Abstract

This document is a guide to the Ribes of Colorado and New Mexico and the rust fungi which infect them. Information is presented for 15 species of Ribes with diagnostic, vegetative features and notes on their geographic and ecological distribution. The guide is intended as a field aid in evaluating sites for blister rust hazard to white pine from associated ribes. Leaf rusts found on ribes are also described as a means for distinguishing them from white pine blister rust. The significance of each species to forest management is discussed.
