RUBUS 



large (often 9 in. long), dark green, grayish white 

 beneath and thickly covered with glands, with 3 or 5 

 (usually 3) ovate Ifts., the terminal one much larger 

 than the others and often 3-lobed: fls. small, pink, in 

 panicles 18 in. long in Sept.: fr. orange-red, edible. 

 Cent, and W. China. G.C. III. 38:291. R.B. 33, p. 

 360. R. Kuntzeanus, Hemsl., is distinguished by its 

 glandless Ivs.; perhaps not specifically separate; the 

 plants in cult, as R. innominatus apparently belong to 

 this species. 



41. teledapos, Focke. Arching or procumbent, with 

 few strong incurved prickles: Ivs. ternate or somewhat 

 quinate, opaque above but densely pubescent when 

 young, white-tomentose beneath; lateral Ifts. obliquely 

 ovate-lanceolate, acute, coarsely serrate; terminal 1ft. 

 ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, sometimes 

 obscurely lobed, coarsely incised-serrate above: fls. 

 many, in a leafless terminal raceme or in few-fld. axil- 

 lary clusters, rose-colored or purple: fr. red. W. China. 



42. mesogams, Focke. Sts. weak or scandent, 

 densely tomentose-pubescent, with small weak prick- 

 les: Ivs. ternate, slender-petioled; Ifts. rhomboid- 

 elliptic or angled-ovate or oblique-ovate, all unequally 

 coarsely serrate, the terminal stalked, broad-ovate, 

 sometimes lobed-dentate: fls. several to many, small, 

 white or rose-colored, the petals obovate and clawed: 

 fr. small, red(?). China. 



43. idseus, Linn. EUROPEAN RASPBERRY. An erect, 

 mostly stiff grower, prop, by suckers, the canes light- 

 colored and bearing nearly straight slender prickles: 

 Ifts. ovate, white beneath, irregularly toothed and 

 notched, usually somewhat plicate or wrinkled : fl.-clus- 

 ters mostly long and interrupted, most of the peduncles 

 dividing into 2 or 3 pedicels, the pedicels, as also the 

 flowering shoots, petioles, and midribs, finely pubes 

 cent, but not glandular, and sparsely furnished with 

 firm recurved prickles: fls. small, white; calyx pubes- 

 cent: fr. oblong or conical, dark red, yellow or whitish, 

 produced more or less continuously throughout the 

 season. Eu. and Asia. Named for Mt. Ida, in Greece. 

 Early intro. into this country, but now nearly driven 

 from cult, by the hardier native species. The Ant- 

 werps, Fontenay, and Fastolf belong here. Rubus 

 idseus is not known to be native to N. Amer., but it is 

 said to be sparingly escaped from cult. 



44. strigdsus, Michx. (R. idseus, Linn., var. strigbsus, 

 Maxim. R. idaeus, subsp. strigbsus, Focke). RED 

 RASPBERRY. Fig. 3355, -p. 2913. Much like the last, 

 but distinguished by a more slender and open habit, 



3494. The Caroline 

 raspberry, a form of 

 Rubus neglectus 

 No. 45. 



RUBUS 



stiff prickles on the bearing canes which are brown 

 and somewhat glaucous, thinner leaves, and gland- 

 tipped hairs or bristles upon the flowering shoots, 

 petioles, and calyx, the latter less pubescent or hirsute: 

 fl.-clusters more open or scattered: fr. bright light red, 

 or rarely yellow or whitish, not 

 produced continuously. Widely 

 spread in the northern states 

 as far west as Missouri, also 

 in the mountains to Ariz, and 

 northward to Alaska, extending 

 farther north than the Black- 

 cap; also in Asia. Under cult, 

 the glandular hairs usually 

 disappear. The light red gar- 

 den berries, like Cuthbert, be- 

 long here. Var. albus, Fuller, 

 has amber-white frs. 

 This plant belongs 

 to a variable group, 

 and other species 

 have been separated 

 from it, as: R. caro- 

 linianus, Rydb., from 

 N. C., with young 

 sts. puberulent and 



densely retrorsely 3405 . Rubus occidentalis . T he 

 gjandular-nispia; ti. original of the cultivated black rasp- 

 Egglestonii, Blanch, berries (XM). No. 46. 

 (R. idseus var. andm- 



alus, Fern.), from Vt., perhaps an aberrant form, with 

 Ivs. of floral branches mostly simple and reniform and 

 somewhat rounded-3-lobed; and others. 



45. neglectus, Peck. PURPLE-CANE RASPBERRIES. 

 Fig. 3494. A large and variable race of hybrids between 

 R. strigosus and R. occidentalis occurs both naturally 

 (Rubus neglectus, Peck, 22d Rep. Reg. N. Y. State 

 Univ. 53, 1869) and in the garden (Bailey, Amer. Card. 

 11:721, 1890). These plants prop, either by "tips" or 

 suckers, usually by the latter. The fl.-clusters are open 

 and straggling, and the fr. ranges in color from yellow 

 to purple. As a rule, the fr. is aggregated at the end 

 of the cluster, but is scattering below. The Purple- 

 Cane type of raspberry belongs here. Prominent varie- 

 ties are Shaffer, Philadelphia (now nearly out of cult.), 

 Gladstone, and probably Caroline. 



DD. Fr. black at maturity (yellow-fruited forms are known). 



46. occidentalis, Linn. COMMON BLACKCAP. Figs. 

 3495, 3496. Strong, erect bush, the canes finally recurving 

 and rooting at the tips, furnished with straight spines, 

 glaucous, not bristly; Ifts. broadly ovate, dull green 

 above and white beneath, finely and sharply serrate 

 and notched, the petioles usually bearing short prick- 

 les: fls. in small, dense, prickly clusters with sometimes 

 a few scattering pedicels, the petals shorter than the 

 long-pointed whitish woolly sepals: fr. rather small, 

 hemispherical, firm or even hard, black or occasion- 

 ally amber-white, dry and sweet. Plentiful in fields and 

 clearings in the northeastern states and Canada to 

 Ore. and Brit. Col. and southward to Ga. in the moun- 

 tains, and to Mo. In cult, known in many forms, as 

 Ohio, Gregg, etc. Var. pallidus, Bailey, has amber- 

 yellow fr.; sometimes found in the wild. 



47. leucodermis, Douglas (R. occidentalis var. leu- 

 codermis, Card). Branches often yellow-tinged: Ifts. 

 more coarsely dentate-serrate, sometimes nearly incise- 

 serrate, more gradually acuminate, yellowish green 

 above, the prickles strong and more hooked and those 

 of the infl. flattened laterally: fr. reddish black or black. 

 Rocky Mts. and west to the Coast Range. 



AAA. Lvs. long-pinnate, usually with 3 or more pairs of 

 narrow Ifts. 



48. rosaefdlius, Smith (R. floribundus and R. sinensis, 

 Hort. R. rosseflbrus, Roxbg.). Erect and tall-growing,
