RUBUS 



HUBUS 



Var. sativus, Bailey ( Zi . sat'irns, Brainerd). Fig. 

 "2207; also Fig. 237, Vol. I. Generally lower ami the 

 eaues more erect: Ifts. broader (or at least shorter) and 

 less prominently pointed : tl.-elusti.-'rs shorter (usually 

 from the elongation of the lower i>edicels or the upper 

 ones remaining short): t'r. rounder, and the drupelets 

 usually relatl\'ely larger and juii.-ier. Dry, open fields.

2203. Rubus laciniatus ("■ 



•j). Xo. 20, 



— Distinct in its extreme forms, but running into the 

 species l>y all manner of intermediate gradations. From 

 this plant the common "Short-cluster Bhu-kberries " of 

 the garden appear to l)e derive*!, as Snyder, Kittatinny, 

 Erie, etc.

 j'')h?(.s and Ji. monfCinii^i, Porter, not Wirtg. |. Very like 

 7i*. nigrohacciis, and perhaps only a mountain state of 

 a cosmopolitan type: plant smaller, usually less prickly: 

 branches and leaf -stalks usually reddish, and all young 

 growths very glandular-pubescent: Ivs. mostly smaller, 

 very long-pointed, closer-toothed: li. -clusters usually 

 smaller: fr. small, long and narrow, tapering towards 

 the top, the drupelets many and small, not very juicy 

 but of good flavor. In mountains and highlands. Ontario 

 to Virginia. — Common on the higher elevations, afford- 

 ing much edible fruit. In its typical form, as seen in 

 the wild, it is very distinct from 7?. nifp-ohacciis, par- 

 ticularh' in its fruit.

 by the "Loose-cluster Blackberries," as Wilson, Wilson 

 Jr., and Rathbun. The plants are usually half-erect, 

 thorny, mostly uiore or less glandular-pubescent on the 

 young growths: Ifts. broad and 

 jagged: fl. -clusters small and 

 usually forkirg withlrngpeli

 leafy: fr. globular or short-ob'long, black, usually good. 

 Mostly in open places, from New Brunswick to Lake 

 Superior and south to the Gulf. — Our most cosmopolitan 

 Blackberry, and presenting innumerable forms. The 

 plaurs described liy Link and Bigelow had rather few 

 a.n<l straighfish spines, but some forms ))ear very strong 

 hooked spines, and between these two forms there are 

 all uradatioiis. The species is much in need of critical 

 study. In enltivation it is represented in Pearly Harvest 

 and a few other varieties. 



2(i. il6ridus, Tratt. (B. argiifux. var. floriihts, Bailey). 

 Canes armed with hooked prickles- pedi'-els and ca- 

 lyx pubescent, sometimes glandular : doral Ivs. small, 

 mostly wedge - obovate and obtuse: tl. -cluster small, 

 with short (often very short) slender pedicels: fl.-buds 

 small and globular, white -pubescent (particularly on 

 the edges of the sepals): fls. large, with broad mostly 

 overlapping petals. Evol. Native Fruits, Fig. 91.— 

 What the writer takes to be this species seems to be 

 common in southern Mississippi, and perhaps also in 

 Alabama. How distinct it may be is only to be de- 

 termined by careful studies in the field; but in its 

 typical forms it is readily separate<l from B. (irf/ufiis. 

 It seems to be less erect (often climbing?) than B. 



27. Kandii (B. a ri/Hfus, var. Baudii, Bailey). Fig. 

 2209. Low and wi<le-sprea.ding (usually less than 3 ft.), 

 sometimes becoming procumbent, with few or almost no 

 prickles, the canes often almost herbaceous: Ivs. very 

 rhin, usiuilly becoming nearly or quite glabrous beneath. 

 the teeth ciarse, sharp and unequal, tin-' Ifts, on the 

 young canes acuminate : fl. -cluster small and simple, 

 commonly with a large simple leaf at the liase, the pedi- 

 cels long and slender and only slightly (if at all) pubes- 

 cent: fr. small, usually rather dry, but sometimes juicy 

 and good. Shady places, as in woods and thickets, New 

 Brunswick to Lake Sujierior; to be looked for in the 

 mountains of Carolina. — It impresses one as a weak 

 woods form, sometimes seeming nearest ii*. Canadensis 

 but oftenest suggesting B. }u</roh<(<-riis : Init it seems 

 to hold its characters better than most Blackberries.
