Vernacular names
English: Wolf´s currant

Ribes wolfii is a North American species of currant known by the common names Wolf's currant[2] and Rothrock currant.[1] It is native to the western United States. The distribution is disjunct or discontinuous, with two distinct concentrations of populations separate by a gap of over 320 km (200 miles). One is in northern Idaho, northeastern Oregon, and southeastern Washington. The other is in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.[3] There is also a report of an isolated population south of the border in Chihuahua, Mexico.[4]

Ribes wolfii is a shrub up to 5 meters (almost 17 feet) tall, with cream-colored, pinkish or green pink flowers. Berries are black and reportedly sweet and tasty.[1][5]
