Northern Black Currant




Ribes hudsonianum
Grossulariaceae, gooseberry family
June 14 2013
Elfin Creek

June 16, 2014 i found a good patch of Ribes hudsonianum at Stony Creek
Black Currants

being alerted by the fragrance of their leaves when i walked through a patch.
elfin creek, May 30 2017

close to our property, May 30, 2017


 When not in fruit or blooming, Ribes hudsonianum is being distinguished from R. triste and R. glandulosum (this one i do not know it does grow elsewhere in the Yukon)
by the glands (2) on the underside of the leaves and the wooly veins (1)
