Spec. Char., §c. Leaves 3-lobed, serrated, 
beset with resinous glands beneath, as are 
also the bracteas. Racemes longer than

tive of Chili, on hills. Introduced in 1826. 
A shrub, growing 3 ft. or 4 ft. high, flowering in April and May. The leaves 
are shining, and of a yellowish green; and its short bunches of yellow 
flowers are produced in the axils of the leaves. The plant throws up 
suckers from the roots ; a circumstance which distinguishes it from almost 
every other species of the genus in British gardens. There is a plant in 
the Garden of the Horticultural Society, against a south wall, which 
blossoms freely every year, and appears quite hardy, but has not yet 
ripened fruit. The leaves, when rubbed, have an agreeable odour. 

2% 30 R. (P.) GLANDULO'sUM Ruiz et Pav. The glandular-calyxed red 
Currant.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves cordate, bluntly 3-lobed, doubly serrated, rugged. 
Racemes short. Calyx glandular, pubescent. A native of Chili, on

high ; introduced in 1820, and flowering in April and May. Evidently a 
variety of the preceding species.
