MACLOSKIE : REVISION OF FLORA PATAGONICA. 149 



E. VIRGATA Pers. Macl., p. 464. 



This species is figured in plate XV, but under a wrong name : Ber- 

 beris virgata R. & P. 



RIBES L. 



R. CUCULLATUM Hook, et Am. Macl., p. 465. 



Should be replaced by Ribes cuneifolium Ruiz et Pav. 



Macloskie has based his statement of the occurrence of R. cucullatum 

 in W. Patagonia on my determination of a Ribes brought home from that 

 region. The specimens in question actually belong, as Dr. J. Britton, 

 British Museum, has kindly shown me, to Ribes cuneifolium. D. 



R. CUNEIFOLIUM Ruiz & Pavon. Wedge-leaved Gooseberry. 



Unarmed. Leaves cuneiform, cut, trifid ; petioles not half as long. 

 Peduncles axillary, solitary, 2-3-flowered. Bracts 2 at base of each 

 flower. Berry pale-red ; shrub i m. high. 



Very common in W. Patagonia, usually occurring near the forest line; 

 for instance, by Lago Argentine, Lago Viedma, Lago San Martin, Rio 

 F6siles, at the height of about 800-900 m., by Lago Buenos Aires, etc.

 Not in our district. 



R. GLANDULOSUM Ruiz et Pav. Macl., p. 465.

 the leaves are glandular-punctulate underneath ; Pav.
