This is a distinct species with small leaves and very short petioles. It has the 
habit of a Rubus with often creeping or even climbing branches. The leaves are 
rarely deeply lobed (Henry’s No. 5972). The pubescence seems very variable and 
the plant is apparently monoecious as well as dioecious. ; 
Here may be added the synonyms of the following species, which is closely related 
to B. papyrifera, but apparently absent from China. It differs from it in its thinner, 
more caudate and more glabrous leaves, in its darker colored branchlets, which ar 
pubescent only when very young, and in its mostly shorter glabrescent petioles.
