Ribes hirtellum is a species of gooseberry commonly known as wild gooseberry[3][4] or swamp gooseberry.[5][4] It is native to Canada and the northern United States.[3][6] Cultivated gooseberries are derived from this species and from Ribes uva-crispa.[3][7]
Ribes hirtellum is known by several other names, including American gooseberry,[8] hairy-stem gooseberry,[8] hairy gooseberry,[8] low wild gooseberry[4] northern gooseberry[4], smooth gooseberry[4], and wedge-leaf gooseberry.[8]
Ribes hirtellum grows in a variety of habitats, including wetlands such as fens, sedge meadows, riverbottom forests, and swamps, shorelines of streams and lakes, and rocky openings in forests and along cliffs. It grows throughout much of eastern north America, from Alberta to Nova Scotia in Canada, south to West Virginia, and west to Nebraska in the United States.[3][5][6]
Whereas Ribes uva-crispa crops have been devastated by American gooseberry mildew, Podosphaera mors-uvae, which was accidentally introduced to Europe, Ribes hirtellum is resistant. It is one of four American species that have been interbred with R. uva-crispa to produce resistant cultivars similar to the original R. uva-crispa cultivars.[7] The cultivar 'Houghton' is one of those obtained by crossing R. uva-crispa with R. hirtellum.[7]

Ribes hirtellum es una especie de grosella espinosa perteneciente a la familia Grossulariaceae[1] nativa del noreste y centro-norte de América del Norte.[2] Las grosellas cultivadas se derivan de esta especie y de Ribes uva-crispa.[2]
Mientras que los cultivos de R. uva-crispa han sido devastadas por el moho de grosella americana, Podosphaera mors-uvae (syn: Sphaerotheca mors-uvae ), que se introdujo accidentalmente de Europa, R. hirtellum es resistente. Es una de las cuatro especies americanas que se han cruzado con R. uva-crispa para producir cultivares resistentes similares al original R. uva-crispa en cultivares.[3] El cultivar 'Houghton' es uno de los obtenidos por el cruce de R. uva-crispa con R. hirtellum.[3]
Ribes hirtellum fue descrita por André Michaux y publicado en Flora Boreali-Americana 1: 111. 1803.[4]
Ríbes: nombre genérico que según parece proce del árabe rabas; en persa rawas y rawash = nombre en oriente de un ruibarbo (Rheum ribes L., poligonáceas). Se afirma que ribes figura por primera vez en occidente en la traducción que Simón Januensis hizo, en la segunda mitad del siglo XIII, del libro de Ibn Sarab o Serapión –Liber Serapionis aggregatus in medicinis simplicibus...– y que este nombre fue adoptado por las oficinas de farmacia. En todo caso, se aplicó a plantas diferentes, cuales son los groselleros (Ribes sp. pl.), quizá por sus frutos ácidos y por sus propiedades medicinales semejantes.[5]
hirtellum: epíteto latíno que significa "un poco peluda".[6]
