Ribes divaricatum var. parishii
PARISH'S GOOSEBERRY


Higher Taxonomy
Family: GrossulariaceaeView Description 
Common Name: GOOSEBERRY FAMILY
Habit: Shrub, generally < 4 m. Stem: generally erect; nodal spines 0--9; internodal bristles generally 0; twigs generally hairy, generally glandular. Leaf: simple, alternate, generally clustered on short, lateral branchlets, petioled, generally deciduous; blade generally palmately 3--5-lobed, generally thin, generally dentate or serrate, base generally cordate. Inflorescence: raceme, axillary, generally pendent, 1--25-flowered; pedicel generally not jointed to ovary, generally hairy or glandular; bract generally green. Flower: bisexual, radial; hypanthium tube exceeding ovary; sepals generally 5, generally spreading; petals generally 5, generally < sepals, generally flat; stamens generally 5, alternate petals, generally inserted at level of petals (hypanthium top), anthers generally free, generally +- not exceeding petals, generally glabrous, tips generally rounded; ovary inferior, chamber 1, ovules many, styles generally 2, generally fused except at tip, generally glabrous. Fruit: berry.
Genera In Family: 1 genus, 120 species: northern hemisphere, temperate South America. Some cultivated as food, ornamental. Note: Hypanthium data refer to part above ovary; statements about ovary hairs actually refer to the hypanthium around the ovary. At one time included in Saxifragaceae.
Unabridged Note: The family name Grossulariaceae has been conserved, evidently because the genus name on which it is based, Grossularia, is illegitimate.

Ribes divaricatum Douglas var. parishii (A. Heller) Jeps.
NATIVE
Habit: Plant < 3 m. Flower: hypanthium 3--4 mm; petals 2--3 mm, pink or red; filaments 3--5 mm; styles 8--11 mm.
Ecology: Moist woodland; Elevation: 60--310 m. Bioregional Distribution: e SCo, SnGb. Flowering Time: Mar--Apr Note: Possibly extinct.
Unabridged Note: From Misa Ward, CNPS: "Possibly extinct; last documented in 1980 from two plants at Whittier Narrows Nature Center. Known from fewer than five historical occurrences; these extirpated by urbanization. Field surveys needed." See Rhodora 87:259--260 for taxonomic treatment.

All markers link to CCH specimen records. The original determination is shown in the popup window.
Blue markers indicate specimens that map to one of the expected Jepson geographic subdivisions (see left map). Purple markers indicate specimens collected from a garden, greenhouse, or other non-wild location.
Yellow markers indicate records that may provide evidence for eFlora range revision or may have georeferencing or identification issues.
