The shrub Ribes lacustre is known by the common names prickly currant, black swamp gooseberry, and black gooseberry. [3] It is widely distributed in North America.
The shrub grows erect to spreading, .5–2 metres (1+1⁄2–6+1⁄2 feet). Clusters of reddish to maroon flowers bloom from April through August. [4] Racemes of 5 to 15 pink disk-shaped flowers hang from stems covered with short hairs, bristles and spines. [5] The fruit consists of dark purple berries 6–8 millimetres (1⁄4–5⁄16 inch) long.
It is widely distributed, from California to Alaska and across North America east to Pennsylvania and Newfoundland, and south as far as New Mexico. [6] It may be found in low-elevation forests and swamps all the way up to the subalpine. [4] Outside its native range, Ribes species may be invasive. Ribes is considered to be an extremely hardy species, capable of tolerating a wide range of soil types and conditions; as evidenced by its wide distribution. [7]
