DISTRIBUTION AND OCCURRENCE

SPECIES: Ribes aureum | Golden Currant
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION : The distribution of golden currant ranges from British Columbia east to Saskatchewan, south to western Nebraska, Colorado, and northwestern Texas, west to Los Angeles, California, and north to the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range [11,21,22,23,30]. Golden currant is native to the West, but it has been cultivated and has naturalized in the East [28]. The distribution of Ribes aureum var. villosum, formerly Ribes odoratum [18,24], ranges from Minnesota east to Michigan south through Tennessee to Arkansas, west to Texas, and north through Colorado to South Dakota [18,52]. The distribution of R. aureum var. villosum is not considered in the ecosystems, plant associations, and cover types listed here because information is lacking.

In addition to the plant associations and cover types listed in preceding slots, golden currant occurs in the alluvial scrub vegetation of the San Gabriel River floodplain [44] and in central coast riparian forest [39] in California. In the Malheur National Forest, Oregon, golden currant is a member of the Mackenzie willow (Salix rigida var. mackenzieana) riparian dominance type; associated species include Wood's rose (Rosa woodsii), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratense), smooth brome (Bromus inermis), meadow barley (Hordeum brachyantherum), and redtop (Agrostis alba) [32].
