Ribes ambiguum is a
small deciduous shrub inhabiting the tops of old broad-leaved trees
in mountainous regions, hanging down to 50-100cm in length. Unless
the tree has fallen, it is probably impossible to see one. Leaves
are of alternate phyllotaxis; 2-5 leaves gather on each short branch
tip. Their blades measure 3-5cm in diameter, in a reniform-orbicular
shape, palmately cleft in 3-5 lobes, the margins having serrations.
Flower buds, 1 or 2 in number, emerge from the short branch tips and
blooms small light green-white flowers. The fruit is oval with
needle-like glandular hairs - it remains green even if ripened.
Bloom time: April-May. |
