ness of this sort ; but, judging from the plants in the Horticultural Society’s 
Garden, and in the arboretum of Messrs. Loddiges, as well as from a very 
beautiful figure in Schmidt’s Baumzucht, we cannot but consider it as a 
variety, or race, of the black currant; but in this, as in similar cases, we 
have treated it as a species, in order to leave the reader free to form his 
own judgment on the subject. We have only indicated our opinion by 
putting the letter z in parentheses, between the generic and specific names. 
Varieties. 
# R. (n.) f. 2 grandiflorum Hort. has the flowers and racemes larger than 
those of the species. 
& R. (n.) f. 3 parviflorum Hort. has the flowers smaller, and the racemes

Identification. Dougl. in Hort. Trans., 7. p. 512.; Bot. 
Reg., 1263.; Hook. Fl. Bor. Amer., 1. p. 234.; Don’s 
Mill., 3. p. 190.

Spec. Char., Sc. Leaves small, cordate, 
lobed, serrated, clothed with glandular pu- 
bescence, glabrous, glaucous, full of white 
glands above. Racemes pendulous, rather 
capitate. Bracteas ovate, adpressed to 
the germens, which are glabrous. Flowers 
nearly sessile, cylindrical, rather angular. 
Calycine segments small, reflexed. (Don’s 
Mill., iti. p. 190.) In its small foliage, and 
few-flowered racemes, this species resem- 
bles the gooseberry tribe; but it has not 
thorns. The flowers are rather large and 
white, with a slight tinge of green, and are 
rather downy. White waxy dots like scales 
cover the upper surface of the leaf; whence eS 
the specific name. A native of North-west America, on the banks of the 
Columbia, and its southern tributary streams, from the Great Falls to the
