ABSTRACT: The public record of Major Stephen H. Long’s 1819–1820 exploration of the American north-west, Account of an expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains, compiled by Edwin James, contains valuable contributions regarding the natural landscapes, native peoples and wildlife of a mostly unexplored region of the American west compiled from the notes of some of America’s foremost naturalists, and it includes the first descriptions of 67 new species. The original plan was to publish the Account in Philadelphia and London simultaneously, yet these two editions differ substantially in ways that are relevant to the taxonomic contributions in the work. It is generally assumed that the Philadelphia edition was published in early January 1823 and was available first, but little substantive evidence has been presented to support its priority over the London edition. Review of contemporary correspondence and periodicals indicates the Philadelphia edition was available and for sale on 31 December 1822, whereas the London edition was available in late February 1823. As previously assumed by most sources, the Philadelphia edition has priority of publication and is the authority for most species names.

This shrub is common in elevations of 4,800-10,500’, generally in partially to fully shaded areas. It may be confused with Ribes sp. A key characteristic of the plant is the peeling bark of the older stems, which helps with identification even in the winter. In the summer, the white flowers are arranged in corymbs, with exerted stamens. In winter, the browned flowers usually remain attached to the stems. Leaves are palmately lobed and conspicuously veined. This is an attractive shrub for shady gardens. The flowers are a valuable source of nectar for native pollinators, particularly bees, and provide good cover for birds. Some American Indian tribes made a pain-relieving poultice by boiling the roots and placing the warmed plant material on the affected site. KA Map adapted from Ackerfield, J.
