 Ribes Navadaensis. — Kellogg. Stem and branches glab- 

 rous, the membranous purple bark of the older branches flakes 

 and warps off like the nine-bark bush, or Spiraea opiilifolia. 

 Leaves about as long as the racemes, cordate, 3 to 5-lobed, 

 doubly serrate, pubescent above and below; (neither glandular 

 nor viscid), petioles puberulent and sparsely glandular; base 

 somewhat expanded, ciliate; racemes from the same buds as the 

 leaves, minutely puberulent and glandular; bracts red, like the 

 flowers, lanceolate, acute, numerous; calyx globose campanulate, 

 border expanding, petals roundish, shorter than the segments of 

 the calyx or sub-equal, pedicels very short. 



""^ Fruit globose, glands few, black, with a dense bloom, pulpy 

 and very sweet. 



The following- remarks occur just before the description of this species: ' 'Dr. 

 Kellogg also exhibited a complete drawing of a species of wild Black Mountain 

 Currant, together with specimens of the bush and ripe fruit. The fruit is verj' 

 sweet and pulpy, and by a little culture would undoubtedly improve in everj^ 

 respect. The fruit is large, black, covered with a dense bloom, and the bunch 

 appears to yield bountifully." ' ' At the bottom of the colored drawing of this spe- 

 cies, made by Dr. Kellogg, and preserved in the l;erbarium of the California 

 Academy, is written: "From a specimen furnished by Mr. Garvett of Placer- 

 ville."
