A feedback from another thread:

"............ I note that images a Ribes from VOF have been named as R.himalense. This needs to be checked. Flowers of the Himalaya

say "in drier areas only" for this species and I do not think VOF counts as a 'drier' area. Also, if one refers to the book, 'Valley of Flowers' it has Ribes glaciale Wall. .............."
