Ribes (/ ˈ r aɪ b iː z /) [5] is a genus of about 200 known species of flowering plants, most of them native to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. [2] The species may be known as various kinds of currants, such as redcurrants, blackcurrants, and whitecurrants, or as gooseberries, and some are cultivated for their edible fruit or as ornamental plants.

[3] This hybrid was termed Ribes × culverwellii and was nearly sterile. [4]
