Leaves of vari- ous forms, smooth- lobes deeply ser- rated. Berries few, late, and round in shape. Racemes naked. AH 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. sanguineam, and its varieties, they merit a place in every collection. m 44.
