Ribes himalayense Decaisne, 1. c. t. 77 (1844). — Janezewski in Bot. Jahrb. xxxvr. 



beibl. lxxxii. 51 (1905); in Mem. Soc;. Phys. Hist. Nat. Geneve, xxxv. 296 



(Monog. Groseill.) (1907). — Non R. himalense Royle. 



Decaisne unfortunately adopted Royle's name for this plant and cites him as the 



author, though it is evident from Royle's account (111. Bot. Himal. 225) that he intended 



to give a name to the Himalayan Gooseberry of which there is only one species known 



later called by Decaisne R, alpextrc. There may be doubt if Royle's name should be 



considered properly published and should supersede Decaisne's name for the Himalayan 



Gooseberry as it lacks a technical description, but it does not seem wise and is not 



in conformity with the Rules of Nomenclature to retain the name R. himalense, or R. 



himalayense as it is spelled on the plate, for the Himalayan Currant referred to R. 



rabrum by Hooker and other botanists, as it is clearly an incorrect appliration of Royle's 



name which may yet be taken up for the species generally known as R. aipe.stre Dene.
