Editing Ribes (section)

===Subdivision===
First treated on a worldwide basis in 1907,{{sfn|Janczewski|1907}} the infrageneric classification has undergone many revisions,{{sfn|Sinnott|1985}} and even in the era of [[molecular phylogenetics]] there has been contradictory evidence.{{sfn|Schultheis |Donoghue|2004}} Although sometimes treated as two separate genera, ''Ribes'' and ''Grossularia'' (Berger 1924),{{sfn|Berger|1924}} the consensus has been to consider it as a single genus, divided into a number of [[subgenera]], the main ones of which are subgenus ''Ribes'' (currants) and subgenus ''Grossularia'' (gooseberries), further subdivided into sections.{{sfn|Sinnott|1985}} Janczewski (1907) considered six subgenera and eleven sections.{{sfn|Janczewski|1907}} Berger's twelve subgenera based on two distinct genera (see {{harvtxt|Senters|Soltis|2003}} Table 1) have subsequently been demoted to sections.{{sfn|Messinger|1995}}{{sfn|Schultheis |Donoghue|2004}} Weigend (2007) elevated a number of sections to produce a taxonomy of seven subgenera; ''Ribes'' (sections ''Ribes'', ''Heretiera'', ''Berisia'') ''Coreosma'', ''Calobotrya'' (sections ''Calobotrya'', ''Cerophyllum''), ''Symphocalyx'', ''Grossularioides'', ''Grossularia'', ''Parilla''.{{sfn|Weigend et al|2002}}{{sfn|Weigend|2007}}

Taxonomy, according to Berger, modified by Sinnott (1985):{{sfn|Messinger|1995}}{{sfn|Schultheis |Donoghue|2004}}
* Subgenus ''Ribes'' <small>L.</small> (currants) 8 sections
** Section ''Berisia'' <small>[[Édouard Spach|Spach]]</small> (alpine currants)
** Section ''Calobotrya'' <small>(Spach) [[Jancz.]]</small> (ornamental currants)
** Section ''Coreosma'' <small>(Spach) Jancz.</small> (black currants)
** Section ''Grossularioides'' <small>( Jancz.) Rehd.</small> (spiny or Gooseberry-stemmed currants)
** Section ''Heritiera'' <small>Jancz.</small> (dwarf or skunk currants)
** Section ''Parilla'' <small>Jancz.</small> (Andine or South American currants)
** Section ''Ribes'' <small>L.</small> (red currants)
** Section ''Symphocalyx'' <small>[[Berland.]]</small> (golden currants)
* Subgenus ''Grossularia'' <small>([[Mill.]]) [[Pers.]]</small> (Gooseberries) 4 sections
** Section ''Grossularia''<small> (Mill.) [[Nutt.]]</small>
** Section ''Robsonia'' <small>[[Berland.]]</small>

Some authors continued to treat ''Hesperia'' and ''Lobbia'' as subgenera.{{sfn|Messinger et al|1999}}{{sfn|Schultheis |Donoghue|2004}} Early molecular studies suggested that subgenus ''Grossularia'' was actually embedded within subgenus ''Ribes''.{{sfn|Senters|Soltis|2003}} Analysis of combined molecular datasets confirms subgenus ''Grossularia'' as a [[monophyletic]] group, with two main lineages, sect. ''Grossularia'' and another [[clade]] consisting of [[glabrousness (botany)|glabrous]] gooseberies, including ''Hesperia'', ''Lobbia'' and ''Robsonia''. Other monophyletic groups identified were ''Calobotrya'', ''Parilla'', ''Symphocalyx'' and ''Berisia''. However, sections ''Ribes'', ''Coreosma'' and ''Heritiera'' were not well supported. Consequently, there is insufficient resolution to justify further taxonomic revision.{{sfn|Schultheis |Donoghue|2004}}
