"Ribes aureum" Pursh (syn. "R. odoratum" H.Wendl.; Buffalo Currant; Clove Currant; Golden Currant) is a species of small to medium-sized deciduous shrubs 2-3 m tall in the genus "Ribes", native to Canada, most of the United States (except the southeast) and northern Mexico. It blooms in spring with racemes of conspicuous golden yellow flowers, often with a pronounced fragrance similar to that of cloves or vanilla. Leaves are green, shaped similarly to gooseberry leaves, turning red in autumn. The shrub produces berries about 1 cm in diameter from an early age. Ripen fruits, amber yellow to black in color, are edible. "R. aureum" is widely cultivated in cold temperate regions as an ornamental plant or, more rarely, for fruits. Several named cultivars exist. Although flowers are hermaphrodite, the yield is greatly benefited by cross-pollination. Unlike many other species of currant, "R. aureum" is remarkably drought-tolerant.
