Ribes

There are more than one kind of Ribes in the afforestation areas according to Environmental Dynamics Natural Screening Report
Ribes oxyacanthoides var. oxyacanthoides Bristly Gooseberry
Ribes americanum Wild Black Currant

Here are some of my notes to pay attention to - to sort them out.

American Black Currant ="bell-shaped flowers ... no prickly stems, and 6 or more flowers per cluster."
American Black Currant ="odd-looking stems (gray with brown woody wings), the glandular golden dots on its leaves, its black berries, and the structure of its flowers (long tubular calyx with petaloid lobes, non-exerted stamens, etc.)"
