Petals oblong. Styles bifid. Berries glabrous, globose, and in colour and taste resembling those of R. rii- brum. (Don's MM.) An upright shrub. North of England, in woods near Richmond in Yorkshire, and Piersbridge and Gainford in Durham. Height 4ft. to 6 ft. Flowers greenish yellow ; April and May. Fruit red; ripe in July. The tree currant affords a fruit rather smaller, and more acrid, than the common red currant; but by crossing and cultivation it might, no doubt, be greatly improved; and, from its comparatively tree-like habits, might be a more convenient fruit shrub in respect to the crops around it. jj 22.
