COMPILATIONS 
Under this head it is our intention to publish each month, 
or as often as space may permit, either entire reprints or synop- 
ses of articles which appear in journals not accessible to those 
who have limited library facilities. Other botanists are cord- 
ially invited to contribute, both by sending material for this de- 
partment, or by pointing out where it may be obtained. 
In Bull. Acad. Cracovie, January, 1906, Dr. Edward Jan- 
ezewski, of Krakau, Austria-Hungary, published two new spe- 
cies of Rzbes from California, described as follows, the originals 
in Latin: 
~. Ribes Santa Luciae Jancz.1.c. 9 [reprint]. ‘Shrub prob- 
ably stout: young branches puberulent; leaves 3-5-lobed, cordate 
at base, puberulent beneath; racemes medium sized (6cm.) 20- 
flowered; bracts elliptical, red, bractlets nearly obsolete; flowers 
pedicelled, pubescent, hypocrateriform? red? receptacle tubular, 
sepals a little longer than the receptacle, petals subspatulate, 
stamens equaling the petals, anthers roundish, foveola nectari- 
ali munitis, style bifid at the apex, the anthers barely surpassing 
it, ovary puberulent and glandular; berry with scattered stipi- 
tate glands.— Western North America: California (Santa Lucia 
mountains).—Fowers in anthesis and mature fruit unknown, 
on account of which our description is imperfect.—(Barber, June 
16, 1899, in our herbarium). 
“A species closely related to R. sanguineum and R. gluti- 
nosum, but easily distinguished by the nectar bearing anthers.” 
Ribes Hallit Jancz.1.¢. “Shrub, probably small: branch- 
lets hornotinis pubescent and glandular-setulose; leaves round- 
ish or subreniform, sublobed, the lobes short, obtuse, the base 
cordate, subpubescent and glandular; racemes corymbose, 5 cm. 
- long, few floweted (4-8), bracts conspicuous, green, lanceolate, 
pedicels elongated; flowers large, campanulate, pubescent, green- 
ish, the margins reddish, glandless, receptacle subcampanulate, 
sepals subacute, petals white, somewhat shell-shaped, broad, sta-
