Grossularia (from grossulus, a small fig, from the resemblance of the fruit). Saxifragaceae. An old name for the gooseberries recently (N. Amer. Fl. 22, pt. 3. 1908) reinstated by Coville and Britton as a genus coordinate with Ribes, the currants. As distinguished from Ribes, Grossularia is defined by the flowers having an evident hypanthium or cup-shaped receptacle, the pedicels not jointed and the fruit not disarticulating, different disposition of bractlets on the pedicel, and the plants bearing spines at the nodes. Under this disposition, the English gooseberry becomes G. reclinata, Mill, or G. uvacrispa, Mill., and the native gooseberry of the Downing type is G. hirtella, Spach. See Ribes. L. H. B.
