Ribes menziesii, the canyon gooseberry, is a species of currant found only in California and Oregon.

Ribes menziesii is an aromatic deciduous shrub with very prickly branches growing up to 2 metres (6+1⁄2 ft) in height.

It has somewhat rounded, hairy, glandular green leaves,[2] which are 1.5–4 centimetres (1⁄2–1+1⁄2 in) wide.

The petals are white, yellow or pinkish,[3] and extend forward to form a loose tube from which the stamens emerge.

[5][6] There are five to six varieties of the species found across the low elevation mountains of California, especially the Coast Ranges, and the coastal canyons and foothills, into southern Oregon.
