ORDER XII.— GROSSULACE^, Mirb. Lindl. Nat. Syst. p. 26. 



THE CURRANT TRIBE. 



Shrubs, unarmed or thorny, arranged under 5 genera fSpach.J containing, 

 according to DC. pr. (1828), 53 species, of which 49 inhabit N. America ; 

 6 Siberia ; 5 Europe ; 2 Caucasus ; 1 Syria ; 1 1 Mexico, Chili and Peru ; 

 and 1 the vicinity of the Straits of Magellan. Three of these are common 

 to several countries, and 1 unknown, as to its native place. Six or more 

 have since been added from N. America, and 4 from the Himalayas. To 

 this order belong Ribes Grossularia, L. (Gooseberry) ; R. rubrum, L. (Red 

 Currant) ; and R. nigrum, L. (Black Currant.) Their refreshing flavour is 

 well known, whereas the fruit of the other species is unpleasantly acrid.
