In the Kew Herbarium there is a form of Rubus, from South 

 Formosa, collected by Maries, which probably belongs to this 

 species, though it has thicker and relatively strongly-nerved 

 leaves.

Maximowicz records this species as wild in Nippon, and 

 cultivated throughout Japan. Miquel based his B. aceroides on 

 barren branches of a plant " introduced from China into Japan."
