  • Question

    hello, i was hoping you could help me identify this plant. its about three feet tall, native to northern new mexico/rocky mountains. It has little reddish berries about a centimeter in diameter.

    Answer

    Dear Jacob, your plant appears to be a species of Ribes (currant, gooseberry), which belongs to the Grossulariaceae. I am not familiar with the species in the image (you are a long way from my area of expertise). Hopefully knowing the genus will give you a good start on researching the exact species. Best wishes.
