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.
