''Ribes'' is a genus of about 150 species of flowering plants native throughout the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is usually treated as the only genus in the family Grossulariaceae. Seven subgenera are recognized. Sometimes ''Ribes'' is instead included in the family Saxifragaceae. A few taxonomists place the gooseberry species in a separate genus of ''Grossularia''. ==Cultivation== The genus ''Ribes'' includes the edible currants (blackcurrant, redcurrant, white currant), gooseberry, and several hybrid varieties. It should not be confused with the dried currant used in cakes and puddings, which is a cultivar of small grape (Zante currant). It gives its name to the popular blackcurrant cordial Ribena. The genus also includes the group of ornamental plants collectively known as the flowering currants, for instance ''R. sanguineum''. There are restrictions on growing some ''Ribes'' species in some U.S. states, as they are the main alternate host for White Pine Blister Rust. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ribes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
