of the petiole, jointed at the connexion with the flower. 
Sepals greenish. Petals shorter and narrower, and alter- 
nating with the sepals. Outer row of filaments longer 
than the petals, erubescent, giving to the flower its red- 
dish appearance: middle row short: innermost one with 
the filaments cohering so as to form a cup-like disk around 
the base ot the gynaphore, white, with the margin thick- 
ened and involute. Ovary sericeo-villous : styles club- 
shaped, red, horizontally spreading: stigmata capitate. 
Berry subglobose, reddish, Hairy, marked with six longi- 
tudinal lines (previous to maturity sub-hex-agonal) resem- 
bling in size and appearance the common red English 
gooseberry. 
This is a common but by no means showy species. 
The pulp of the berry has a pleasant sweet subaeid 
taste, which would no doubt be improved both in quantity 
and quality by cultivation. I have altered the specific 
designation, as the flower cannot be said to be red.
