|discussion=<p>All parts of <i>Ribes viscosissimum</i> are very fragrant. Its leaves are thick and rough. Plants with glabrous or sparsely stipitate-glandular ovaries have been recognized as <i></i></i>var.<i><i> hallii</i> and are found only in California and Oregon. Plants with strongly stipitate-glandular and softly pubescent ovaries are var. viscosissimum and are more widespread. W. C. Martin and C. R. Hutchins (1980) indicated that <i>R. viscosissimum</i> is to be expected in New Mexico; no occurrence there has been confirmed.</p>
