All the forms of this species are highly ornamental, from their fine, large, 
bright yellow flowers, which are produced in abundance; and their smooth, 
glossy, yellowish green leaves. The plants are, also, more truly ligneous, and 
of greater duration, than those of most other species of Ribes. Next to R. 
sanguineum, and its varieties, they merit a place in every collection.

% R. (a.) t. 1 fréctu nigro.— Berries changing from yellow to red, and 
finally acquiring a deep blackish purple colour. ~ 
& R. (a) 4.2 frictu hiteo.— Fruit yellow; always retaining the same 
colour. 
In habit, this species is more erect than R. adreum, and has the young 
wood more thinly clothed with leaves; its wholeappearance is also paler, during 
the early part of the season. The flowers are not more than half the size of 
R, aureum ; and have entire, not notched, petals. The fruit is about the size 
of the red currant, of an agreeable flavour, but possessing little acidity.
