    Any idea where it belongs? The flower structure reminds me one of Ribes. But the leaves do not match anything among them. And looks like it does not make berries. I found this shrub on the rocky slope at about 3500 m.
    Thanks

    Very much alike! There are minor differences, probably Utah/alpine variety or age differences. Great! First wild species from Hydrangeacea in my collection.
    Thank you, David!
