From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Family: Grossulariaceae
Group: Vascular Plant, Species
Scientific Name | Common Name | Summary |
---|---|---|
Ribes bracteosum | Stink Currant | Collections from throughout the region, though few on the northern mainland. PacNW endemic |
Ribes glandulosum | Skunk Currant | Four collections in ARCTOS from 2011 and 2012, two in Taku Inlet, one from the Juneau Icefield, and one from Dall Island. Yakobi Island record reported by Hall does not appear to be in ARCTOS or PacNW herbaria database. Additional records along the Stikine River just across the border. |
Ribes hudsonianum | Northern Black Currant | Although a number of Trailing Black Currant (Ribes laxiflorum) collections show up in an ARCTOS search for this taxon, it appears the only collections identified as this species from the region are near Skagway and Hyder. |
Ribes lacustre | Prickly Currant | Collections in ARCTOS from across much of the region, though they tend to be clustered a bit. Whether this reflects the distribution, or is merely an artifact of effort, is not clear. |
Ribes laxiflorum | Trailing Black Currant | Collections in ARCTOS from throughout the region (though none georeferenced from Chichagof Island, where it no doubt occurs). |
Ribes oxyacanthoides | Canada Gooseberry | Seems unlikely to occur, nearest records are from well inland in British Columbia. |
Ribes triste | Red Swamp Currant | Two Georeferenced collections in ARCTOS from upper Lynn Canal (Takhin Valley, and at Dyea). |
