas. — In the small foliage and few-coloxu*ed racemes^ this 

 resembles the Grossularia-XxWie ; but it is r^uite destitute of thorns or aculei. The Jiowers are rather large, 

 white, with a slight tluge of green, slightly downy, Wliite waxy dots, like scales, clothe the upper-side of 

 the leaf, whence the specific name.

 in partially shaded places towards the sources of the Columbia; also on the summits of the hills near the Spokan 

 and Kettle Falls, at an elevation of 8000 feet above the sea. Douglas. — A very fine and remarkable species.
