Ribes lobbii
Also called Lobb's Gooseberry, Oregon Gooseberry, Pioneer Gooseberry, Sticky Gooseberry
Ribes lobbii (known commonly as gummy gooseberry, fuchsia-flowered gooseberry and pioneer gooseberry) is a shrubby, perennial dicot found on the western coast of North America.
R. lobbii prefers mesic to dry streambanks, rock outcrops, open woodlands and forests in the lowland and montane zones. It is more frequent in the drier Pacific portion of its range where it is often a characteristic plant, rather than in the wetter Cordilleran, where it can be locally rare. It thrives in the maritime to submaritime, cool mesothermal climates on very dry to moderately dry soils of moderate nitrogen content. It is sporadic or scattered in early-seral communities and open-canopy Douglas-fir forests on watersheds.
