Ribes marshallii
Also called Marshall's Gooseberry
Ribes marshallii is a North American species of currant known by the common names Hupa gooseberry and Marshall's gooseberry. It is endemic to the Pacific Northwest's Klamath Mountains.
It is a shrub growing up to 2 metres (6+1⁄2 ft) tall. It produces arching stems 1 to 2 metres (3+1⁄2 to 6+1⁄2 ft) long which may root at the tip when it reaches moist substrate. Nodes on the stem bear three spines each up to 1 centimetre (3⁄8 in) long. The lightly hairy leaves are roughly 1–3 cm (1⁄2–1+1⁄4 in) across and divided into 3–5 widely toothed lobes. Glandular hairs occur on veins and leaf margins.
Ribes marshallii is endemic to the Klamath Mountains of southern Oregon and northern California. It grows in montane to subalpine coniferous forests.
