XXXII. GROSSULA‘CEZ: RI‘BES. 479 
Flowers more or less pedicellate. Bracteas obtuse, tomentose, much shorter 
than the pedicels. Sepals roundish-cuneated. Petals oblong. Styles bifid. 
Berries glabrous, globose, and in colour and taste resembling those of 2. rt- 
brum, (Don’s Mil.) An upright shrub. North of England, in woods near 
Richmond in Yorkshire, and Piersbridge and Gainford in Durham. Height 
4 ft. to 6 ft. Flowers greenish yellow; April and May. Fruit red; ripe 
in July. 
The tree currant affords a fruit rather smaller, and more acrid, than the 
common red currant; but by crossing and cultivation it might, no doubt, be 
greatly improved; and, from its comparatively tree-like habits, might be a 
more convenient fruit shrub in respect to the crops around it.

The long racemes of flowers, the vigorous growth of the shoots, the large 
leaves, and the luxuriant habit of the plant, altogether render this a very orna- 
mental sort. From the luxuriance of the flowers and leaves, and of the plant 
generally, fruit is seldom produced ; and, when it appears, it is generally of 
small size. On account of the gracefulness of the long drooping racemes of 
flowers, it well deserves a place in collections.
