About

Ribes colandina is a species of currant found only in Peru. Ribes colandina differs from Ribes andicola in uniformly dark red flowers (petals red, not orange-yellow as in R. andicola), black instead of yellow fruits and wider, more deeply lobed leaves.

Where it grows

La Libertad, Cajamarca Department, Amazonas Department, Lambayeque Department and Piura Department. This new species replaces R. andicola south of the Ecuadorean border and appears to be widespread in Piura, Lambayeque, Cajamarca and La Libertad. Ancash Region does not harbour this species, where it is replaced by R. viscosum.
