  1. No mention of the fact that Ribes alpinum is dioecious I have a male and female plant in our wood at Larch Cottage and the flowers look quit different.

    1. Yes – deliberate, Geoff! I have seen bushes in two places which appear to have both stigma and anthers developed, although whether functioning is a different matter. But I think that the ‘larger features’ are perfectly adequate to ID alpinum without having to look that closely.
