Ribes curvatum Small. Granite Gooseberry. Phen: Mar-May. Hab: Rocky upland and riparian forests and woodlands, bluffs, glade margins. Dist: E. TN, AR, and OK south to GA, AL, LA, and TX. Also reported for NC by Sinnott (1985); the specimens came from cultivated plants in a botanist’s garden, so there is no evidence that R. curvatum is a native or naturalized component of NC’s flora.
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
Synonymy: = Ar, FNA8, K3, K4, Tn, Tx, Sinnott (1985); = Grossularia curvata (Small) Coville & Britton – S; = n/a – RAB
