State Rank Reason (see State Rank above)
Ribes oxyacanthoides ssp. hendersonii is uncommon in parts of western and central Montana, where it occurs on rocky, subalpine slopes. The species is undercollected and poorly documented though much suitable habitat exists. The species' habitat is largely remote and not widely subject to negative impacts with significant portions in designated wilderness or on lands managed for their conservation value. No significant and widespread threats to the species are known.
