Leaves 3- lobed, serrated, beset with resinous glands beneath, as are also the bracteas. Ra- cemes longer than theleaves, either drooping or erect. Bracteas cuneate-oblone, obtuse, at length reflexed. Calyx campanulate, yellow- ish. Berries oblong, hairy, black, and dotted. Petals small, yellow. (Jiorls Mill.) A sub-evergreen shrub. S75. h. (n.) punciitutt Chili, on hills. Height 3 ft. to 4 ft. Introduced in 1826. Flowers yellow : April and May. Fruit black ; ripe in July. The leaves are shining, and of a yellowish green, and, when rubbed, have an agreeable odour. The short close bunches of rich yellow flowers are pro- duced in the axils of the leaves. The plant throws up suckers from the roots : a circumstance which distinguishes it from almost every other species of the genus in British gardens. Dr. Lindley has given two figures of this species in the Botanical Register: one, t. 1658., of the wild plant, in which the spikes are pendulous, or nodding ; and the other, t. 1278., of'the cultivated plant, in which the spikes are erect. He observes that it is hardy enough to live in a dry border without protection, and that it is a rather pretty evergreen shrub. H. S. a 34. R. (n.) hetbro'trichum Meyer. The variable-haired Currant.
