Ribes /ˈraɪbiːz/[4] is a genus of about 150 known species[5] of flowering plants native throughout the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is usually treated as the only genus in the family Grossulariaceae, but a few taxonomists place the gooseberry species in a separate genus of Grossularia.
Sometimes Ribes is instead included in the family Saxifragaceae.

Cultivation





Ribes speciosum (fuchsia-flowered gooseberry)


The genus Ribes includes the edible currants (blackcurrant, redcurrant, white currant), the gooseberry, and several hybrid varieties. It should not be confused with the dried currant used in cakes and puddings, which is a small-fruited cultivar of grape (Zante currant). Ribes gives its name to the popular blackcurrant cordial Ribena.


The genus also includes the group of ornamental plants collectively known as the flowering currants, for instance R. sanguineum.


There are restrictions on growing some Ribes species in some U.S. states, as they are the main alternate host for white pine blister rust.



Historical use


Blackfoot Indians used blackcurrant root (Ribes hudsonianum) for the treatment of kidney diseases and menstrual and menopausal problems. Cree Indians used the fruit of Ribes glandulosum as a fertility enhancer to assist women in becoming pregnant.[6]



Ecology


Currants are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species.
