Ribes magellanicum

Coastal current. Grown in gardens, but also recorded on maritime slopes and cliffs on the Falklands, so may have already started spreading. This species could probably spread further along coastlines. (Whitehead, J. (2008) Priorities for Control: A Risk Assessment of Introduced Species on the Falkland Islands. South Atlantic Invasive Species Project ); Widely Grown In Gardens And Are Already Spreading And Are Likely To Continue To Spread In Ungrazed Islands Or Inaccessible Locations Such As Cliffs. (Department of Agriculture (2014). Biosecurity Workshops Report. Department of Agriculture); Species Present In Five Or More 10Km Grid Squares. (Creation of a Risk Assessment Protocol for Cultivated Species in the Falkland Islands and Volunteer invasive plant recording sheet (Unknown).); Ribes Magellanica. Currently Only Spreading In Areas Free From Grazing And Introduced From Southern South America (Anecdotal Or Circumstantial Evidence That These May Have Been Introduced Initially To Keppel Island In The C19Th By Indigenous Fuegian People Resident At The Missionary Society That Was Based There.). (Creation of a Risk Assessment Protocol for Cultivated Species in the Falkland Islands and Volunteer invasive plant recording sheet (Unknown).); Naturalised and cultivated. Rare. Sparsely scattered across the Falkland Islands (East Falkland, West Falkland, New Island, Keppel Island, Carcass Island, West Point Island). Moderate risk. Some plants controlled (R. Lewis 2013). (Upson R and Lewis R. Updated atlas and checklist. Report to Falklands Conservation. 2014; 225 pp.); Sparsely Scattered. Rare. Falkland islands wide.
