'''''Ribes bracteosum''''' ('''Stink Currant''') is a species of [[Ribes|currant]] native to western coastal [[North America]].
It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]], without thorns, growing to 3 m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 5-20 cm broad, [[palmate]]ly lobed with five to seven lobes. The [[flower]]s are produced in spring after the leaves emerge, on [[raceme]]s 15-30 cm long of 20-40 flowers; each flower is 5-10 mm diameter, with five white or greenish-tinged petals. The [[fruit]], born in clusters, is dark blue with a whitish bloom, edible but sometimes unpleasant.
