518 Account of some new Species of the Genus Ribes. 



Several undescribed species, from the same country as those 

 above noticed, are in a growing state in the Society's Garden, 

 but as no native dried specimens of them exist in this coun- 

 try, they cannot for the present be here noticed. Many 

 other important additions of the genus Ribes yet remain to 

 be introduced to our gardens from America, among which two 

 species of unrivalled beauty adorn the untrodden wilds of 

 Northern California, which we hope, ere many years, to see 

 as common in the gardens of England as R, sanguineum now 

 is ; and although as fruits they are precisely alike, being pe- 

 culiarly disagreeable, the splendour of their blossoms and 

 varied foliage may procure for them a distinguished place in 

 any garden.
