Ribes echinellum, the Miccosukee gooseberry,[2] is a very rare North American shrub in the currant family, native to the southeastern United States.

The South Carolina populations were found in 1957 and 1981, and the first is protected at Steven's Creek Heritage Preserve.

[4] Ribes echinellum is a shrub up to 150 cm (5 feet) tall with spines at the nodes (places where the leaves are attached to the stem).

[5][6] Ribes echinellum is cultivated in a few places outside its native areas, as far south as Hudson, Florida, but does not reproduce there.

It is most abundant in the shade of deciduous trees on moist but well-drained soils with pH of 6.7 to 7.4.
