RIO 



RIbes, Linn. From Ribas, the name of an acid 

 plant mentioned by the Arabian physicians, 

 which is known to be Shewn Eibes. Linn. 5, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Grossulariaceas. This is a 

 valuable genus, and contains the. gooseberry 

 and currant, the uses of which every cottager 

 is familiar with ; and in addition to these 

 much-esteemed fruits, some of the species are 

 well suited for ornamenting shrubberies. The 

 most ornamental species are R. atropurpHnum, 

 aureum, sanguineum, and speciosum. All the 

 species of Ribes will grow in any soil, and in- 

 crease from cuttings, planted in autumn, or 

 early in spring. Synonymes: 1, R. ailrev/m
