Inflorescence

The jostaberry (Ribes × nidigrolaria) is a complex-cross fruit bush in the genus Ribes, involving three original species, the blackcurrant R. nigrum, the North American coastal black gooseberry R. divaricatum, and the European gooseberry R. uva-crispa.[1] It is similar to Ribes × culverwellii, the jochelbeere (sometimes also called Black Negus), which is descended from just two of these species, R. nigrum and R. uva-crispa.[2]
