|discussion=<p>Fresh material of <i>Ribes americanum</i> does not have the skunklike odor of <i>R. hudsonianum</i> and <i>R. nigrum</i>. The bracts are much longer than the jointed pedicels. The leaves and bracts bear fimbriate processes on the proximal margins that may be remnants of adnate stipules.</p>
