The Ribes acquired the word that originally belonged to teeny grapes from Corinth.
Also, while I haven't seen fresh blackcurrants for sale, I do have a blackcurrant bush (now two, now I found out they don't like to self-pollinate) in the states.
The problem with the Ribes being previously banned here is they are host to a white pine rust that could potentially devastate the far more important lumber industry.
