differs in no respect from our European R. rubrum: and it is so abundant in North America, that it must

Hab. North-West coast of America, at the confluence of the Columbia with the ocean. Dr. Scouler.
Douglas.—This is a very remarkable species, with leaves nearly as large as, and resembling those of Acer
Pseudo-platanus: these, as well as the fructified racemes, have a very strong resemblance to the R. macrobotrys
of Ruiz, et Pav., FI. Per. t. 232: but the flowers are widely different.

Drummond. Douglas. (3. Mountains of the Columbia, above the Kettle Falls. Douglas.—Dr. Richardson
is quite correct in separating this from R. nigrum, to which its fruit, and the peculiar odour of the
plant, are very similar. The flowers are much smaller, whiter, with a shorter tube, and with more erect,
and, except in the var. /3., very downy, narrower segments.
