 Son. But tlie only specimens I have seen are one, exactly 

 agreeing with the plate, from Kew, ticketed "Vancouver's Island, 

 Wood," and another, from the Willamette, in the same region, 

 collected by Mr. Kowell, It sliould be particularly looked for 

 in California, north of San Francisco Bay, and along the coast 

 to British Columbia. Perhaps the Califomian habitat is an

Summit of Trinity Moimtains, California, July, 1886, found 

 near lingering snow-drifts, by Mr. C. C. Marshall. This goose- 

 berry is in some sense intermediate between R. Mejisiesii and 

 R. Lobbii^ and the flowers are remarkably large and handsome, 

 even surpassing those of R. speciosM77i in all sa-\^e brilliancy of 

 color. 



31. Ribes amictum Greene, Pittonia, 1: 69. 1887.
