Ribes /ˈrbz/[5] is a genus of about 150 known species of flowering plants native throughout the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is the only genus in the family Grossulariaceae.

Description

Shrub like plants with marked diversity in strikingly diverse flowers and fruit.[6]

Taxonomy

Ribes is the single genus in the Saxifragales family Grossulariaceae, although once included in the broader circumscription of Saxifragaceae s.l., it is now positioned as a sister group to Saxifragaceae s.s..[7]

Subdivision

First treated on a worldwide basis in 1907,[8] the infrageneric classification has undergone many revisions,[9] and even in the era of molecular phylogenetics there has been contradictory evidence.[6] Although sometimes treated as two separate genera, Ribes and Grossularia (Berger 1924)[10], the consensus has been to consider it as a single genus, divided into a number of subgenera, the main ones of which are subgenus Ribes (currants) and subgenus Grossularia (gooseberries), further subdivided into sections.[9] Janczewski (1907) considered six subgenera and eleven sections.[8] Berger's twelve subgenera based on two distinct genera (see Senters & Soltis (2003) Table 1) have subsequently been demoted to sections.[7][6] Weigend (2007) elevated a number of sections to produce a taxonomy of seven subgenera; Ribes (sections Ribes, Heretiera, Berisia) Coreosma, Calobotrya (sections Calobotrya, Cerophyllum), Symphocalyx, Grossularioides, Grossularia, Parilla.[11][12]

Taxonomy, according to Berger, modified by Sinnott (1985):[7][6]

  • Subgenus Ribes L. (Currants) 8 sections
    • Section Berisia Spach (Alpine Currants)
    • Section Calobotrya (Spach) Jancz. (Ornamental Currants)
    • Section Coreosma (Spach) Jancz. (Black Currants)
    • Section Grossularioides ( Jancz.) Rehd. (Spiny, or Gooseberry-stemmed Currants)
    • Section Heritiera Jancz. (Dwarf or Skunk Currants)
    • Section Parilla Jancz. (Andine or South American Currants)
    • Section Ribes L. (Red Currants)
    • Section Symphocalyx Berland. (Golden Currants)
  • Subgenus Grossularia (Mill.) Pers. (Gooseberies) 4 sections
    • Section Grossularia(Mill.) Nutt.
    • Section Robsonia Berland.
    • Section Hesperia A.Berger
    • Section Lobbia A. Berger

Some authors continued to treat Hesperia and Lobbia as subgenera.[13][6] Early molecular studies suggested that subgenus Grossularia was actually embedded within subgenusRibes.[14] Analysis of combined molecular datasets confirms subgenus Grossularia as a monophyletic group, with two main lineages, sect. Grossularia and another clade consisting of glabrous gooseberies, including Hesperia, Lobbia and Robsonia. Other monophyletic groups identified were Calobotrya, Parilla, Symphocalyx and Berisia. However sections Ribes, Coreosma and Heritiera were not well supported. Consequently, there is insufficient resolution to justify further taxonomic revision.[6]

Species

About 150.[6][15]

Distribution and habitat

Ribes is widely distributed through the Northern Hemisphere, and also extending south in the mountainous areas of South America.[6]

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.[16]

Ecology

Currants are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species (see List of Lepidoptera that feed on currants).
