Ribes bracteosum, the stink currant, [1] is a species of currant native to western coastal North America from southeastern Alaska to Mendocino County in California. [2] [3]

R. bracteosum is a deciduous shrub, without thorns, growing to 3 metres (10 feet) tall. The leaves are 5–20 centimetres (2–8 inches) across, palmately lobed with 5 or 7 lobes. The flowers are produced in spring after the leaves emerge, on racemes 15–30 cm (6–12 in) long containing 20–40 flowers; each flower is 5–10 millimetres (31638 inch) in diameter, with five white or greenish-tinged petals. The fruit, born in clusters, is dark blue with a whitish bloom, edible but sometimes unpleasant. [4] Its habitats include stream banks, moist woods, shorelines and thickets. [4]
