Description

The shrub Ribes viburnifolium has several common names, including Catalina Currant. It is found in Southern California in the United States, especially on Santa Catalina Island, and in northern Baja California in Mexico. It is a rare member of the chaparral plant community, and more common in landscaped drought-tolerant gardens. It grows in only a handful of locations on the mainland U.S. The shrub grows low to the ground, extending long reddish stems horizontally where the tips may root and establish new growth centers.
